Oven Not Heating? Causes, What to Check and Professional Repair

An oven that will not heat, heats very slowly or never reaches the set temperature makes cooking impossible. The cooktop may still work while the oven stays cold, or the oven may heat only from the top.

Joseph Services repairs electric ovens and ranges that are not heating in homes across Montréal, Laval and the South Shore.

What to Check Before You Call

  1. Make sure the oven is not in a delay start, Sabbath or control lock mode.
  2. Check the clock and settings. On some models, the oven will not heat until the clock is set after a power outage.
  3. Check your electrical panel for a tripped breaker.
  4. Look at the bake element at the bottom of the oven. Visible blisters, breaks or a burn mark usually mean it has failed.
  5. If you have a gas range and smell gas, turn the oven off, leave the area and call your gas supplier.

Common Reasons an Oven Does Not Heat

Failed Bake or Broil Element

Elements wear out over time. If the oven heats only from the top, the bake element is often the cause; if broil does not work, the broil element may have failed.

Temperature Sensor

The oven sensor tells the control what the temperature is. A faulty sensor can stop heating, cause wrong temperatures or trigger an error code.

Control Board or Relay

The electronic control sends power to the elements through relays. A failed relay or board can leave the oven cold even with good elements.

Wiring or Terminal Damage

Heat can damage the wires and terminals that feed the elements. Burnt connections cause intermittent or no heat.
