A malfunctioning range can quickly disrupt your daily routine, leaving you with undercooked dinners and frustration. Whether you have a gas or electric range, identifying the root cause of the problem is the first step toward getting it back in working order. Here’s a look at some common range issues and simple troubleshooting steps you can try before calling for professional help.

Common Range Issues

• Burners Not Heating
  If one or more burners aren’t heating properly, it could be due to a faulty burner coil, a malfunctioning ignition switch (for gas ranges), or an issue with the power supply.
• Oven Not Heating
  This could indicate a problem with the heating element, thermostat, or oven control board. In gas ovens, check if the pilot light is working.
• Error Codes or Display Problems
  Modern electric ranges often feature digital displays, which may show error codes when something’s wrong. Refer to the manual for your appliance’s error code list to identify the issue.
• Uneven Heating or Hot Spots
  If your oven or stovetop is heating unevenly, it might be due to a broken element, worn-out burner, or issues with the oven’s temperature sensor.
• Stove or Oven Making Strange Noises
  Unusual sounds, such as popping or buzzing, can indicate problems with the ignition system, a malfunctioning burner, or loose components inside the stove.

What You Can Do

• Check the power supply for any issues like tripped circuit breakers or loose connections.
• Clean the burners and heating elements to remove any debris that could block heat.
• Test your appliance’s components by consulting your user manual to identify possible troubleshooting steps.
