Appliance Doctor as the most trusted appliance repair company in Southwest Florida prepare the list of common oven problems you encounter.
1. Why oven has no power, what to do?
After plugging on the oven but still no power? Several issues include wire is broken, a damaged broil element or bad control, or the amount of power it needs is less or more. While for gas oven problems like faulty gas control, igniter or valve. Attempting to fix these issues is highly dangerous in which you could be electrically in shock, it is advisable to leave it to the professionals at Appliance Doctor at (239) 434-7546.
2. My oven is working but has unstable temperature?
Overcooked, or not properly cooked food is the most common result of an oven not cooking the correct temperature. There is a need to recalibrate the temperature controls, which can be found in the owner’s manual. This can be done by increasing or decreasing the temperature levels by up to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, recording correct temperature reading every 30 minutes, adjusting the oven’s temperature dial (based on its readings), and repeat testing until the correct calibration. If all of these are a bit complex, it is time to call in the professionals.
3. My oven has no light.
If you have a gas stove, you can light the range burners with a match if the electric ignition isn’t working. However, if the burners won’t light, and it’s not the result of an obvious problem like a power outage, you should troubleshoot it.
- Lift off the burner grate, burner cap and burner base.
- Clean any food debris out of the burner with a toothpick or some compressed air.
- Clean the grate, cap and case while you’re at it.
- Check the wires connecting the igniter to the control module. If there’s a loose connection here, tighten it.
Burner still won’t light? You may need to replace the igniter. There could also be another problem, like a kink in the gas line. Time to call Appliance Doctor at (239) 434-7546.
4: My Oven Won’t Heat?
An oven that won’t heat is usually the result of a faulty igniter (for a gas oven) or heating element (for an electric oven). If both your gas oven and your gas burners have stopped working, the problem is most likely with the gas line, and will require professional repair. However, you may be able to replace the heating element or igniter yourself.
- Use a screwdriver to remove the old igniter or heating element. Heating elements are usually located inside the oven, while you can access an igniter from underneath.
- To get to your igniter, remove the broiler or storage drawer.
- Make sure to turn off the power to your oven before servicing it.
- If your heating element is of the hidden variety, you may need to call a repairman to replace it for you.
After checking and found the range above the oven is fine, then probably the igniter needs to be replaced by the Appliance Doctor.
