If your oven isn’t heating up it’s likely that you have a faulty oven element. A common reason for this is that oven element burning has occurred. Due to the hot temperatures within the oven cavity, it isn’t unusual for it to burn out while enduring the high temperatures.
Without a fully functioning oven element, your oven will be unable to heat up and this means your oven is useless for cooking! So here’s some advice on what you need to do.
How can I tell if my oven element has burned out?
If your oven element has burned out the appearance of it is often a clear indication. It may bright spots and/or patches that look like it has been burned.

Fan assisted ovens have grown in popularity, and they've now become the first choice when selecting a new oven. The increase in popularity is mostly down to the speed and performance of fan ovens. Fan assisted ovens cost a little more in comparison to conventional cookers, however people are more persuaded to pay that little extra cash for a more efficient and even cooking process.
Even though fan ovens are efficient, they aren't prone to faults. If you've had your fan oven for a number of years, it's possible that it may become faulty. Now this isn't a general rule, and your fan oven may be performing faultlessly; however, if your cooker is starting to become faulty, we can help!

Another part that could be linked to your oven's heating issues is its thermostat. An oven thermostat is the part that measures the temperature of your oven, and will inform your oven to stop heating up once it has reached the temperature you set it to, and will inform it to heat back up if it drops from that temperature. If your oven's thermostat stops working efficiently, and becomes faulty, your oven's temperature will no longer be regulated, and you may find that it will begin to over or underheat. Thankfully, if your oven thermostat has stopped working, we have a large selection of thermostats that will ensure the temperature in your oven is regulated once again! To view our range of

Gas ovens are becoming a somewhat uncommon sight in British kitchens, but gas oven problems still occur. Electric cookers - though more expensive to run - are simpler to install, easier to clean, and better at cooking food evenly than their gas-powered counterparts, and so it's not too difficult to see why a lot of people are opting for electric appliances nowadays.
That being said, there are still plenty of gas ovens in use, and if you're reading this, you may well have one in your own home.
Unfortunately, there are quite a few gas oven (or any kind of oven, for that matter) problems that could occur while you own one. We're here today to help you work out what's wrong with your gas appliance and, hopefully, get it working again!
Gas oven problems - what's the matter with it?
For specific information on your gas oven problem and how to solve it, choose the scenario that most closely resembles the issue you're experiencing:
- There's no gas reaching the oven when I switch it on. This indicates that you probably have a problem with your gas supply. Check your meter - is it in the 'ON' position? Are you up to date on your utility bill payments? If the answer to both of those questions is 'yes', you should contact the 24hr gas emergency service immediately as there may be a leak. The number to call is 0800 111 999.
- The oven isn't heating up. This problem may occur because your ignition generator isn't working - i.e. gas is flowing into the oven, but the component that ignites the flammable gas isn't doing its job and may need replacing. Alternatively, there may be a problem with the oven burner itself - if this is the case, you can buy a replacement burner here.
- The oven heats up, but the temperature is wrong. If your gas oven frequently over- or under-cooks your food, it may be because your oven thermostat (the part that tells the burner when to heat up and when to cool down) is faulty or not calibrated properly. Of course, it could be something far simpler - for instance, if your oven's door seal is broken, heat may be escaping from the oven cavity and forcing you to leave your food in for longer.

IMPORTANT: You should not conduct any work on a gas oven (or any gas appliance) unless you are a member of the Gas Safe Register. Gas appliances can be dangerous, and only qualified personnel should attempt to service them.
A selector switch (or function switch as it is sometimes referred to) may be small, but is a very important part. It is situated just behind your control knob and it is the component that allows you to switch between various functions - such as the grill, fan heating, etc.It is a primary component for your cooker and therefore it's vitally important that you replace it as soon as it begins to become faulty or if the spindle has snapped off with the control knob.
Here at
Cooker Spare Parts we have a terrific selection of
Oven Selector Switches but because they come in a whole variety of shapes and sizes, we strongly recommend that you check that the selector you wish to purchase is compatible with your appliance. You can do this by selecting the manufacturer and model number of your appliance in to the search filters. You will then be provided with a list of spare parts that are compatible with your appliance.
If you're unsure how to fit your oven selector switch, please follow this step-by-step guide.
How to fit an oven selector switch
Safety notice: Please ensure your cooker is switched off before beginning any work.
- If your cooker is built-in, you'll need to remove it from it's cavity. To do this, remove the screws that are holding it to the cabinet. These are situated on the front of your oven. You can then lift out the oven, and disconnect the power cable from the back of your cooker.
- Next, you'll need to remove the top panel of your cooker. Again, this is held together by four screws. These screws may require a torque head screwdriver to be removed.
- Next, remove the control knob attached to the selector switch (if it is still attached to your selector switch). This can be pulled off easily.
- Now that you can access the selector switch, you can begin to remove it. It's held in place by two torque head screws that are situated at the front of the switch, you'll need to remove them.
- Now it's time to remove the complicated wiring. Before you do anything, we strongly recommend you take a photo of the of the switch with the wires attached, so you can re-wire it in the correct way.
- To fit your new switch, just do the opposite of what you just did. Fitting the switch to the front of your cooker, and then wiring the switch in the correct way.
- Then, all you need to do is attach the top panel and if your cooker is built in, fit it back inside your cavity.
