People at all times loved a variety of pastries. Today, the role of a traditional furnace is played by electric or gas ovens. These devices, when properly installed and used, serve for many years. But even a good, expensive oven breaks down over time.
Types of Ovens
Ovens come in two types: gas and electric. Over the entire history of the existence of gas ovens, their equipment and principle of operation have not changed dramatically. Therefore, their main difference from each other is the volume, design and brand of the manufacturer. The difference between a gas and an electric oven is that a gas one heats food from two sides at most, since here the heating elements can be located only from above and below. Then, as a convector is supplied with electric ovens, it allows the supply and circulation of hot air occurs evenly.
Causes of gas oven malfunction
The main reason why the gas oven may not turn on is the gas cutoff. This happens, for example, if the gas services cut off the gas supply due to repairs in this area or an accident. It is enough to call the emergency service of gorgaz and find out if any repairs are being carried out.
The second type of failure - the temperature sensor may be faulty, so the oven does not heat up, or vice versa - it overheats. Usually, such a breakdown is eliminated by replacing the defective part. And it can be even simpler: either moisture got on the gas burner, as a result of which the spark dies out and the burner does not light up, or simply after installing the oven the gas supply valve to the oven stove was not opened. In the event that the gas oven stops working suddenly, it is necessary to check that the thermocouple may be out of order and therefore the electromagnetic valve does not allow gas to pass to the oven burner.
Causes of malfunction of the electric oven
If the electric oven has stopped working, the first reason is a power outage. Also, the switch from the stove to the oven may be faulty, the heating coil of the oven may have burned out. Another interesting factor, because of which the electric oven may not turn on, is not set up a timer. For some manufacturers of electric stoves and ovens, setting a timer is a prerequisite for the proper operation of the equipment. Just as when installing a new oven - you need to set the time, and when the power is suddenly turned off, and when the oven is turned on again - you must manually set the timer again.
And, finally, the most common causes of breakdowns of any ovens: breakdown of the oven fan, malfunction of electrical elements, such as buttons or wires, damage to the glass of ovens - mechanical or as a result of wear.
