Common Oven Problems We Fix

Ovens break down in all sorts of ways. Think of an oven as a tiny, complex engine — if one part fails, the whole thing can stop working. We frequently repair:

• Oven won’t heat – often caused by burned-out heating elements, failed igniters, or malfunctioning gas valves
• Oven heats unevenly – hot spots or cold spots due to faulty convection fans, temperature sensors, or burners
• Oven won’t turn on – can be traced to electronic control boards, fuses, or tripped circuit breakers
• Oven doors won’t close or latch – common in built-in wall ovens or older units
• Thermostat issues – ovens that overcook or undercook because temperature sensors read wrong
• Strange noises or smells – buzzing, clicking, or burning odors from worn components
• Digital error codes – signals of electronic, sensor, or wiring problems

Mini Story: A Bucktown homeowner called after their GE wall oven kept burning cookies on the top rack while leaving the bottom doughy. Our technician found a failing convection fan and a partially burnt heating element. Replacing both restored even heat. The oven now bakes evenly — the cookies survived, much to the customer’s delight.

When to Call a Professional Oven Technician

Some minor things, like cleaning a burner or checking a vent, are okay to do yourself. But call a technician if:

• Your oven won’t heat at all
• Heat is uneven or flames are inconsistent
• Strange buzzing, clicking, or hissing noises
• Doors won’t latch or close properly
• You smell gas
• Digital control panels show error codes

Think of it like stopping a spark before it turns into a fire. Early repairs save money, protect your kitchen, and prevent ruined meals.

Gas vs. Electric Ovens

Gas and electric ovens operate differently — like two sides of the same coin:

• Gas ovens – rely on proper flame control, working igniters, and safe gas valves. Even a small blockage or misaligned igniter can make them stop heating.
• Electric ovens – depend on heating elements, thermostats, and sensors. Burned-out coils or faulty electronics can cause uneven baking.

Our technicians know the quirks of each. We treat every oven like a delicate instrument, ensuring reliable, safe, and even cooking.

Tools and Techniques We Use

Repairing ovens isn’t just swapping parts. We use:

• Multimeters – check voltage, continuity, and electronics
• Gas detectors – ensure safe operation of gas ovens
• OEM replacement parts – burners, igniters, heating elements, control boards, valves
• Calibration tools – for digital panels and thermostats
• Cleaning tools – remove debris from burners, vents, and fans

Using the right tools is like giving your oven a full checkup — it prevents future problems and ensures safe, consistent performance.

Regular Oven Maintenance Matters

Ovens are like car engines — they need tune-ups. Blocked burners, worn sensors, and failing electronics can cause failures or safety hazards. Appliance Repair Stars offers inspections and maintenance to save money, prevent hazards, and keep ovens cooking evenly for years.

Safety Tips for Oven Owners

• Always make sure burners are off when not in use
• Don’t leave your oven unattended while cooking
• Keep flammable items away from the unit
• Schedule inspections if you notice strange noises, smells, or uneven heating
• Only use licensed technicians for gas or electrical repairs

A few simple precautions can prevent accidents — like having a safety net in your kitchen.
