Oven & Stove Repairs
Electric ovens, freestanding stoves, built-in units and hobs. From an oven that won’t heat to a plate that trips the electricity, we trace the fault safely and repair it.
About this service
How we approach oven and stove repairs
Electric cooking appliances are built around heating elements — bake, grill and fan elements in the oven, and plates or radiant elements on the hob — controlled by thermostats, selector switches, plate controls (simmerstats) and, on newer models, electronic timers and boards.
Because stoves draw a lot of current, faults can show up as tripping. A common cause is an element that has let in moisture or broken down, which leaks current to earth. We isolate the appliance, test each circuit and find the one at fault.
This service covers electric appliances. Gas appliances should be worked on by a registered gas practitioner.

Common problems
Oven and stove faults we see most often
The symptom points us in the right direction — testing confirms the cause.
- 01
Oven not heating
A failed bake or fan element, thermostat, selector switch or thermal cut-out.
- 02
Uneven baking or wrong temperature
A thermostat out of calibration, a fan motor fault, a partly failed element or a worn door seal.
- 03
Plate not working or stuck on high
A burnt-out plate or element, or a faulty plate control switch.
- 04
Tripping the electricity
An element leaking current to earth, or damaged wiring. Switch off at the isolator and don’t keep resetting it.
- 05
Fan oven noisy or not turning
Worn fan-motor bearings or a failed motor.
- 06
Oven won’t start — clock flashing
Many ovens with electronic timers won’t heat until the clock is set or manual mode is selected.
If your stove or oven trips the electricity, stop using it and switch it off at the isolator until it has been checked. If a glass or ceramic hob is cracked, don’t use it.

FAQ
Oven and stove repairs: your questions answered
Still unsure? Send us the details or a WhatsApp with a photo of the problem.
On many ovens with electronic timers, the oven won’t heat until the clock has been set or manual mode selected — especially after a power cut. If that isn’t it, an element, thermostat or switch has probably failed.
No. Tripping is a safety device doing its job. Switch the stove off at the isolator and have it checked.
The glass top can often be replaced, depending on the model and parts availability. Don’t use a cracked hob in the meantime.
