Why is my oven running but not heating?
The display, light, and fan can all work while the oven produces no heat. In an electric oven the cause may be a bake or broil element, the temperature sensor, or the control. In a gas oven it may be the igniter, the gas valve, or the gas supply. GE Appliances lists a few checks for a gas oven that will not heat that are worth a look before you book a visit. If those don’t solve it, we test the oven and tell you which part failed.
Why does my oven cook unevenly or seem too hot or too cold?
Every oven cycles above and below the temperature you set, and GE Appliances explains how much oven temperature normally swings. Whirlpool’s guide to an oven that seems too hot or too cold covers preheating, rack position, and bakeware. If food still comes out under- or overcooked, the sensor, an element, the convection fan, or the door gasket should be tested.
Is an older oven worth repairing?
Often, yes. Many oven repairs involve a single part, and we recommend replacing an oven only when a dependable, cost-effective repair is not possible. After the diagnosis you have the repair price in hand, so you can compare it with the cost of a new oven before you decide.
Do you repair gas and electric ovens?
Yes. We repair both gas and electric ovens, including built-in wall ovens and the ovens in ranges. Bake and broil problems, ignition problems, error codes, and doors that won’t close or seal properly are all things we diagnose.
