Range Stove Oven Repair

Encountering problems where one or more surface elements refuse to ignite or turn off? The root cause can be traced either to the surface element itself or to the associated switch, and the good news is that both scenarios involve straightforward repairs, typically completed in less than an hour.

• ● Surface Element Switch: Responsible for regulating power to the surface element coil, the surface element switch can be a potential culprit. Experiment by switching the elements around, and if the problem persists with the new element, it likely indicates a malfunctioning surface element switch.
• ● Surface Element Board: Governing the power supply to the stove burners, the surface element board houses one or several relays. If any of these relays fail, the entire board may malfunction. A thorough examination of the surface board using a multimeter to check for continuity is advised.
• ● Coil Surface Element: Ensure that the coil surface element is fully seated in its socket, and inspect for any signs of damage on the element and connections. A multimeter can be employed to test the coil surface element for continuity.
• ● Radiant Surface Element: Serving as the heating element itself, the radiant surface element is prone to burnout similar to a light bulb. Testing its functionality with a multimeter can help diagnose any issues.

The most prevalent issue with ovens is their failure to heat, and this dilemma often stems from a burned fuse or a malfunctioning relay board. In some instances, the main control board could also be the culprit. For gas ovens, the primary suspect in heating issues is often the igniter.

• ● Igniter: Acting as a common source of heating problems, the igniter's performance is crucial. Observe the igniter when the oven is in operation. If it continues to glow for more than a minute without igniting the gas into a flame, it likely indicates a weak igniter unable to open the safety valve. Replacement becomes necessary. If there's no glow at all, the igniter can be tested using a multimeter and replaced if deemed necessary.
• ● Spark Electrode: Responsible for igniting gas during baking and broiling, the spark electrode is located beside the burner. Examine the porcelain housing and the electrode tip for any signs of damage.
• ● Bake and Broil Elements: The bake and broil elements should emit a vibrant "red hot" glow for proper oven heating. Inspect these elements for cracks or holes, and use a multimeter to test for continuity.

When your oven fails to maintain the correct temperature or struggles to reach it, the likely culprit is the temperature control thermostat. An inaccurate oven temperature may also result from a faulty temperature sensor, while a malfunctioning control board can contribute to this problem.

• ● Bake and Broil Elements: Typically, the wear and tear of bake and broil elements are common reasons for inaccurate oven temperatures. Inspect these elements for signs of cracks or holes and use a multimeter to check for continuity.
• ● Igniter: As time passes, the igniter tends to weaken. Testing it with a multimeter for continuity can reveal any issues.
• ● Temperature Control Thermostat: Responsible for monitoring the oven's internal temperature, the temperature control thermostat is a complex component that can be challenging to test. Our experienced repair technicians can determine if this thermostat is the cause of your oven's heating issues.
• ● Oven Sensor: Regulating the oven temperature by adjusting its electrical resistance, the oven sensor plays a crucial role. For some oven models, recalibrating the oven control sensor is possible. Refer to your owner's manual for specific instructions.

When your oven refuses to power on, a malfunctioning thermal fuse could be the culprit. This fuse is designed to trip if the oven overheats, and if it's blown, the oven won't turn on at all. Additionally, a faulty relay on the relay control or a problematic main control board are common causes for an unresponsive oven. Bake and Broil Elements: These essential elements may wear out over time, exhibiting cracks or holes. A thorough inspection for any damage is recommended. Spark Electrode: Responsible for igniting gas during baking and broiling, the spark electrode can break or wear out over time. It should be inspected for any signs of damage. Igniter: Often, the primary reason for an oven not powering on is a malfunctioning igniter. Igniters play a crucial role in opening the safety valve and igniting the gas in the burner assembly. A multimeter can be used to test it for continuity, and replacement is advised if necessary.

When your oven's fan persists in running continuously, the likely culprit is either a malfunctioning oven control board or a thermostat issue.

If your oven door remains locked, typically after a self-cleaning cycle, the issue often lies with a malfunctioning door switch that requires replacement. Occasionally, a locked door can also result from a defective main control board.
