My Convection Oven Isn’t Heating Up?

Give your oven time to warm up, and test to see if the oven is set to the right temperature, or needs adjustment. Simply put the oven thermometer in your oven and see if the temperature you have set is the same as the temperature on your thermometer. Then, you would add all of the readings together, and divide it by the number to figure out your average oven temperature. Turn your oven to 300 degrees F. and test your oven temperature after 10-15 minutes, when your oven is completely heated.

Throughout, once the oven is turned on, you should watch to see whether or not the spark plugs or the sparks start glowing. The igniter will turn on in order to keep the safety valves open until the designated oven temperature is reached in the gas furnace. If the igniter is too weak to open the ovens gas valve and ignite gas, or has failed entirely, your Wolf gas stove will not get hot. An oven that does not heat up is typically a result of either a malfunctioning igniter (for gas stoves) or a malfunctioning heating element (for electric stoves).

If you open your gas oven and it does not heat, there are a few possible causes you may want to address. If one of the heating elements breaks or is malfunctioning, an electric oven will either heat incorrectly or it may not heat at all. If your ovens fan is not working altogether anymore, or is blowing cool rather than warm air, that means that one of two things is failing: either the fan assembly and the motor, or the heating elements from the fan itself. Whatever is wrong with the fan in your convection oven is related to those three things, or there is a deeper issue that is causing systemic malfunctions of your oven, which includes the fan.

If the motor powering the fan is defective, then the fan does not work, and oven air does not circulate, leading to poor heat. If a fan is not working, the air will not circulate, and you will find your Wolf oven is not warming up enough, or cooking your food as fast. In convection-model ovens, a fan circulates the heated air within, which results in a quicker, evenly cooked meal. Convection ovens decrease wobbles because of a fan, either with or without a heating element, which makes heated air swirl around the cooker.

If you have a stove that uses convection heat, whether for all of your cooking or simply as a feature, then it uses a fan to spread heat from the stove over a cooking bowl. If your oven is an electric, your bakers heating element is probably going to deliver 90% of the baking heat, while your broiler is going to deliver the rest, so that your food is cooked evenly. The heating elements are typically located within the oven, and you may be able to access the burners from below. The thermostat of the oven is mostly responsible for regulating electricity being delivered to the heating elements, helping heat up the electric oven.

If you notice your electric oven is not warming to the right temperature, and your food comes out undercooked, it may be caused by a faulty electrical furnace thermostat. There could be problems with the ovens thermostat, electronic elements, or fuses, if your oven has any. If the fan in the oven is not working at all, then this is probably not a case of the heating element being bad, but a problem with the fan itself, or with the motor turning it. When the cooking element is broken, it might not function normally when you power up the oven — and this includes failing to heat up to the proper oven temperature.

When the temperature gets sufficiently low, a temperature probe signals the ovens control panel to warm up the bake element and raise the temperature. If the malfunctioning Samsung ovens sparker fails, it might be unable to do either or both of those functions, leaving your oven with no heat. A dirty or defective igniter can be seen inside the oven, or you may need to take off the bottom panel of the oven to access it. If your ranges burners are turning on, but your oven is not heating up, a dirty or faulty igniter could be the issue.

If both your gas stove and the gas burners stopped working, then the issue is likely a gas line issue that requires a professional to fix. For a more severe issue where the gas oven simply does not heat up, you might have a damaged oven burner or spark plug. If your stove is not heating up as expected, or takes significantly longer to heat up than normal, this may all indicate that the fan is not working. If you do not disconnect the power, you run the risk of electric shock or death if you touch the fan motor or wires connecting the motor to your ovens controls.

Replace your convection oven fan by removing the old motor from its housing and installing the new motor in its place, including switching out wire harness connections from the old component to the new component. If your multimeter confirms that your fan motor is dead, you may be able to replace both your fan motor and fan by ordering new parts according to your convection ovens make and model. If your convection-model Wolf oven does not get enough heat, or does not cook evenly for a prolonged period, it is possible that your fan is defective. Before performing any visual checks, remember to turn the oven off and unplug it from power source first.
