Common Oven Problems and How Glotech Repairs Can Help

Ovens are essential in every kitchen, but like all appliances, they can develop faults over time. Knowing the most frequent issues and what to check can save stress—and help prevent minor problems from becoming costly repairs. At Glotech Repairs, we’ve spent over 50 years helping homes across the UK get their ovens back to full working order quickly and reliably.

Common Oven Issues

1. Oven won’t heat
If your oven powers on but doesn’t reach temperature, the problem could be a faulty heating element, thermostat, or control board. Simple checks include ensuring the oven is plugged in correctly and the temperature is set properly.

2. Uneven cooking or baking
Hot and cold spots in the oven often indicate a failing element or faulty thermostat. Regular cleaning and checking the fan on fan-assisted models can improve performance.

3. Oven door won’t close or latch properly
A door that won’t seal correctly can prevent the oven from heating and affect cooking times. Inspect the hinges and latch for damage, but if the problem persists, an engineer may be needed.

4. Oven displays error codes
Modern ovens show codes to indicate specific faults. Examples include:

• F1 / E1 – Control board fault
• F3 / E3 – Temperature sensor or probe issue
• F5 / E5 – Door lock fault
• F7 / E7 – Heating element failure

5. Oven making unusual noises
Buzzing, humming, or clicking sounds can be caused by faulty fans, worn components, or loose parts inside the oven.

Quick Checks You Can Try

• Ensure the oven is properly plugged in and the power supply is working.
• Check that the temperature settings and timer are correct.
• Clean the oven regularly to prevent buildup on elements or fans.
• Inspect the door seal and hinges for obvious damage.

If these steps don’t resolve the issue, booking one of our qualified engineers is the quickest way to restore safe and efficient operation.
