Oven repair for Riverview and Gibsonton homes

Most ovens in homes built since 2000 have electronic controls, a temperature sensor on the back wall and a hidden bake element under the floor. When the oven will not reach temperature, the sensor, the element or a relay on the control board is a common cause. Self-clean error codes usually involve the door lock or overheating after a cooling fan fails. Convection wall ovens add a fan and element to test.

Gas ovens fail most often at the igniter. If it glows orange but the oven never lights, the igniter is too weak to open the gas valve. A builder wall oven can also have a loose connection at the junction box behind it, which gets checked while the unit is out.

Make sure the oven is not in lock or Sabbath mode, and try a breaker reset for a frozen display. Much of Gibsonton lies in evacuation Zone A; if storm water reached the oven, do not power it on until it is inspected, since wet controls and gas valves are a safety issue. If you smell gas, turn it off and call your provider. The technician quotes before starting.
