Neff oven not heating up to correct temperature

t sounds like there may be an issue with the temperature control system in your Lincoln oven. Here are a few things you can check:

1. Make sure the temperature probe is clean and inserted properly into the oven. If the probe is dirty or not inserted all the way, it may not be accurately reading the temperature.
2. Check the thermostat for any signs of damage or wear. If the thermostat is faulty, it may not be able to regulate the oven temperature correctly.
3. Look for any loose or damaged wiring. Loose or damaged wiring can cause the oven to overheat or not heat up at all.
4. If the above checks don't identify the issue, it may be time to call a professional technician to diagnose and repair the oven. They will have the necessary tools and expertise to diagnose and fix any issues with the temperature control system.

My suggestion is NEVER EVER use the self cleaning feature. We see questions like yours at least 4 times a week. Locked doors, burned out elements, burnt out fans and even frazzled control boards. The temperature is just too hostile.

The oven is cleaned by heat, at temperatures above normal cooking temperatures. During the cleaning cycle the oven is heated to about 880 degrees Fahrenheit (471° C.). At this temperature, food soils inside the oven decompose, leaving behind a small amount of ash.

But Neff says you need a Service Call.

Hello, Barbara -

You have not stated the make (manufacturer name) and model of oven in which you wish to bake your cake. Knowing that information will be helpful for me or some other volunteer answerer for Fixya to give you the correct information. Please click or tap on Comment, type the necessary information giving the make and model of your oven in the Comment box, and post your added information.

Most ovens have dials or digital screens whereby one chooses the baking temperatures. I am thinking that you do not have the user's manual for your oven. The user's manual is where I would look for instructions for setting the oven temperature.

By the way, to me, 180 degrees Fahrenheit seems a very low temperature for baking a cake. You didn't mean 180 degrees Celsius did you?

Best wishes.

your correct, circo therm approx ten minutes quicker 160 degrees equates to 180 c cooking temp.

hi remember that electric can kill you even if it is unplugged, if you don't know what components are likely to hold charge or have large inductance get someone else to fix it.

you need to get the service manual as tis will have fault finding charts, part numbers, location of sensors etc. If you can't get manual then:
Not likely to be temp limiter as this cuts out if temp is too hot. Find temp probe, may be ntc, mercury vapour switch etc. take probe out disconnect leads and measure resistance, heat, or cool, probe measure resistance if not significantly different (ie 10k to 100k or 100k to 300k) then probe is shot. Take probe to spares place, get replacement and refit. Be very careful to refit leads exactly as they came out, don't want insulation to melt and oven to become live. test with oven or meat thermometer as new sensor may need calibration. Should be accurate to within 10C or so

hope this helps

Either the temperature sensor has a problem (shorted so the control thinks the oven is colder than the actual temp) or a relay feeding the bake or broil element is welded shut and causing one of the elements to stay on. If the elements are still heating when the "ON" indicator is NOT lit, then you have a welded relay. You need the control board repaired.

If you are monitoring the oven temperature with an analog style thermometer you may actually be ok, but seeing the thermometers slow reaction time.
Some newer ovens actually do pre-heat beep prior to reaching temp in an effort to conserve eelectricity.
A good home test is to try your oven at several different temps to see if there is any variation in internal temperature. Try it one day on 300, the next at 375 and another day at 450. Give your analog style thermometer time to catch up (usually just about 15 min) and leave it on for a half an hour to see if the temp maintains.
Also Beware of aluminum foil AND THE NEW OVEN LINER MATS as they can alter oven performance bay absorbing and blocking the ovens natural heat radiation and convection air flow currents that happen in all ovens, not just convection models.
Another interesting fact is that older ovens used a thermostat in them that operated much like your thermometer and was very slow to react making the oven typically about 100 degrees hotter than where the customer set it. This was just a fact of life before the advent of electronic temperature management and became noticeable when people began trying to bake older "hand me down" recipes in the newer ovens with less than stellar results.
You can mimic the older oven performance by preheating the oven about a hundred degrees higher than called for and after it reaches temp, re-set it to the correct temperature and put the items in right away.
If you find your temperatures fluctuating ask your servicer to replace first the temp sensor and as a last resort the control board as this part is usually pretty expensive.
Good Luck with this!

no it does not did you change correct limiter double ovens have up to 3 and they all operate at different values.

Thermostat is not working properly and needs replacement.

I have just checked the baking guide in the manual and have found that it may not be us after all. (Maybe this is why they telll us to read the whole manual. Well, I never have) According to the cooking time for Baking, the range is very extensive. For example, an angel cake at 350 could take from 28-50 minutes, buscuits at 375-400 could take 8-16 minutes, layer cakes at 350-375 could take 25-40 minutes, pound cakes at 325-350 could take 45-70 minutes and fresh pies at 400-450 could take 35-60 minutes. Basically, the baking directions on the box means absolutely nothing to use Amana oven owners. We have no choice but to cook our food or baked goods until they are cooked, whenever that may be. :) Linda
