My oven stopped working!!

Question

My kitchen oven stopped working. It doesn't heat up anymore. The lights do turn on but it just doesn't heat. Any ides!!!

Answer 1

ou didn't say but I am assuming it is electric as hardly anything ever goes wromg with a gas oven.

Check timer and clock settings

Reseat the element

Test the element

Test the element connectors

Test the oven temperature control

Test the oven selector control

Answer 2

If it's an electric oven it has a burnt out element.

Answer 3

It almost always helps to have as much information about a particular item as possible, when trying to identify a problem. At least brand and type of range would be extremely helpful.   If this is a gas range, less than 20 years old, then there's a distinct probability that the glow igniter that causes the gas safety valve to work in the oven has broken.  It may still glow, but it won't be getting the proper electrical voltage to the valve.  If it's an electric range, then there's the possibility that the selector switch is in the wrong position, or it's broken, or the thermostat/oven temp. control switch is broken, or the element could be broken.

Answer 4

thermostat or the heating element would be the first places to look.  Assume we are talking about an electric stove?
