Trouble Shooting

Electric ovens – Built in and free standing

The Oven does not work.

Note: Any Gas or electric oven or hob that is plugged into a wall socket could blow a fuse, usually because of a fault. Sometimes the socket can be faulty, rather than the appliance. To prove this try plugging in a table lamp or something you are sure is working into the socket if that is possible, this will enable you to check the wall socket is working before doing anything else.....

Check the display timer, is it on?

If the answer is no  then check  the power switch is turned  on, look for the power supply switch  ( Usually a red switch button, examples can be seen by clicking on the link) make sure it has not been turned off by accident, check the fuse board and see if any trip switches have turned off.

If the display timer is on but flashing you may have had a brief power cut, consult the manufacturers instruction booklet and reset the display timer to manual and try the oven again.

If the display timer is off or you do not have a display timer check the power supply switch as above and make sure it has not been turned off by accident, check the fuse board and see if any trip switches have turned off. If the fuse board trip switch has turned off you may have a fault with your cooker. Turn off the cooker switch, turn on the trip switch and then turn the cooker switch back on, try your oven again. If the fuse board trips again it is likely the oven is at fault .

My Oven Went Bang or tripped the fuse Board when in use or when not in use.

In some cases ( Free standing ovens or Hobs) spillage of liquids on the hob top can get into the electrics, if you know this has happened then turn off the electrics and wait 24 hours to dry out. If the fault continues call a technician.

In all instances it is advisable to read the Manufacturers Instruction manual before calling a technician as it could save you time and money.
