About Repairing Your Stoves!


ADVICE ON COOKERS, STOVES and RANGES

Stoves cookers and ranges get a lot of work. If you look after them they will give years of trouble free service. The secret is too keep them clean.

Maintain all surfaces using manufacturer recommended cleaners, and this applies to solid cook top elements and ceramic hob surfaces.

If your unit is a new generation unit check the error codes and look it up in the manual for clarification before you call the service man.

SAFETY WARNING

Never attempt to repair or troubleshoot your home-appliances unless the electrical power is switched off and the plug removed.

This site or myself cannot accept any responsibility for injury or death following any attempt to follow the advice given within this website.

If you are in any way unsure of your ability to follow the advice then call a qualified electrician or service person.

Unplug or electrically isolate the appliance before checking any part of the wiring, or opening the protective covers

The oven does not come on at all

1. Always check that the power is on. The unit power indicator light will show this. If a fuse or breaker has gone there is probably an element failure.

2. Check that the automatic cooking or self clean timer/clock and control function is not incorrectly set, this is very common. It should be set in the mode

3. Check that the or selector knob is correctly set

4. Check that the element is not blown.

5. The oven thermostat is faulty

The oven heats but is either too high or too low

1. The heating element control thermostat may be faulty.
