Same-Day Oven Repairs Perth

Determining whether it’s worth repairing an electric oven depends on several factors:

The extent of the damage: Evaluate the severity of the problem. If it’s a minor issue, such as a faulty heating element or a broken door seal, it might be cost-effective to repair it. However, if there are major issues with critical components like the control panel or wiring, the cost of repairs could be substantial and they may not be worth doing.

Age of the oven: If it’s a relatively new oven and still under warranty, it’s generally better to have it repaired. But, if the oven is significantly old and/or nearing the end of its expected lifespan, investing in repairs might not be worth it.

Cost of repairs: For this, you will need to obtain a repair estimate from a qualified technician. Don’t hesitate to contact us for expert assistance that you can rely on.

With the cost of repairs in hand, compare them with the price of a new oven. If the repairs are excessively expensive (generally +50% of the price of a new oven) it might be best to purchase a new one.

Overall condition: Evaluate the overall condition of the oven. If it has a history of frequent breakdowns or if other components are showing signs of wear and tear, repairing it may not be worth it as it would only provide a temporary solution.

In such cases, replacing the oven could be a better long-term investment.

As you can see, the decision to repair or replace an electric oven depends on a combination of these factors and your individual circumstances.

It’s often helpful to call a professional technician who can assess the appliance and provide a recommendation based on their expertise.

As a general guideline, electric and gas ovens are expected to last between 10 to 15 years on average.

However, the lifespan of an oven can vary depending on several factors, including the brand, model, usage, maintenance, and overall quality.

Still, with good care and prompt repairs, some ovens can even exceed this range and last for 20 years or more.

Individual circumstances and usage patterns influence the lifespan of an oven, though. For example, an oven that is heavily used or subjected to harsh conditions may experience more wear and tear and have a shorter lifespan.

Regular cleaning, avoiding excessive heat, and following the manufacturer’s guidelines for usage and maintenance help extend its lifespan.

Additionally, addressing any issues or malfunctions promptly and having routine maintenance performed by a qualified technician can add years to your oven as well.

But if your oven is nearing or past its expected lifespan, and if it is experiencing frequent breakdowns or significant issues, it might be a good idea to consider replacing it or seeking professional advice to assess its condition.

Our experts have identified several potential reasons that cause an oven to not heat up properly or fail to heat at all:

Heating element issues: In electric ovens, the heating element is responsible for generating heat. If the heating element is faulty or burned out, the oven may not heat up.

It’s worth checking if the heating element is visibly damaged or if there are signs of wear. A defective heating element would typically require replacement.

Igniter problems: Gas ovens use an igniter to ignite the gas and create heat. If the igniter is faulty, worn out, or not receiving power, it may fail to ignite the gas and prevent the oven from heating up. A malfunctioning igniter might need to be replaced.

Temperature sensor malfunction: Ovens have temperature sensors that monitor and regulate the internal temperature.

If the temperature sensor is defective or out of calibration, it can cause inaccurate temperature readings or prevent the oven from heating up properly. A faulty temperature sensor may require replacement.

Control board issues: The control board, also known as the electronic control module or clock/timer, regulates various oven functions, including heat control.

If the control board is damaged, malfunctioning, or experiencing electrical issues, it can affect the oven’s ability to heat up. In such cases, repairing or replacing the control board may be necessary.

Wiring problems: Faulty or damaged wiring within the oven can disrupt the flow of electricity and prevent proper heating.

It’s essential to inspect the wiring connections, power supply, and circuit breaker to ensure there are no loose connections, damaged wires, or tripped breakers.

If your oven is not heating up and you can’t find answers in the manual, call a qualified appliance technician for troubleshooting assistance.

We can help diagnose the specific issue and guide you in the appropriate steps to resolve the problem.

If your oven stops working, our technicians recommend checking the following:

Check the power supply: Ensure that the oven is properly plugged into the electrical outlet and that the outlet is functioning.

Try plugging in another appliance to verify if the outlet is providing power. If necessary, check the circuit breaker or fuse box to see if a breaker has tripped or a fuse has blown.

Verify the oven controls: Make sure the oven controls are set correctly. Double-check that the oven is not in self-cleaning mode or that any safety features are not engaged, which may prevent the oven from operating.

Consult your oven’s manual for specific instructions on operating the controls.

Inspect the heating elements: For electric ovens, visually inspect the heating elements to see if they are intact and not visibly damaged.

If a heating element appears broken, cracked, or discoloured, it may need to be replaced.

Test the igniter (for gas ovens): In gas ovens, the igniter is responsible for igniting the gas and creating heat.

If the oven is not heating, the igniter might be faulty. Check if the igniter is glowing when the oven is turned on. If it doesn’t glow or if it takes an extended period to ignite, it may need to be replaced.

Check for error codes or error messages: Some ovens have error code displays or error messages that can provide insight into the specific issue.

Refer to your oven’s manual to understand the meaning of any error codes or messages and follow the recommended troubleshooting steps.

Inspect for visible damage or loose connections: Examine the oven’s internal components, such as wires, fuses, and connectors, for any visible damage or loose connections.

If you find any issues, it’s advisable to have a qualified technician repair or replace the affected parts.

If none of these steps resolves the issue, or if you are unsure about performing any troubleshooting yourself, call a professional oven technician.

We can diagnose the issue, bring the replacement parts needed and install them safely, to ensure the safe operation of your oven.
