Oven or Stove Not Working? 5 Common Issues We Fix
Experiencing issues with your stove or oven? Don't worry, we've got you covered. Here are the five most common problems we fix.
Learn how to identify and resolve these common malfunctions so you can get your kitchen back in working order.
1. Stove or Oven Won’t Turn On
When your stove or oven refuses to turn on, several problems may be at play.
Gas burner won’t light:
If you have a gas stove, a clicking burner that won't light is often caused by a blockage in the gas flow. Clean your burners and check if the igniter and metal burner cap are clean as well.
Electric burner won't heat:
For electric burners, a failure to turn on could indicate a faulty element. Test other burners to determine if it's a specific element issue or a larger problem. If none of the burners work, contact a professional.
Oven not heating:
When your oven isn't heating up, the thermostat, heating elements, power supply, or circuitry may be at fault. It's best to consult an experienced professional for diagnosis and repairs.
Oven light out:
To replace a burned-out oven light bulb, follow these steps:
- Look up the type of bulb required for your model.
- Turn off the power.
- Allow the oven to cool and remove the baking racks.
- Find and remove the cover and old bulb.
- Insert a new bulb and replace the cover.
- Put back the baking racks and restore power.
2. The Oven Door Is Stuck Closed
A misaligned or broken self-clean latch, defective clock, or malfunctioning control board can cause a stuck oven door.
For doors stuck after self-cleaning:
- Wait for the oven to cool completely.
- Attempt to reset the self-clean cycle by initiating it again.
- Cancel the cycle after the lock motor stops and wait for it to stop running before trying to open the door.
For doors stuck with an activated lock-out feature:
- Deactivate the lock-out feature by pressing and holding the Stop/Clear or Clear/Off button for three seconds.
- Wait until the lock-out indicator stops flashing before opening the door.
For ovens with a manual lock:
- Wait for the oven to cool completely.
- Press firmly on the door handle while moving the lock to the unlocked position.
- Oven Is Not Self-Cleaning
3. The Oven Is Not Self-Cleaning
If your oven is not self-cleaning, a defective latch switch or function selector may be to blame. Try these troubleshooting steps:
- Allow the oven to cool down completely.
- Reset power.
- Inspect and replace any damaged or misaligned latch components.
- Check wiring for signs of damage
- Contact a professional if needed.
4. Gas Oven Broiler Is Not Working
If your gas oven broiler is not working, it is likely due to a faulty broiler igniter or valve. The broil element may have failed while the top burners still function. Check for any signs of wear or damage on the broiler ignitor and valve. If either component appears faulty, seek assistance from a knowledgeable professional to replace the part.
5. Oven Not Reaching Temperature
If your electric oven is not reaching the desired temperature, it could be due to a malfunctioning temperature sensor or function selector. Check if the sensor is touching the oven wall and ensure that the oven is properly calibrated.
How to Troubleshoot and Fix Your Oven, Stove, or Range
Before calling a professional, try these troubleshooting steps to resolve your issue:
Electric oven won’t turn on:
- Check the power cord connection.
- Turn off and on the oven's circuit breaker.
- Tighten or replace blown fuses.
Gas oven won’t turn on:
- Attempt to ignite one of the surface burners.
- Verify the main gas shut-off valve is in the ON position.
- Ensure the clock is set correctly.
The oven takes a long time to preheat:
- Wait for 15 to 20 minutes for it to reach 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Keep the oven door closed during preheating.
- Account for extra time if your oven has a concealed heating element.
- Remove aluminum foil from racks or bottom to avoid impacting preheating time and cooking performance.
