Check Your Cooker/Oven First

Sometimes the issues with your cooker/oven can be more straightforward than you’re lead to believe and don’t always require a professional cooker/oven repair service like what we offer at Cooker Repairs Bristol. We’ve listed a few common questions regarding such issues and provided some actions that you can take to gauge whether our repair service is necessary. For all other queries, contact our team directly.
Is your cooker or oven not turning on?

Check that the timer on the cooker/oven is set, and that it has not been set to automatic. The timer will reset itself when it is powered off at the mains, so when you switch it back on, be sure the time is set.

No power going to your cooker or oven?

Check the mains power supply on the wall.  This could be turned off as it’s easy to brush past a switch and turn it off by mistake. If this does turn out to be the case, then don’t forget to set that timer once you have turned the cooker/oven back on.

Cakes not rising evenly when baking?

Try switching from your fan cooker/oven option to a conventional cooker/oven setting if you have one.

Is your cooker or oven smoking?

Some of the time this is a fault, and requires an engineer visit. Other times this is simply down to your cooker/oven being dirty and needing a good clean. We recommend an oven/cooker cleaning company in Bristol named Oven Gleamers.

Is your cooker/oven not heating up?

Verify that temperature indicator is lit. If so, could be a faulty element or sign of a thermal cut-out. Fuse is usually at back near the element. You can check with a meter for resistance or visually inspect for damage if you don’t have a meter. Replace the cooker/oven element if necessary.

If it isn’t lit, check the timer and make sure that it’s not set to zero. Check the selector switch for damage also and the thermostat for continuity. If not apparent, call our team.

The cooker/oven bulb has blown

Usually a straightforward repair. When replacing, source a bulb specifically for cookers/ovens/grills as they’re designed to withstand high temperatures. Verify replacement against model number.

One of the hob rings isn't working correctly

Could be down to a fault with the ring circuit or the selector switch. Inspect for damage. If not apparent, use a meter to check resistance. The range is usually between 30 and 60 ohms. Anything higher, it’ll need replacing.

The grill no longer heats up

Inspect in the first instance. If no damage is apparent, use a meter. You might have to check the connector pins and the socket too. Connector pins may need cleaning or the socket may need replacing. SWITCH OFF THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE DOING THIS!

 

The cooker/oven is tripping the electrics

Could be one of of the following:

a) Fuse-related – which suggests a short circuit. You can isolate with a meter and you’ll be able to narrow down by checking if it only blows when the cooker/oven is selected on the fuseboard. In which case, it’s more than likely to be either the element or the cooker/oven lamp.

b) Possible tripping earth leakage or RCD trip on fuseboard. Suggests that only a small amount of power is being transferred. It may be the element, but we would advise always consulting with an electrician if it’s not clearly apparent.
