Possible Causes

Aged temperature sensor, miscalibrated control electronics, poor door seal, fan not circulating air evenly

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Allow the oven to cool before removing panels or touching internal parts.

  • Measure actual temperature: Place an accurate oven thermometer in the center of the cavity. Preheat to a known temperature (e.g., 180°C) and compare the reading.
  • Adjust calibration: If your De Dietrich model supports temperature offset, enter the settings menu and adjust the calibration to match the thermometer.
  • Inspect sensor and seal: Check the temperature sensor for secure mounting and the door gasket for leaks. Replace the sensor or gasket if defective.
  • Check fan operation: Ensure the convection fan runs properly in fan modes to avoid hot or cold spots.
