Electric oven — symptoms, diagnosis and maintenance
An oven operates at high temperature and mains voltage. Users can check settings, supply and visible dirt, but heater and electronics measurements belong to a technician.
Safety rule: stop when there is smoke, sparking, a burning smell, electric-shock signs, an active leak, cracked hob glass or suspected gas. Disconnect only when it is safe to do so.
Common symptoms
What to check before reporting
- Selected mode, temperature and delayed start
- Door seal and closure
- Food-residue smoke versus a fault
Maintenance
Remove grease regularly and never block ventilation openings.
Use the frequency stated in the specific model manual. Heavy use may require more frequent maintenance.
