Fagor Temperature Calibration Drift

The oven heats, but the temperature is inaccurate compared to the setting; no error code is displayed.

Possible Causes

Aged temperature sensor with shifted resistance, control board calibration offset, poor cavity insulation, door seal leakage.

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing internal components.

  • Measure actual temperature: Place an oven thermometer in the center of the cavity. Compare readings at several setpoints (e.g., 160°C, 200°C). Note any consistent offset.
  • Adjust calibration: If your Fagor model supports it, enter the settings menu and adjust the temperature offset (e.g., ±10–30°C) to match the thermometer.
  • Check sensor: Test the NTC sensor resistance at room temperature and compare it with specifications. Replace if significantly off.
  • Inspect door seal and insulation: Replace a worn gasket and check for obvious insulation gaps around the door frame that could cause heat loss.
