If your oven won’t heat or your hob has a dead burner, you don’t have to live with it. Our team in Bognor Regis can sort most problems in a single visit. We focus on getting your appliance back to normal fast, without hidden fees. Below you’ll find the most common faults, easy checks you can do yourself, and signs it’s time to call a professional.
Most electric ovens stop heating because of a faulty heating element, a blown fuse, or a bad thermostat. Before you pick up the phone, unplug the oven and look inside. If the element looks blackened or broken, that’s a clear sign it needs replacing. A blown fuse is easy to test with a multimeter – if you’re not comfortable, skip this step and let us handle it.
Another frequent issue is an uneven temperature. Often the oven’s temperature sensor is dirty or mis‑positioned. Give it a gentle clean with a damp cloth and make sure it sits where the manual says. If the oven still runs hot on one side, the sensor may need a new part.
Gas ovens have their own set of tricks. If the flame flickers or goes out, the igniter might be worn out. You can usually see a weak spark when you turn the oven on. A faulty igniter is best left to a qualified tech, because it involves gas connections.
Electric hobs suffer from cracked glass, loose burners, or dead elements. A quick visual check can tell you a lot. Look for any cracks in the glass surface – even tiny ones can let water seep in and damage the wiring. If a burner won’t light, try swapping it with another spot on the hob. If the new spot works, the problem is likely the burner itself, not the hob.
For gas hobs, the most common trouble is a clogged burner. Remove the burner cap and clear any food debris with a soft brush. If the flame still won’t stay lit, the ignition electrode may be dirty. Gently clean it with a fine‑grade sandpaper, but don’t scratch the metal.
When you’ve tried these checks and the appliance still won’t work, it’s time to call us. Our technicians know how to safely replace elements, fix wiring, and service gas connections. We carry common spare parts, so most repairs are done on the spot.
