Electrical – My electric oven runs 200C too hot. What can I do

electricalkitchensovenrepair

I have a fairly new (2011-ish) electric oven by Amica which has been running about 200 °C too hot. I can't find a thing in the manuals about re-calibration, though I have read in the past that it's possible to calibrate it without having to call in the troops for repair.

What should I be looking for? Or, is this something that simply should be handled by the pros?

I'd suggest searching the web for Amica maintenance instructions for your model. If there are recalibrations available at all, that's where you'll find the instructions.

Normally, a service tech would just swap out the electronics and/or sensor, since if it's drifted this far there's no guarantee that it won't do other Bad Things some time soon.
