You can typically clean spills on the outer surfaces of the oven door glass. Sometimes, spills work their way down into the inside of the oven door through top oven door vents. To clean streaks on the inner surfaces of the oven window, pull off the oven door and disassemble it to clean the glass. If you still can't clean off the streaks, consider replacing the door glass.

If the oven isn't heating to the baking temperature you set — it's too hot or not hot enough — the oven temperature sensor could be malfunctioning. Or the problem could be with the electronic oven control board, which controls oven functions.

You can test the oven temperature sensor probe by unplugging the range and measuring sensor probe resistance using a multimeter. It should measure about 1,080 ohms of resistance through most probes at room temperature.

Refer to the tech sheet for the probe's resistance specification for your range. You can likely find the tech sheet in the control console or taped to the back of the range. Replace the oven temperature sensor probe if the multimeter doesn't measure the correct resistance through the probe. If the probe is okay, you might need to replace the electronic oven control board.

If a gas range's oven bakes but won't broil, the problem could be the broiler burner igniter or the electronic oven control board.

Follow the troubleshooting steps in our gas oven won't heat video to check the igniter and control board in a gas range. A broken broiler element or failed electronic oven control board could prevent the broiler from working in an electric range. Our electric oven won't heat video provides troubleshooting steps to help you fix this problem in an electric stove.

A broken oven temperature sensor probe also may prevent the broil element from heating or staying on in the broil mode in either type of range. When the oven temperature sensor probe fails, you'll likely see temperature control problems in the bake mode as well.
