Problem No.1: Not Turning On
After plugging On the Oven but still no power? Several issues include wire is broken, a damaged broil element or bad control, or amount of power it needs is less or more. While for gas oven problems like faulty gas control, igniter or valve. Attempting to fix these issues is highly dangerous in which you could be electrically in shock, it is advisable to leave it to the professionals at Appliance Doctor Inc.

Problem No.2: Unstable Temperature
Overcooked, or not properly cooked food is the most common result of an oven not cooking the correct temperature. There is a need to recalibrate the temperature controls, which can be found on the owner’s manual. This can be done by increasing or decreasing the temperature levels by up to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, recording correct temperature reading every 30 minutes, adjusting the oven’s temperature dial (based on its readings), and repeat testing until the correct calibration. If all of these are a bit complex, it is time to call in the professionals.

Problem No.3: Light is Not Working
If there is no light, the possibility is that the bulb is burned out and can be replaced by a new one. If the problem still not fixed, it could be an electronic control, or a bad light switch, or connecting wire which is best to consult an electrical technician since it would involve electrical wirings, circuitry and the danger of electrocution.

Problem No.4: Not Heating Up
After some time the oven is not heating up at all then the ignition system or the heating element is possibly damaged. For electric ovens, the problem is likely the heating element. When you adjust the temperature and still not heating up, then the heating element should be replaced. For gas ovens, the bad igniter is the main suspect, but also make sure the gas line is in good condition. After checking and found the range above the oven is fine, then probably the igniter needs to be replaced by Appliance Doctor Inc.
