Common Oven Problems We Fix – Sultan Appliance Repair


Your oven is one of the most important appliances in your kitchen, and when it’s not working right, it can disrupt your entire day. At Sultan Appliance Repair, we specialize in diagnosing and repairing gas and electric ovens of all major brands. Below are some of the most common oven issues we fix for our local customers in Westchester County, Rockland County, and Fairfield County:


. Burner Keeps Clicking


If your gas stove burner keeps clicking without lighting, the issue may be:


• The burner cap is misaligned or off-center


• The igniter electrode is dirty or wet


• The spark module is malfunctioning


• The burner switch is faulty


We’ll inspect, clean, and repair the ignition system to get your burners working safely and properly again.


. Oven Not Heating Up


When your oven isn’t heating, the cause depends on whether it’s gas or electric:


• Gas ovens: A weak or faulty igniter, a bad thermostat, or a failed control board may be the issue.


• Electric ovens: The heating element could be burned out, or the control board might be faulty.


Tip: If your electric oven suddenly stops heating, check your home’s circuit breaker before calling for repair.


. Oven Smells Like Gas or Makes a Popping Sound


Smelling gas or hearing a loud pop when turning on your oven? This could be a delayed ignition due to a weak igniter, or your door hinges may be worn out, preventing a tight seal and allowing gas to escape. This is a serious safety issue — call us immediately for service.


. Oven Burning Food or Uneven Cooking


If your food is burning on one side or the temperature seems way off, the issue may be a defective temperature sensor, a faulty thermostat, or a broken bake/broil element. We’ll recalibrate or replace the necessary components to restore even, accurate cooking.


. Oven Door Not Closing Properly


A door that doesn’t close all the way can lead to heat escaping, longer cook times, and burned-out components. Common causes include:


• Worn door gasket


• Bent or broken door hinges


• Misaligned door frame


We’ll make sure your oven seals tightly again for safe and efficient operation.
