Possible Causes

Aging oven temperature sensor, Control calibration offset, Poor rack placement or load, Door seal heat loss

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Allow the oven to cool before placing or removing thermometers.

  • Verify with thermometer: Place an oven thermometer in the center of the oven and compare actual temperature to the setpoint over several cycles.
  • Adjust calibration: Many Bosch ranges allow temperature offset adjustment in the settings menu. Adjust by small increments (e.g., ±15°F / ±10°C).
  • Inspect sensor: If readings are erratic, test the oven temperature sensor resistance and replace if out of spec.
  • Check door gasket: Inspect the oven door gasket for gaps or tears and replace if leaking heat.
