An image forming apparatus of the present invention includes two temperature sensors each being responsive to the surface temperature of a particular portion of a fixing member. A reference temperature setting section sets a reference temperature value on the basis of the temperatures that are sensed by the two temperature sensors when the surface of the heating member is heated to a preselected temperature by a heat source. A controller calculates an actual temperature value on the basis of the temperatures sensed by the temperature sensors. The controller then compares the actual temperature value and reference temperature value to thereby determine whether or not a jam ascribable to a recording medium wrapped around the fixing member has occurred. The controller interrupts current supply to the heat source if such a jam has occurred.
