We service a wide range of types of ovens, such as gas ovens, cooktops and ranges, electric ovens, cooktops, and ranges, wall ovens and double ovens. But, no matter the type, it can be hard to determine the underlying causes of an external oven issue. That's why you can trust your local handyman to get the job done for you.
Some common issues we face for stove top and range repair in Fort Worth are:
Broken Elements
Your elements are the external components responsible for heating your food. Whether from the baking or broiling elements inside the gas stove or the stove top elements on top of the oven, they will look like metal coils. If these components of the oven are broken, your oven may not heat at all. Or if it does, it may result in undercooked food, due to uneven cooking.
To determine whether this is the cause of your oven's issues, first turn off the oven and give the elements about thirty or so minutes to cool down. Then, take the elements out of the stove to determine if there are any holes or cracks in them. If there are, this may very well be the cause of your oven issues. You will need to call in our appliance repair professionals to be sure, however. Our experts also possess the tools for further diagnostics, such as a multimeter tool, which will confirm whether the elements are receiving power.
Faulty Gas Igniter
When your oven won't turn on, a broken or faulty gas igniter might be the culprit. To check whether your gas igniter is faulty or not, turn the oven off and on again to determine if the gas igniter glows orange. If it does glow orange or if blue-white sparks are jumping from the igniter without igniting the gas, you have a faulty igniter.
Broken Temperature Sensor
The job of the temperature sensor is to regulate the temperature within the oven so that it reaches and stays at the desired heat setting. If the sensor is broken, it will not have the ability to read the correct temperature and regulate accordingly. When this is the cause, trust our quality repair professionals to get the job done for you.
Oven Door Won't Close
An oven door not closing will cause the heat in the oven to escape and your food to cook unevenly. Bent or damaged door hinges is the most likely cause of an oven door issue, oftentimes due to excessive weight placed on the door. The oven could also have loose door gaskets or faulty mechanisms for door latches.
Safety Valve Won't Open
A safety valve's job is to allow the electrical current, initiated by the igniter, to pass through it. The valve opens and closes to allow gas to flow into the burner. If your safety valve is broken, this is due to a faulty igniter. If the igniter is faulty, the safety valve will not open and heat will not be released. As mentioned above, if the igniter turns on but does not ignite the gas, it is likely broken. and need to be replaced.
Faulty Outlets
An electric oven needs 240 volts to power it. A power outlet should provide more than enough power needed to heat the oven. However, if you're finding your outlets aren't providing enough power to your oven, it could be due to a tripped circuit breaker or a faulty outlet. But, how do you determine if your outlets are faulty? Some common signs of a faulty outlet are misshapen or melted plastic. If you reset the circuit breaker and that doesn't do the trick, you'll need to call in a professional to take a closer look at the issue.
Blown Fuse
A blown fuse in your oven means that it will cut off the power, making it so your oven won't be able to turn on. Once you've turned the oven off and let it cool, you can then remove the fuse and visibly inspect it. If the fuse link is disconnected from the fuse, it is broken.
Control Board Issues
The control board is the section of the oven that displays the time and oven metrics, and it regulates the oven's settings. When the control board is faulty, the oven will not turn on. You can assess the control board for visual signs of damage. If you notice damage, a replacement will be needed.
