Common Oven and Cooktop Problems We Repair

Is your oven not heating, making unusual noises or constantly tripping the circuit breaker? Melbourne Repairs can diagnose and repair a wide range of oven and cooktop problems for homes, businesses and rental properties across Melbourne.

Some of the most common problems customers contact us about include:

​

Oven Not Heating

If your oven turns on but does not produce enough heat—or any heat at all—the problem may involve the heating element, thermostat, temperature sensor or another internal component.

​

Oven Not Turning On

An oven that will not switch on may have an electrical fault, damaged control, faulty timer or power-supply issue. Our technician can inspect the appliance and identify the cause.

​

Oven Fan Not Spinning

The fan helps circulate hot air throughout a fan-forced oven. If it stops spinning, your food may cook slowly or unevenly.

​

Squeaky or Stiff Oven Door Hinges

Squeaking, stiffness or difficulty opening and closing the oven door can indicate worn or damaged hinges that may need adjustment or replacement.

​

Oven Door Not Closing Properly

A door that does not seal correctly can allow heat to escape, increase cooking times and cause uneven results. The issue may be related to the hinges, door seal, latch or alignment.

​

Broken Oven Door Glass

Cracked, shattered or damaged oven-door glass should be assessed before the oven is used again. We can inspect the damage and advise whether the glass or door assembly needs replacing.

​

Oven Burning Food

If food is burning even when you are following the recommended temperature and cooking time, the oven may have a thermostat, sensor, element or heat-distribution problem.

​

Oven Overheating

An oven that becomes hotter than the selected temperature can make cooking difficult and may damage food. This problem commonly requires professional diagnosis of the temperature-control components.

​

Oven Tripping the Circuit Breaker

If your oven trips the circuit breaker when it is switched on or begins heating, stop using it and arrange an inspection. Do not continue repeatedly resetting the circuit breaker, as the appliance may have an electrical fault.

​

Oven Making a Loud Noise

Grinding, rattling, scraping or squealing noises may come from the oven fan, motor, loose components or worn internal parts.

​

Cooktop Igniter Keeps Clicking

A gas cooktop igniter that continues clicking or sparking on its own may have moisture around the ignition switch, a stuck control, damaged wiring or a faulty ignition component.
