First, check the basics. Is your oven plugged in? (Yes, even electric ones sometimes get unplugged accidentally.) For gas ovens, make sure the gas supply isn't turned off. Check your circuit breaker too—sometimes it trips when the oven overheats. If the display is blank but your stove works, the oven's fuse might be blown. Swap it out (they're cheap at hardware stores) and see if that fixes it. Simple, right?
What about error codes? Modern ovens love flashing 'F1' or 'E2'. Don't panic. Most just mean a sensor needs cleaning. Wipe it with a damp cloth—it's usually the culprit. If the code stays on after cleaning, though, it's time to call someone. And yes, you can reset most ovens by holding the 'clear' button for 10 seconds. Try that before you panic.
