Temperature sensor failure</h3> <p>board does not command the element due to incorrect reading</p> <h3>3. Air Sous Vide system fault (premium models)</h3> <p>the precision temperature system uses additional sensors that can fail</p> <h3>4. Convection fan element failure</h3> <p>the ring element around the rear fan fails independently</p> <h2>Step-by-Step Troubleshooting</h2> <p>Before starting any troubleshooting on your Electrolux oven, disconnect power at the circuit breaker or unplug the unit.
