Finding Faults and Issues on Ovens and Cookers

As you can imagine as consumers are asking for more and more from their kitchen appliances, ovens and/or cookers are much more complex now and therefore more problems can arise.  At one time it was very rare for a problem with the older style equipment, let’s face it, there was far less that could go wrong!

Whatever the fault with the oven, it is paramount that before you do anything, make sure the power is turned off from the mains.  Whilst mentioning safety, it is a good time to bear in mind that young children and hot ovens don’t go well together.  You can’t blame anyone else if a child is unfortunately hurt by coming too close to an oven that is in use.  Please be careful.

Identifying the fault

Oven doesn’t heat up:  if everything else appears to be working, the most likely cause for this issue is that either the fan or oven element has failed.  If you have isolated this as the problem, you should be able to check in your manufacturer’s handbook for advice and guidance on obtaining and replacing the part.  If you have lost your handbook, try looking up the issue on the internet and sure you will find lots of useful advice.   Read more here
