Many people associate ovens with baking. However, ovens are multifunctional home appliances that make life easier for those who love hosting dinners or have large families to feed. You can also try cooking or baking new dishes to add variety to your meals with an oven. Ovens are the best for faster, easier, and even cooking.

Due to their reliability and hardy nature, many oven owners neglect to maintain their appliances in the best conditions.

Our oven repair technicians have years of experience diagnosing and repairing different oven brands. Call us or schedule an appointment online to have your oven diagnosed and fixed today.

Common Gas Oven Problems That Need Repair

1.   Ignition is Glowing, but there is no Flame

If your gas oven doesn't have a flame, the igniter is the first thing to check. If it is glowing, but there is no flame, you may need to replace the igniter. Igniters can get worn out and fail to open the safety valve that lets gas into the burner. Call your gas oven repair service to fix the igniter.

2.   Oven not Heating Evenly

One of the most common gas oven repair problems is an oven that does not heat or bake evenly. A faulty oven igniter may cause your oven not to heat evenly. When the igniter gets weak, it cannot adequately open the safety valve, resulting in low heat problems. 

Another possible cause of low oven temperatures is a failed bake element. If the element does not glow or shows signs of damage, it is time to call the gas oven repair in your area.

3.   Gas Odor

If you can smell gas when using the oven, turn it off and investigate a gas leak. Gas leaks are dangerous and can cause explosions or fires. If you cannot locate the leak source, call gas oven repair services to find and repair the leak.

There are two possible gas leak causes. It is either worn-out gas valves or holes in the gas valve. Call an oven repair expert to check and repair the gas valve before you can use the oven again.

Common Electric Oven Problems We Fix

1.   Oven Won't Turn on

The power supply is the first thing to check if your oven isn't turned on. If the oven is receiving power, several possible issues may prevent it from turning on. A faulty heating element is your first call. Other potential causes are faulty switches and temperature sensors.

Such issues need an electric oven repair expert's attention. Call oven repair professionals if you can't turn on your oven.

2.   Incorrect Oven Temperature

Your oven should maintain the set temperature. If the oven temperature is lower than the setting or your food overlooks, you need to recalibrate the temperature controls. 

Other causes include a faulty thermostat or oven element. You may need to call electric oven repair services if the problem persists.

3.   Oven Makes Strange Noises

You may notice your electric oven making unusual noises. It points to broken or worn-out mechanical parts like the fan—an electric motor powers the fan to distribute heat evenly throughout the oven. You should call an oven repair expert to check the fan and motor.
