Oven Not Heating
An oven that won't heat typically has a failed bake element or igniter, a bad temperature sensor, a tripped thermal fuse or a faulty control board or relay. Gas ovens with a glowing but weak igniter will not open the gas valve. Do not attempt igniter or gas repairs yourself.
If you smell gas: do not operate switches or appliances, leave the home, and call your gas utility or 911 from outside before contacting us. If you see smoke, sparking, fire or a burning electrical smell: turn off the appliance at the breaker if you can do so safely, and call 911 if there is any flame. Do not touch exposed wiring. Turn the circuit off at the breaker and keep everyone away until a professional arrives.
Once everyone is safe, we're ready to help.
