Oven Not Turning On? Causes, What to Check and Professional Repair

An oven that will not turn on may have a blank display, controls that do not respond, or a display that works while the oven does nothing when you press Start.

Joseph Services repairs ovens and ranges that will not turn on 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.

What to Check Before You Call

  1. Check for a tripped breaker in your electrical panel. Electric ranges use a double breaker.
  2. Make sure control lock or child lock is not on. On many models you hold a button for three seconds to unlock it.
  3. After a power outage, set the clock; some ovens will not operate until the time is set.
  4. If the door is locked after a self-clean cycle, let the oven cool completely and try again.
  5. Note any error code shown on the display.

Common Reasons an Oven Will Not Turn On

Control Board or Touch Panel

A failed electronic control or touchpad can stop the oven from responding. Self-clean cycles and power surges can damage these parts.

Door Lock Stuck

If the door lock motor or switch fails, the oven may stay locked and refuse to start a cycle.

Power Supply or Terminal Block

A burnt terminal block, loose connection or damaged power cord can cut power to part or all of the range.

Thermal Fuse or Internal Fuse

Some ovens have a thermal fuse or board fuse that opens after overheating, leaving the controls dead.

Gas Igniter (Gas Ovens)

On gas ovens, a weak igniter may glow but not open the gas valve, so the oven never lights.

How We Repair an Oven That Will Not Turn On

We check power at the range, test the control, door lock, fuses and wiring, and on gas ovens the igniter and valve. You get a flat-rate price before any repair.
