While you rely on your stove and oven every day, when it functions poorly, it can be a major inconvenience. Often, you’ll find clear signs that it’s time to call a repair professional. Acting quickly will limit the frustration and also ensure outstanding issues with the appliance don’t escalate.

When to Schedule Stove and Oven Repair Services

1. Odd Smells and Noises

It’s normal for ovens to generate some subtle noise. Clicking, grating, and buzzing sounds, however, are cause for concern. They often mean there are loose parts or faulty electrical connections inside that are affecting performance. Odd smells should also be a concern, especially with a gas stove. If you notice a rotten egg smell, it could mean there’s a gas leak, and you should exit your home immediately until professionals arrive.

2. Undercooked or Burnt Food

If your food is regularly undercooked or burnt, it means there’s an issue with the stove’s thermostat. Without ample heat or with too much heat, food won’t cook evenly. A professional can test the thermostat to see why it’s not properly regulating heat. Often, it’s an electrical issue, and the component may need to be replaced.

3. Inconsistent Burners

Burners may work intermittently or not at all if there are loose connections in the unit. You’ll first notice that they take longer to heat up, or in the case of a gas stove, aren’t igniting at all. Problems are often related to not cleaning the burners. Once cooled, wipe them down after every use to ensure food debris doesn’t spill inside and build up on connections.
