Appliances:

Before you can begin cooking gourmet delights for your family; you need to make sure that you have a fully functional cooker.

Three of the most common faults which you’re likely to find with your cooker are:

  1. The cooker isn’t getting hot – if your cooker isn’t getting hot there are a few common components which you should check.The first is the oven temperature indicator, if this is lit than the fault it likely to lie with either an element or thermal cut out.To check these parts use a multimetre to check for resistance, and look for signs of damage. Should faults be spotted, replace the part.
  2. Heat keeps escaping from the cooker – the main reason for heat escaping from your oven is because wear and tear has taken its toll on the door seal. Replacing a door seal on your cooker is an easy and cheap fault to fix.
  3. A hob ring isn’t working – the most common fault you’ll find with your hob. The reason is usually associated with a fault with the ring open circuit or selector switch.
