When your oven or stove suddenly stops working, it can feel like a disaster, especially on a busy day. However, before reaching for the phone to call for professional help, there are several DIY tips you can try for basic oven & stove repair. Remember, though, if you encounter specific error codes, it's best to call a professional for assistance.

Let's start with some common issues with ovens. If your oven isn't heating, check the power supply first. For electric ovens, inspect the circuit breaker to ensure it's not tripped. If you have a gas oven, make sure the gas supply is functioning correctly. Sometimes, a simple reset can resolve these issues.

For stoves, the burners can cause problems. If they're not lighting or heating evenly, try cleaning the burners first. Built-up residue can block the gas flow or electrical connections. Gently remove the burners and clean them with warm, soapy water. Ensure everything is dry before reinstalling.

If you encounter an error code on your oven or stove, it usually indicates a deeper issue. While each brand may have different codes, a frequent one is 'E1', which typically indicates a temperature sensing fault. In such cases, avoid further DIY fixes as these require professional attention. Contact us via our company number to book an appointment for a detailed inspection and repair service.

Another prevalent error code is 'F9', often related to a door lock malfunction. This issue can occur due to a faulty door latch, especially after a self-cleaning cycle. Again, this is something a professional should handle to ensure safety and proper repairs.

Modern models might also have error codes like 'E15' or 'F8', related to electrical or sensor problems, respectively. In any case of seeing an unfamiliar error code, calling our expert service is the best step you can take to ensure your oven & stove repair is handled correctly and safely.

Remember, while some basic troubleshooting can be done at home, managing electrical or gas-powered appliances without adequate knowledge and skills can be dangerous. If DIY methods do not resolve the issue, our professional team is ready to assist you with all oven & stove repair needs, ensuring your appliance is back to running smoothly.
