Your oven is
without a doubt one of ‘the’ most important appliances in your household,
right? As without it, how would you cook those family meals that almost always
require a stove and an ‘oven?’
Ovens are an
essential part of any household but just like any appliance, they sometimes
experience problems both minor and major. In this blog post, we hope to help
you understand those minor problems a little better so you feel a little more
confident when problems occur with your oven.
However,
unless the problem is obvious and you are 100% sure you can deal with it
yourself, we advise you to call us and seek the aid of one of our experienced
repair technicians because ovens, electric or gas, can be dangerous.
Ovens
malfunction in various ways but the two main areas are
- Electrical
- Mechanical
Electrical
Issues with Your Oven
Nowadays,
most ovens are powered by electricity and when your oven is getting any power
at all or simply isn’t turning on, it could be that a circuit has tripped at
your panel box.
Make sure to check this before calling us. If,
however, your oven ‘does’ turn on but just doesn’t produce any heat at all,
then it is more than likely a defective selector switch or a faulty thermostat.
If your oven
seems to be cooking food at too high or too low a temperature, this too, is a
thermostat issue.
It is even
possible for gas ovens to suffer from electrical problems because the pilot
light requires electricity to function. There may even be a problem with the
clock or thermostat as a result of an electrical fault.
Always keep
an eye on these things to ensure you don’t get a nasty surprise when your oven
stops working.

your Oven and the Possible Mechanical Issues
Believe
it or not, oven doors play a crucial role in ensuring your oven is functioning
properly. Why is this?
It
is simply because, with most ovens if the door isn’t shut properly or is
damaged in some way, the oven won’t cook or won’t cook as effectively as it
normally does.
Check
your oven door and the seal around it to make sure there is no damage or flaws
around its edge.
Sometimes
the problem is with the air circulation, if your food isn’t cooking properly.
This could mean your oven filter is clogged up with debris and needs clearing
in order to restore the balance.
