Accurate diagnosis is the most important part of the repair process when one is faced with a malfunctioning electric stove. The reason for this is simple: if the true underlying cause of your stove’s malfunction remains a mystery, it is virtually impossible to apply an effective repair solution.
While a layperson may be able to make educated guesses as to the source of the issues, it’s best to leave the official diagnosis to a professional. Think of it this way: you could have the mailman diagnose you with the flu, but isn’t it a better idea to let a doctor do it? Trust your appliance to the people with the tools, techniques, education, and experience to accurately diagnose your troubled unit.
Common Electric Stove Maladies
Here is a list of common electric stove issues and their possible causes:
- Coils are not heating up: This problem could be caused by a faulty internal ignition switch, a loose connection, or a foreign object blocking a vital connection. Connection issues could be the result of something heavy being dropped on the stove top, or something very cold being placed on a hot coil.
- Sparks: There may be loose wires and connections, or coil damage created by excess weight or extreme temperatures. You may also be using a coil that is incompatible with your unit’s make or model.
- Lights not turning in tandem with burners: This issue may be caused by a faulty control switch within the unit.
- Can’t adjust temperature: This problem can often be traced to a faulty internal ignition switch.
The team at All Brands Appliance Repair has all the qualifications to accurately and swiftly diagnose the source of any and all electric stove issues. Don’t hesitate to call in a professional if you’re experiencing an issue listed above, or if you are in any other way unhappy with your stove’s performance.
