Just like any other unit in your kitchen, it’s common for the oven to develop problems. According to commercial oven repair professionals, your oven can have many problems including:

Inability of the gas oven to light

A gas oven is loved by many people for its rapid on-off time. Unfortunately, it tends to develop ignition problems. When the igniter is working properly you will hear it click a few times before the gas gets ignited. When the igniter has problems you will hear a few clicks and then the sound stops entirely. If your unit is behaving this way, you should turn off the gas to avoid catastrophic gas leaks.

In some cases, the gas oven may have delayed ignition that is brought about by blocked ignition ports. Whether the ignition isn’t working entirely or you are experiencing delayed ignition you should hire a commercial appliances service provider to inspect the unit.

Electric oven doesn’t heat

Your electric oven won’t heat if the fuse has blown. If the fuse is intact, you should check the circuit breakers and test them. If there is power to the oven but it still doesn’t heat, you should inspect the heating elements for damage. All you need to do is turn on the oven and wait for the element to glow. A telltale sign that the element is damaged is the failure of one-half of the element to glow.

In some cases, the oven will heat but it doesn’t heat evenly. This is a sign that the heating element is burnt out. Here the element is burnt out on one side affecting one corner of the oven. You can easily replace the element but if you aren’t sure where the problem is, ask a commercial repair professional to have a look at the oven.

Gas odor in the gas oven

If you can smell gas when the oven is in use, it means that there is something wrong. The most common cause of this problem is defective gas valves. The valves might have opened up too soon thus failing to allow the gas ignition to reach the right temperature. This lack of synchrony may result to gas leaks. The odor may also come about due to damaged gas valves. The valves might have got old or a hole might be present.

A gas leak is a serious issue and should be fixed as soon as possible by a commercial kitchen appliance repairs Falls Church.
