Most oven and stove faults are frustrating rather than dangerous, and can wait for a normal repair visit. A few are electrical warning signs you shouldn't ignore. Here's how to tell the difference.
Use the parts that still work if they're safe. We'll diagnose the fault and quote before any work starts.
Switch the oven off at its isolator or DB board and don't use it again until it's been checked. Don't open up electrical parts yourself.

Oven & stove care
A few simple habits help your oven cook evenly, last longer and show you early when something is starting to go wrong.
Baked-on grease smokes, smells and can damage the enamel. A quick wipe after cooling stops build-up.
Unless your manual allows it, foil on the base blocks airflow and can overheat the bottom element.
A torn or loose seal lets heat escape, so food cooks unevenly and the oven works harder.
Leaning on an open door or letting it slam wears the hinges, and a drooping door won't seal.
Remove trays as instructed and don't stop a pyrolytic cycle halfway, which stresses the door lock and controls.
New fan noises, uneven baking, a flickering display or the power tripping are reasons to book a check now.

Common faults like elements, thermostats, fan motors, selector switches and stove plates are usually much cheaper to repair than buying a new oven, especially for built-in ovens. If a repair wouldn't make sense because of the oven's age or parts availability, we'll tell you honestly in the quote.
We repair ovens and stoves across Johannesburg, Sandton, Randburg, Fourways, Roodepoort, Midrand, Centurion, Pretoria, Alberton, Edenvale, Germiston and nearby areas. Send us your suburb to confirm availability.
The usual causes are a burnt-out element, a faulty thermostat or temperature sensor, or a selector switch fault. First check the clock or timer: many Defy and Bosch ovens won't heat until it's set to manual mode. If that's fine, the oven needs testing to find the actual fault.
Most often it's an element leaking to earth or damaged wiring, which trips the earth leakage. Leave the oven switched off at its isolator until it's been checked. Don't keep resetting the breaker.
Yes. It's usually a failed plate, a faulty plate switch or a loose connection, and the plate or switch can normally be replaced on its own without replacing the whole stove.
We repair Defy, Bosch, Smeg, AEG, Siemens, Samsung, Whirlpool, Hisense and many other oven and stove brands, depending on the model and parts availability.
Yes. Burners that won't light, ignition clicking, flames going out and gas ovens are covered on our gas stove repairs page.
Switch the oven off at its isolator or DB board and stop using it. A burning-plastic or electrical smell, sparks from an element, or scorch marks mean an electrical fault that needs checking.
Don't open up electrical parts yourself. If there's smoke or fire, keep clear and call emergency services.
Yes. Completed repairs carry a 6-month parts and workmanship guarantee on the specific repair we did, subject to our guarantee terms.
