Oven not heating evenly — Los Angeles, California
Food that is burnt on one side and raw on the other, or baking that takes much longer than recipes indicate, points to uneven oven heating. Causes include a failing bake or broil element, a malfunctioning temperature sensor, a broken convection fan, a door seal that no longer holds heat, or incorrect oven calibration. An appliance-repair technician can test the heating elements, recalibrate the thermostat, replace the convection fan motor, and reseal the door gasket.
