Here are some common issues that might require oven repair:

Oven not heating: This could be due to a broken heating element in an electric oven, or a malfunctioning igniter in a gas oven.

Uneven cooking or baking: This might be caused by a faulty thermostat that’s not maintaining the correct temperature, or issues with the convection element or fan.

Oven not turning on: This could be an electrical issue, such as a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker, or a problem with the gas supply in a gas oven.

Oven door not closing properly: This can be caused by worn or damaged hinges or seals.

Self-cleaning function not working: This might be due to a problem with the control board or the door lock motor and switch.

Oven light not working: This could simply mean the bulb needs to be replaced, or it could indicate a problem with the light switch or electrical wiring.

Oven making unusual noises: This could be due to problems with the fan motor, or in gas ovens, issues with the gas line or burner.

Repairing these issues involves diagnosing the specific problem, identifying the faulty component, and then repairing or replacing it. As with any appliance, these repairs can range from simple fixes to more complex tasks involving electrical or gas components.

Professional technicians are generally recommended for oven repair, especially when dealing with potentially dangerous elements like electricity and gas. Some simpler issues, such as replacing an oven light bulb, may be suitable for DIY repair if you’re comfortable with it.

Regular maintenance, such as keeping the oven clean, checking the door seals, and replacing the light bulb as needed, can help prevent some common oven problems and keep the appliance in good working order.
