If you love to cook, you likely use your oven every day. As with any other appliance, though, it may be prone to a wide variety of maintenance issues over time. From simple fixes to bigger concerns, here are some of the most common oven repair problems homeowners face.

Top 3 Oven Repair Problems

1. The Door Won’t Budge

You may be surprised when your oven door refuses to open. This often occurs after running the self-clean cycle and can usually be fixed by shutting off power to the unit for a few minutes. This should allow you to move the locking lever.

On the other hand, an oven door that won’t shut is typically caused by faulty hinges or door springs. Partial disassembly is often required for this repair.

2. It Won’t Heat Properly

If your oven doesn’t heat to the proper temperature, it will be difficult to cook your meals no matter how precisely you follow the recipe. This is most often caused by a faulty temperature sensor inside the oven, though the heating element could also be to blame. In some cases, the oven may simply need to be recalibrated.

3. It Doesn’t Turn On

If the oven simply refuses to turn on, start by checking the circuit breaker. Sometimes, a flipped circuit is the simple source of your problem. If the power supply is functioning normally, however, a wide range of issues could be to blame. Electric ovens might be experiencing broken wires or a bad control element, while gas ovens could have a malfunctioning igniter or gas control.
