Oven Not Heating Up
Failed Element or Thermostat
If the element no longer glows orange, it has likely snapped after years of heating and cooling. A faulty thermostat causes inaccurate temperatures or no heat at all. Element replacement £85–£120. Thermostat £90–£130.
Fan Motor or Door Seal
A seized fan motor causes uneven cooking — burnt edges, raw centres — even though the element still heats. Replacement typically £110–£160. A worn door seal lets heat escape, making the oven struggle to reach temperature. Seal replacement £75–£95.
Control Board and When to Call
Control board faults are the most expensive common repair at £150–£220, but still cheaper than replacing a built-in oven worth £400–£800. If basic checks do not solve it, call a local oven engineer for same-day diagnosis.
