These simple checks take a couple of minutes and could save you a call-out — or help our engineer diagnose the fault faster if you do book a repair.
Check The Circuit Breaker / Fuse
An oven that won't power on at all may simply have tripped a circuit breaker or blown a fuse — check your consumer unit before assuming the oven itself has failed.
Check The Clock / Timer Setting
Many ovens won't heat if the clock or timer has been left in a delay or auto-cook setting. Check the display isn't showing a timer symbol and reset the clock if needed.
Check The Door Is Closing Fully
A door that isn't closing properly — due to a worn seal or something trapped in it — can stop the oven heating correctly or cause uneven cooking.
Check For Visible Element Damage
If you can see the heating element, check for any obvious scorch marks, blistering or a visible break — a clear sign it needs replacing.
