Common Reasons Your Oven Isn’t Heating Up (and What to Do About It)

When your oven stops heating up, it can quickly derail dinner plans. Whether it won’t turn on at all or just isn’t getting hot enough, this issue usually points to a problem with one or more internal components. Here are the most common causes:

1. Faulty Igniter (Gas Oven)

If you have a gas oven and it’s not heating, the igniter is likely to blame. It’s responsible for

lighting the gas. If it’s weak or damaged, your oven won’t heat properly.

2. Broken Bake Element (Electric Oven)

In electric ovens, the bake element is the heating coil at the bottom. If it’s not glowing red when turned on, it might be burnt out and needs replacing.

3. Malfunctioning Thermostat or Temperature Sensor

Your oven depends on its thermostat or sensor to regulate temperature. If either one is off, your oven may underheat, overheat, or stop heating entirely.

4. Tripped Circuit Breaker or Blown Fuse

If your oven has no power at all, check the breaker box first. A tripped breaker or blown fuse

might be cutting off electricity to the unit.

5. Control Board Problems

The electronic control board manages many oven functions. If it fails, you might not get any heat despite everything else working.

What You Can Do:

• Check power or gas supply

• Try resetting your oven

• Test or visually inspect the igniter or heating element
