Oven Not HEATING UP? Here's What Might Be Wrong
Nothing’s more frustrating than prepping dinner — and realizing your oven won’t turn on. Whether you’re dealing with a gas or electric oven, this issue can have several causes, from minor to major.
At S&H Appliance Service, we’ve helped homeowners across Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Staten Island get their ovens back up and running fast. Below, we break down the most common reasons your oven won’t turn on and what you can do about it.
✅ Common Reasons Your Oven Isn’t Turning On
1. Power Supply Issues
For electric ovens, a tripped breaker or faulty outlet could be the problem. For gas ovens, it might be a gas supply issue.
Fix:
Check your breaker box and reset any tripped breakers.
For gas ovens, ensure the gas valve is open.
Try plugging another appliance into the outlet to test for power.
2. Blown Thermal Fuse
The thermal fuse is a safety device that shuts off the oven if it overheats. If it blows, your oven won’t power on.
Fix:
This part is not resettable — it must be replaced. A technician can safely test and replace it.
3. Faulty Igniter (Gas Ovens)
If you hear clicking but your oven isn’t lighting, or if it doesn’t heat at all, the igniter may be worn out or faulty.
Fix:
You may need a replacement igniter, especially if it glows weakly or not at all. This is a common repair for gas ovens.
4. Defective Control Board
The control board is the brain of your oven. If it’s damaged, the oven might not respond at all.
Fix:
A technician can inspect the control board for visible signs of damage or test it electronically. If faulty, it may need replacing.
5. Broken Oven Timer or Settings Error
Sometimes, the issue is simply a delayed start, child lock, or timer error.
Fix:
Double-check your oven’s digital display to ensure no timer, delay, or lock settings are active.
