It’s coming to that time of the year again where the days get darker and colder and our appetite for warm filling food like roasts, bakes and other oven prepared sustenance increases. You may have used your oven over the summer intermittently but it is through the colder darker months that we tend to see an increase in oven usage. We have been providing oven repairs Stockport for a number of years and tend to witness an increase in repair requests around this time of year. Many ovens have been out of action for a few months and when reused, people are discovering faults which are stopping the machine from functioning.

The most common call outs we receive for oven repairs Stockport include:

Oven not heating up

This is probably one of the most common oven faults that we come across and is nearly always down to an issue with the heating element. Heating elements work by turning electrical energy into heat. The material that makes up the heating element has to be able to resist to the electrical current flowing through it, as this resistance is what produces heat. Over time, heating elements can burn out or crack which causes a break in the circuit. If a major crack develops and the electro-circuit is broken the element will no longer heat. If your oven is not heating, call Village Domestic Supplies for quality oven repairs Stockport.  

Takes long to heat

Heat loss from an oven that takes too long to heat but has a perfectly working heating element is usually down to escaped heat which is not building up enough to effectively cook food. Through our years of providing quality oven repairs Stockport, the most common cause of escaped heat is down to faulty door seals which over time can become torn, worn or loose their magnetic ability to stick. Here at Village Domestic Supplies, our repair service is so extensive, we can replace your oven’s door seals no matter the size or model.

Oven won’t turn on

When an oven fails to turn on completely, the problem is much deeper than perhaps a faulty heating element. When an oven is not turning on, the main reason is a blown fuse which can be caused by an electrical surge to the appliance. Unfortunately changing a fuse on an oven is a lot more complicated than replacing one on a freestanding appliance and requires the attention of a professional appliance repairs engineer such as John or James at Village Domestic Supplies. Our repairs team have undertaken hundreds of oven repairs Stockport and are fully experienced in safe fuse installation in all ovens.

The fan doesn't work

The fan element of an oven is usually very prone to causing problems especially if an oven is not cleaned or maintained over the years. There are usually two reasons as to why the fan element may not be working. Failure of the motor unit is usually a popular reason as to why a fan may be not spinning and you may need to call a repairs engineer specialising in oven repairs Stockport. Secondly, it may be that the fan is not spinning because it is clogged up with gunk and grease from years of cooking and needs to be taken out and cleaned. Regardless of why the fan isn’t working, taking it out should be left to a professional who can safely disconnect the appliance from the mains before going to work.
