My Oven Stops While Cooking?

Your stoves sparker is not working is a problem that you can spot pretty easily without consulting a professional. An oven that is not warming up is often a result of either the igniter being bad (for gas stoves) or the heating elements being bad (for electric stoves). If your ranges burners are turning on, but your oven is not warming up, a clogged or malfunctioning igniter may be to blame.

If your gas stove is not heating up properly (or at all), first check the igniter. If the oven is not heating any more, check Thermostat and Selector Switch. If your oven is still not heating properly, you can check the gauges using an ohmmeter. When you flip on a switch, the thermostat decides if the oven needs to be heated or cooled.

If the cooling fan does not activate, the thermostat and the control panel tells the control panel to shut down the oven. If that happens, then the thermostat may continuously be asking for more heat, even if the oven is turned off. When the temperature gets low enough, a thermometer inside the oven would detect it and tell the control board to switch back the heating elements on so that they can get it back to a good temperature.

If you have checked to make sure that the heating element is working correctly, there is a chance your electronic controls controlling your ovens temperature are not reading a temperature drop as a problem. In all honesty, the faulty thermostat or heating elements in your oven are the most likely culprits for why your oven is unable to keep a consistent temperature.

If a sensor or thermostat is defective, the oven might simply fail to light up. If you have installed a new element, but the oven is not working anymore, it is possible that there is an electrical problem. If nothing changes after installing the new element, then a wiring problem could be why the oven does not work.

If the oven is turning off unexpectedly while trying to heat, a new circuit breaker may be needed. The built-in circuit breakers on some modern ovens will trip, which can occasionally cause your oven to shut down. Typically, when the switch is on, the only way to prevent your oven from warming up is to disconnect the power cord, or to shut off power at your electric box (breaker box). Most modern stoves that have a thermostat trip and shut down if the ventilation is inadequate.

A malfunctioning thermostat could be the reason why the oven turns off too early. Many electric furnaces actually have more than one thermostat, but if a primary thermostat or a sensor fails, then your furnace will simply continue heating until the safety thermostat kicks in. If your oven is not heating up correctly, but your range is working fine, this could be a sign you have a bad thermostat. If the stove is working just fine, but your oven is not heating up, it means the bake and broil elements are working, but you might have an inside fuse box that is blowing.

A thermal fuse that has been blown shuts down power to the oven, and it is what is making the oven malfunction. When the oven is not able to vent with enough air, it is going to get too hot, which causes these safety features to activate and turn the entire oven off. Typically, your oven will self-turn off because it has blocked the ventilation system, has an issue with its temperature probe, or has damaged the heating elements.

If an ovens sensor is not working, this can result in uneven cooking temperatures, that is, burned-out food. Reach can be caused by either the temperature sensor being defective, or by the temperature sensor touching the wall of the oven. If a sensor is accidentally knocked while cooking or cleaning, and is now touching the oven wall, this will result in an uneven cooking temp. When the temp sensor senses the temperature is too low, the thermostat turns on more baking elements until the oven is warm enough.

Always disconnect power and gas connections before moving your oven, or before removing any of its panels, in order to change the defective temp sensor. The only way to repair it is to replace the malfunctioning heating element, so make sure you call in a professional electrician who repairs electric ovens to have them look at it for you. As long as your oven is beyond its warranty, you should not let this repair scare you: You do not have to be an electrician to replace a heating element. Your element may have been damaged in many ways, but if your oven is simply not working, and your heating element is to blame, then the problem is probably due to leakage faults or a problem with your electrical wiring.

If you have had your oven for several years, it may be that components in the control board stopped working properly, which leads to a number of problems including the oven turning off on its own without any reason. Another common issue that could be causing your oven to simply stop is ventilation, some people wrongly assume that since an oven is powered by electricity rather than gas, that it does not need any ventilation. If both your gas oven and your gas burner stopped working, then it is most likely that your gas lines are faulty, which would require a professional to fix.

Your stoves gas line may be partially blocked with debris, causing the flow of gas into the gas oven to become interrupted. Keeping the vent free from debris can help prevent the furnace from turning off needlessly. Sometimes, your broiler or baking supply may be burning, affecting your electric ovens circuitry.

The best way to tell if that is an issue is with a multimeter, which we discuss below, but you can also open your oven and see if the oven lights flash.
