What to do if my oven is not working (Easy guide for Toronto Homeowners)

Stoves and ovens have been around for Centuries and became an integrated part of every Toronto home kitchen since the 1940’s. And so, for almost a decade we spend every day in and out using our stoves and ovens one way or another and when a failure occurs - There is only so much take out food we can consider eating. 

Luckily, many of the most common stove and oven issues have simple fixes—or at least some clear signs that it’s time to call in help.

Let’s walk through the top reasons your stove or oven might stop working—and what to check before you pick up the phone.

Why Do Stoves and Ovens Stop Working?

Some of the usual culprits include:

• Faulty bake or broil elements

• Broken surface burners

• Igniters that won’t spark

• Unresponsive touch panels or knobs

• Tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses

These problems can lead to:

• Uneven cooking or baking

• Burned or undercooked meals

• Strange smells or electrical buzzing

• Safety risks if gas is involved

Check the Power Source (Or Gas Supply)

Start with the basics:

• For electric stoves - make sure they are fully plugged in.

• Gas units should have a fully open gas valve and you should be able to hear the igniter clicking when you turn it on.

• Turn the unit off for 1 minute and restore power
