LG range or oven oven temperature is too hot, too cool or uneven

LG range or oven oven temperature is too hot, too cool or uneven: normal cycling, rack/cookware, preheat and measurement method must be controlled before calibration. Scoped to LREL6325F.

If a new LREL6325 cooks differently from an old oven, LG says the oven is factory calibrated and to follow recipe times for the first few uses, then adjust the thermostat yourself: press Settings repeatedly until AdJU appears, key the number of degrees on the keypad, press Settings again to add a minus sign, and press START. The oven can be shifted up to 35 °F either way, LG suggests starting at 15 °F, and the change does not affect broiling or Self Clean temperatures.

Differential

Likely causes of “LG range or oven oven temperature is too hot, too cool or uneven”, and how to tell them apart

  1. 1

    A thermostat offset that does not suit your cooking

    What separates it Baking is consistently too dark or pale compared with your old oven

    How to confirm Use AdJU under Settings to shift the oven 15 °F, test, then fine-tune by 5 to 10 °F

  2. 2

    Convection auto conversion changing the set temperature

    What separates it The display shows 325 °F after you set 350 °F for Conv. Bake

    How to confirm Avto subtracts 25 °F on purpose; turn Avto off in Settings if you want the literal temperature

  3. 3

    Wrong rack or an unlevel rack

    What separates it Food browns on one side or bakes unevenly even when the temperature is correct

    How to confirm Use the rack position from the baking guide and check the oven rack is level

  4. 4

    Foil or cookware blocking air flow

    What separates it Food underbakes even though the oven display reaches the set temperature

    How to confirm Remove foil from the racks and use the right size of pan

Before you touch a setting

Record this first — changing settings destroys the evidence

  • The set temperature and what an oven thermometer reads
  • Whether convection or Conv. Bake was used
  • Which rack position and pan were used

Try in this order

0 of 5 completed
  1. Give it a few uses

    Reversible

    Follow recipe times and temperatures carefully for the first few uses. LG says the oven is factory tested and calibrated.

  2. Open Settings

    Reversible

    Press the Settings button repeatedly until AdJU appears on the display, ignoring the other options such as Avto and PrE that come first.

  3. Enter the offset

    Reversible

    Key the number of degrees on the number keypad. Press Settings again to add a minus sign when reducing the temperature, then press START.

  4. Check auto conversion

    Reversible

    In Settings the Avto option subtracts 25 °F in Conv. Bake and Conv. Roast; turn it on or off with the 1 key and START.

  5. Verify with a thermometer

    Reversible

    Place an oven thermometer on the center rack and compare it to the display after preheating, then adjust by 5 to 10 °F steps.

Stop boundary

When this stops being a self-service repair

  • !If an oven thermometer shows more than 35 °F away from the set temperature after using AdJU, call LG service
  • !If the display shows F-9 with the temperature wrong, call service because the oven is not heating properly

Exact questions

Common questions

How far can I adjust the temperature?+

Up to 35 °F higher or lower.

How much should I start with?+

LG suggests raising or lowering the thermostat 15 °F to start.

Does AdJU change broiling?+

No, it does not affect broiling or Self Clean.

Is the setting kept in a power failure?+

Yes, it is retained in memory.

What does Avto do?+

It subtracts 25 °F for convection cooking.

Why is the oven cycling on and off?+

LG says that is normal temperature control.

Can foil cause uneven cooking?+

Yes, on racks it restricts air flow.

How do I reset the offset?+

Return to AdJU and enter 0 degrees, then press START.
