How to Adjust a GE TrueTemp Oven Sensor
The GE TrueTemp oven sensor acts as the oven's thermostat. At times, you must calibrate the sensor to ensure your oven heats at the proper temperature. Otherwise, you could undercook or even overcook your food in the oven. Fortunately, GE designed the sensor for servicing so you will not require the assistance of a GE certified technician to complete the adjustment.
