All ovens need a consistent power supply to heat properly. Without adequate electricity flow, the heating elements or gas igniters won’t be able to function, leaving your oven completely cold. To diagnose a power supply issue, you’ll need to check the outlet, the circuit breaker, and the power cord to ensure everything is functioning properly.
To fix:
Once you’ve verified that the power supply is working correctly, it’s time to check the heating elements. The heating elements work by converting electrical energy into heat energy. If they’re faulty, your Whirlpool oven won’t be able to reach its set temperature, affecting the heating process.
If the heating elements are the cause of your problems, other parts of your oven such as the burners and the clock display will still be working as normal. You might notice when you use the oven that it’s either not heating at all, or heating very unevenly. Here’s how to fix the problem:
In electric ovens, the thermal fuse prevents the oven from overheating by cutting power if the temperature gets too high. If the thermal fuse has blown, the oven won’t heat at all, as this will interrupt power flow to the oven’s heating elements. If your oven suddenly stops working out of nowhere, the thermal fuse could be the culprit. Here’s how to fix it.
The temperature sensor monitors the internal temperature of the oven and sends signals to the control board to adjust the temperature. An issue with the sensor can cause both underheating and overheating, as the sensor may incorrectly sense that the oven is either too hot or too cold.
To fix this:
Please note: Some of these fixes require a degree of experience with electrical DIY. If you don’t feel comfortable working with wiring or electricity, always call in a professional. It’s better to be safe than sorry!
