Got a broken oven and don’t want to wait days for a repair guy? You’re not alone. Most oven problems are easy to fix yourself—no fancy tools needed. Let’s cut through the confusion and get your oven working again fast.
First, check the basics. Is it plugged in? For gas ovens, make sure the gas supply is on. Sometimes the pilot light went out, or a safety switch got tripped. Reset the circuit breaker or gas valve if you’re stuck. If your oven’s display is frozen, unplug it for 5 minutes and plug it back in. I’ve saved countless meals this way—no professional required.
Gas ovens: If the burner won’t light, check the igniter. It should glow red. If it’s not, clean it with a soft cloth or replace it (costs around £20). Electric ovens often have a burnt-out heating element. If it’s black or cracked, swap it out—it’s a simple fix with a new part from your local store. Just remember: always turn off the power before you start.
Also, keep your oven clean. Crumbs and spills can mess with sensors and cause errors. Wipe out the inside after every use, and run a self-clean cycle once a month. It’ll keep your oven running smoothly and avoid future headaches. A clean oven = fewer problems.
If your oven’s still not working after these steps, it’s time to call a pro. Major issues like a faulty control board or gas valve need expert hands. Don’t risk it—safety comes first.
