12 Top Range Cooker/Oven Repairs Problems
Your oven is great when it works but when it goes wrong, what a frustration… below we have a list of the top 12 issues we get called out for, click each title to provide more information on oven repairs.
1. Cooker Clock Not Set!
When the clock is not set correctly the main oven will not start & looks like it’s actually dead, some people confuse this with a selector switch or thermostatic problem, then in fact just resetting the clock by pressing one or two buttons on the left-hand side and one of the two right ones will cure the problem!
2. Oven Door Doesn’t Close Tight!
This is normally confused with being a door seal problem, however normally under closer inspection, it’s actually the door hinge or receptor that are worn with age, it only has to be worn slightly to have a gap of 5mm at the opening. Of course, on some it’s the actual spring that has worn.
3. Oven Door Seal Broken!
We get called upon very often to repair these issues, however, it’s a simple thing that can be remedied by the user by simply pulling the seal away from the unit and replacing it with a new door seal. You simply pull up & out, you’ll notice they typically clip in at each corner!
4. No Heat In Oven Compartment!
Usually, this is diagnosed by the user as cold air only in the oven or no heat or it won’t come on, this typically means the heater/element has become open circuit. This will need an engineer with replacement parts to be called!
5. My Oven Isn’t Getting Hot Enough!
Normally users complain that their oven is taking an exceptional amount of time to heat up e.g. pizza takes 30-40 mins instead of 14mins or the roast takes 6 hours instead of 2 hours… Very Frustrating when happens, but typically means the fan motor has gone weak or seized up, will need an appliance repairman to supply new motor & replace!
6. Electric Tripped While Cooking!
This normally means that the heater/element filament has lost its insulation or warped inside the earthed casing & touched the casing, this can be seen when you have a visual on the element as a split or cauliflower-like bulge on the casing. It can also show as a white powder/dust covering the inside of the oven compartment.
7. Cooker Cut Out While I Was Cooking!
This could be as simple as a faulty fuse, so just reset in the fusebox. However, it could also be a melted terminal block on the rear of the oven where the wires join the oven. This can be caused by not regularly serviced or by not being wired properly on installation! Simply call an oven repairman to renew the terminal block!
8. My Oven Is Burning Everything So Quickly!
An oven burning everything normally means the thermostat has gotten weak and is ineffective in activating the switch which controls the power to the heater/element… defiantly best to get an engineer because of lots of wires & a strip-down of the oven!
9. The Oven Control Knobs Are Melting Or Hot To Touch!
This is typically due to the cooling fan which redistributes the hot air from the rear of the oven and blows it across the top of the oven keeping the circuits, wires & oven controls safe from melting.
If it is working you will feel the air in the gap between the oven & fascia.
10. My Hob Wont Regulate Or Simmer!
We also hear that it boils everything or burns all my pans, this typically means that the regulator has welded itself inside. Call an appliance repairman to replace it with a new regulator switch.
11. My Hob Ring Wont Turn On.
This is the opposite of the regulator welding shut, this time it’s open, this is quite rare though.
12. My Grill Won’t Turn On!
This could be a range of things from the element to the selector switch or thermostat/regulator.
