Oven does not heat up

Issue

• The oven does not heat up
• The oven does not turn on
• Oven not working
• Oven not functioning

Applies to

• built-in ovens
• double ovens
• cookers

Resolution

First, check whether only one or more types of heating are not working.

1. Only one type of heating does not work:

Make sure the temperature is set if your oven didn't suggest a temperature. Select the desired temperature and function.

2. Several types of heating do not work:

• The oven display is blank / dark: check whether the fuse or RCD has tripped. If this is the case, refer to the article: Oven blows / trips fuses for further troubleshooting
• Check if the time is set if your appliance has a digital clock. A flashing oven clock (showing 00:00 or 12:00) indicates that the clock was not set after the appliance's installation, or that there was a power cut. To set the clock, refer to the articles: 
  • How to set an oven clock (AEG)
  • How to set an oven clock (Electrolux)
  • How to set an oven clock (Zanussi)
• Check whether the Duration and End function has been set. Refer to the appliance user manual
• The demo mode is activated (depending on the model) and this is shown on the display. The oven displays "Demo" or "d". Refer to the articles: 
  • After a short power failure, Demo appears in the display and my oven will not heat up - Zanussi
  • After a short power failure, Demo appears in the display and my oven will not heat up - AEG
• The Child Lock is activated (depending on the model). Refer to the articles: 
  • AEG oven displays SAFE or padlock symbol
  • Zanussi oven displays LOC, SAFE or padlock symbol
