Intro to Oven Ranges: Do You Need an Electrician?

A central piece to any kitchen is a workable oven. So when it stops working, and your kitchen grinds to a halt, addressing any electrical issues with your oven is of the utmost importance. 

At Santella Electric, we specialize in diagnosing and resolving those pesky electrical issues. Below, we’ll explore some of the most common issues we’ve found over the years of fixing electrical issues surrounding faulty ovens, how to troubleshoot these specific problems, as well as the type of professional help Santella can provide to get your issues resolved and your kitchen functioning properly again.

Common Reasons Your Oven Isn’t Working

When dealing with an inoperable electrical oven, there are a few common reasons that emerge above the rest:

Blown Fuse

Blown fuses are a common issue that will cut off the power supply, which would render your oven inoperable. Between the thermal fuse on the oven preventing over temperatures and the breaker box fuses for overcurrents, these are important safety features that will shutdown your oven when an issue occurs. 

Having a professional investigate/fix these issues is the best way to get your oven back on its feet.

Weak Outlets

Ovens require a decent amount of voltage to power the heating elements and numerous sensors. As such, having an outlet that can safely output enough voltage is hugely important. For upgrading an outlet to support an electric oven, the professionals at Santella Electric can make quick work.

Burnt Wires

Burnt wires/any damage to the wires around your oven outlet or going towards your oven can be a major issue and definitely affect oven performance. These wire issues can either be a greater electrical problem or more of an oven specific problem. When an outlet is faulty or a connection to a circuit breaker isn’t ideal, Santella is a great call to get that cleaned up. 

Internal Control Board Damage

Sometimes when your oven isn’t working, there is simply just something wrong inside. Equipped with a complex circuit board and loads of sensors, sometimes the issue is oven-specific. In these instances, contacting a service professional for your oven brand is going to be the best way to get results. 

Why You Should Always Call a Professional

When dealing with electrical issues, no matter the specifics, contacting a professional is always the right call. Manipulating electricity can be a dangerous act for you and your house; bringing in experts like those at Santella Electric is the best way to safely get the results you want. Here is what a professional can bring to the table:

Expert Knowledge and Training

With training and years of knowledge in the field, licensed electricians are well equipped to diagnose and safely fix many electrical issues you’ll encounter with your oven. 

Safety Assurance

Electrical work can be dangerous, especially when done incorrectly by inexperienced hands. Save yourself from getting a dangerous shock by bringing in a professional who knows how to safely diagnose and fix the issue.

Real, Long-Term Fixes

Sometimes, a quick electrical fix to get the oven on doesn’t actually address the issue at-hand. When bringing in a professional, you can be sure the real issue has been found and a real, long-term fix can be put in place.

By the Books

A professional electrician will also bring knowledge surrounding local building codes and safety regulations. This ultimately results in a better, safer fix that will reduce dangers like fire risk or chance for shocks.
