Here are many problems facing oven that calls for repairs.

When the oven does not work at all:

It could be as a result of no power supply to the oven. Therefore, you can check a tripped circuit breaker or the blown fuse. Examine the wall socket with voltmeter if power is there.

The lid burner is not working.

Often time, the usual problem is dirtiness or the blocked burner. As a result, always ensure that the burner remain ever clean.

In case you own a pilotless model, it makes use of a spark igniter to ignite the gas which is working when combined with a spark switch as well as a spark module. Since it is fairly difficult to examine these areas and identify the faulty one. We therefore, suggest that you reach out to an expertise in appliance.

If the oven fails to bake:

Bake igniter: anytime the bake igniter is ineffective or spoilt, your oven will be hindered from baking. This bake igniter is always fixed over the oven burner. This is almost an inch by 4 to 8 inches based on the model. Besides, it is usually designed in round or flat styles. Supposing the igniter has stopped glowing, this implies that the igniter is damaged and you can change it if such is the case. Do not forget that among the exception may be that your oven is adjusted to automatic mode rather than manual. As such, adjust this oven to manual mode and re-examine.

Supposing the bake igniter is glowing in red rather than bright yellow or white, there is high tendency that it has becomes ineffective. In this situation, the safety valve will prevent the gas from entering inside the oven burner. Again, do everything possible to restore the burner. Apart from damage igniter, being the commonest cause, some other causes include:

Faulty thermostat

Faulty selector switch

Fault gas safety.

If you are sure the igniter is functioning perfectly, it is logical to invite professional appliance technician.

It the oven refuses to broil:

Again, your oven will certainly not brow whenever your brow igniter is ineffective or spoilt. Ideally, the brow igniter is visibly fixed over the oven burner. It measures almost one inch by 4 to 8 inches and designed either in round or flat shape. If the igniter is glowing too lowly, you will need to restore it. It may be that your oven is adjusted to self adjusted mode rather than human controlled. So go ahead and readjust it to manual mode and cross check.

F the broil igniter is getting too weak; it indicates that the broil igniter will be glowing red. Here, the safety valve would hinder the gas from entering inside the oven burner so restore the weak igniter.

Other common causes could be:

Faulty thermostat

Faulty selector switch

Faulty gas safely valve

Having certified the igniter, you may then reach out to a competent appliance technician.

Concerning the electric ovens, here are some common problems:

Failure to work: Possibly there is no power contact, ensure that power is entering your oven. Examine the tripped circuit breaker or a blown fuse. Also, observe the wall socket if there is presence of power with a voltmeter. Occasionally, the power cord may disjoint or burns at eh appliance. If this happened, you must restore both the wiring and the terminal block.

Top element refuses to work: Supposing the element working effectively or inability to get red hot at the ‘tt1’ setting it is likely that the problem is with a burned out receptive in which the element is plugs into. All you need do here is to restore the element as well as that receptacle. When the element is having little holes or bubbles on the coil, go ahead and replace the element.

Infinite Switch: The element may fail to start when the infinite switch is faulty. Do not forget to replace it if going bad.

If the oven does not bake, simply replace the bake elements if faulty.

If it does not broil, then restore the faulty broil element.
