The oven temperature indicator behaves differently

An indicator that remains lit and one that never lights have different meanings across models. It is the change from the usual behaviour that deserves attention.

Relate it to cooking

Include whether food heats normally, slowly or excessively and whether a displayed temperature is a setting or a measured reading. Do not infer a thermostat fault from a lamp alone.

Keep settings comparable

Record the programme and selected temperature used for a familiar result. Assessment can consider controls, indication and actual heating together without relying on an unverified kitchen thermometer reading.

A useful distinction

The indicator may cycle as part of normal regulation, depending on the model. A changed cooking result gives the behaviour context and prevents an enquiry relying solely on the duration of a light.
