Stove Not Working at All? Causes, What to Check and Professional Repair

When the whole range stops working, with no burners, no oven and sometimes no display, the problem is usually in the power supply to the stove or its main controls rather than in a single element.

Joseph Services repairs stoves and ranges that have stopped working in homes across Montréal, Laval and the South Shore.

Safety First

If you have a gas appliance and smell gas, do not turn anything on or off, leave the home and call your gas supplier or 911 from outside. If you notice a burning smell or scorch marks behind the stove, turn off its breaker and do not use it.

What to Check Before You Call

  1. Check your electrical panel. Electric ranges use a double breaker; reset it fully off and then on.
  2. If only half of the stove works, one side of the breaker or one power leg may be the cause.
  3. Make sure control lock is not on.
  4. On gas ranges, check that the range is plugged in; the igniters and controls need electricity even though the burners use gas.

Common Reasons a Stove Stops Working

Burnt Terminal Block or Power Cord

Where the power cord connects to the back of the range, a loose connection can overheat and burn, cutting power to the stove.

Breaker or Household Wiring

A tripped or failing double breaker, or a problem in the wall outlet, can cut power to part or all of the stove.

Main Control Board

On electronic ranges, the main control or power supply board can fail and leave the entire range dead.

Internal Fuses or Thermal Cut-Off

Some ranges have fuses or a thermal cut-off that open after overheating.

Gas Valve or Ignition System (Gas Ranges)

If no burner lights on a gas range, the issue may be the ignition system, the spark module or the gas supply.
