If your oven will not heat, takes a long time to preheat, or stays well below the temperature you set, Arrowhead Appliance Repair can help. We are a family-owned company, in business since 2016, based in Independence, Missouri. Call or text 816-248-1910, or email service@arrowheadappliance.com.

 

An oven that will not heat may have a simple control setting in the way, or it may have a failed part. The oven can be in delay start, a timed bake that has already ended, or a lock mode after a self-clean cycle. The door may not be closing fully, and some ovens will not heat until it does. On an electric oven, a bake element can fail, or a control or sensor can keep the oven from coming up to temperature. On a gas oven, a weak or failed igniter is a common cause, and the gas control can also fail. Those gas and electrical parts should be diagnosed by a technician, not tested at home.

 

Safe checks are the ones that do not involve gas or electrical work. Confirm that the oven is set to bake, not to a timer-only or delayed start. Make sure a child lock, Sabbath mode, or a lock left from self-cleaning is off, following the owner's manual. Close the door firmly and check that nothing is blocking it. If the oven has no power at all, check the household breaker. Do not test a bake element, an igniter, or a sensor with tools, and do not remove the back or floor of the oven to inspect parts. Do not work on gas lines or gas controls.

 

If you smell gas, do not use the oven or range. Leave the area and follow your gas supplier's emergency instructions, then call a professional. If the oven still will not heat after the setting, door, and breaker checks, or if it heats unevenly or only on broil, it is time to call a technician.
