So, you’ve burnt your evening meal for the third time this week despite cautiously watching the temperature and your timer. You’re desperately protesting against your other half’s claims that you can’t cook, and to prove this you’ve started looking into why your oven is too hot. Well actually, you may not be wrong – if you’re finding that your oven is continuously getting too hot, it is likely that there is a fault at hand.
An oven that is getting too hot is a common fault in electric ovens. This can be due to a number of reasons, but most cases this can be down to a fault in your thermostat which is not regulating the temperature. Keep reading to find out more reasons why your oven might be too hot.
Reasons Why Your Oven is Too Hot
Faulty Thermostats
If you have a faulty thermostat, it is no wonder that your oven is getting too hot. Once you have set the temperature of your oven, the thermostat’s job is to tell the oven it when it has reached the right heat. If it is faulty, the oven can’t accurately regulate when it is supposed to heat up or cool down.
Failing cooling fans
Another reason why your oven may be getting too hot? A faulty cooling fan. Without a working fan, it’s too hard for your oven to cool down, which is why it may be overheating. Our range of oven cooling fans will fix this issue in no time! To find a perfect replacement cooling fan for your oven,

Overworked oven elements
In order for your oven to be able to produce heat to cook your food, it needs a working oven element. If your oven element becomes faulty it will potentially create more heat than necessary, causing your oven to become too hot and your food a little too...overdone. It’s important to replace a faulty oven element as soon as you notice a problem, and we have a massive range for you to pick from.
