If you notice that food in the oven takes much longer to cook, and dishes cooked strictly according to the recipe are not ready. In most cases, these situations occur because the oven does not heat well and the temperature does not reach the value indicated on the knob.
Although an oven does not belong to the household appliances of increased complexity, but its repair is associated with a number of difficulties. Therefore, it is better to entrust the repair of electric ovens to specialists. But before scheduling an appointment, you need to make sure that the breakdown is really in the oven itself, but not associated with a lack of voltage in the electrical socket or mechanical damage in the socket or power cord.

A faulty temperature control sensor in the touch panel will lead to the same consequences as a broken mechanical power switch. But to fix something in the touch panel yourself is much more difficult – you will not be able to fix the issue without a special knowledge of the circuit diagram of the hob and special diagnostic equipment.
A faulty temperature sensor does not transmit temperature data to the control module, which of course shuts down the oven or the entire hob to prevent other parts of the hob from being damaged by overheating. It is worse when the sensor works, but not correctly, for example, because of stuck relay contacts: then overheating is quite possible, with all the unfortunate consequences that come with it. If you notice that the oven turns off quickly, or, moreover, if it clearly overheats, it is necessary to urgently call Chula Vista Appliance Repair Company and schedule an appointment for our technician who can figure out the causes of the problem.
