A noisy oven can be a major annoyance for any homeowner, particularly if you spend a lot of time cooking or hanging out in the kitchen.

However, a riotous racket from your cooker could be an indication of something far worse than just audio irritation.

If your oven is turning your kitchen into a clamorous karaoke of cooker noises, don’t chalk it up to being “one of those things” – it’s likely a sign that your oven is need of some overdue TLC.

Investigating a Noisy Oven

In addition to ruining the kitchen ambience with its dinnertime din, a loud cooker can also raise serious alarm bells over the health of your appliance.

A noisy oven can be a tell-tale sign of a serious problem with your cooker. Think of it as a cooker’s cry for help and your oven’s way of alerting anyone in earshot that it’s in dire need of assistance.

If your oven is making such a piercing plea, don’t read it the last rites and fork out on a replacement. The solution could be a lot simpler and a lot less expensive!

 

Diagnosing a Noisy Oven

More often than not, an uncharacteristically noisy oven typically points to an issue with the oven’s fan motor. That being said, most ovens have two fans: namely the cooling fan and the circulation fan.

Like any appliance, these components can and will wear over time as they reach the natural end of their lifespan. For oven motors, this often causes them to make a loud rattling noise when the oven is on.

To get to the bottom of it, it’s time to channel your inner sleuth and get inspecting. But remember, safety first, kids - be sure to disconnect your appliance from the mains before you do so.

 

Fixing a Noisy Oven

A noisy oven fan can be the result of something as simple as a loose blade or fixing nut. To eliminate this possibility, it’s worth tightening any loose screws/bolts to ensure everything is securely held in place.

Oven fans usually consist of three separate parts: the fan motor, the blade and the fixing nut. If all parts are securely in place and the noise still persists, you may need to replace a fan part.

Replacing an Oven Fan

Once you’ve diagnosed the problem and identified the part that needs attention, you can now tackle the task of solving the issue and replacing the problem part. That being said, it’s often not as easy as you might think.

Replacing an oven fan can be both difficult and dangerous, particularly if you don’t know what you’re doing. What’s more, with so many oven brands, models and variations on the market, prior maintenance knowledge of one oven can be entirely different for another.

A botched DIY job could void your warranty, while a failed attempt of fixing the issue could exacerbate your problems even further. As such, if you’re unsure, your safest bet is to call in a pro to check it out for you.

That being said, if you are intent on flexing your mechanic muscles and intent on doing your own oven overhaul, be sure to do your homework beforehand. Consult your manual and research your oven’s make and model thoroughly before getting your hands dirty.

Oven Not Cooking Evenly

If your oven is not cooking evenly we suspect you're ending up with some very questionable meal times. Whether half your pizza is burnt to a crisp while the other is unbaked, or a roast that is still half raw - an oven that isn't cooking evenly can be a real pain.

If you're having this issue we can help you figure out what is wrong with your oven and what you need to do to fix it, so for some oven advice, keep reading:

My oven is not cooking evenly

If your oven is heating up fine and all the other components are working and you're following the cooking instructions correctly (we have to ask...) then the problem is probably with your fan. A fan assisted oven is designed to better push the heat around your oven cavity, to fix the problem that traditional ovens had. This is to prevent your oven from unevenly cooking your food.

My oven isn't staying at the right temperature

Another reason your oven is not cooking your food evenly is that your cooker may be having trouble maintaining the temperature you set it to. This can happen when you have a faulty thermostat as the over can no longer tell how hot it is getting. The thermostat alerts your oven when it has reached to level you set it to, so if it is broken you may find your oven is changing temperature, either under or overheating your meals.

My oven isn't getting hot at all

If you food actually doesn't seem to be getting hot at all it may be something wrong with your oven element. Your oven element is the part of your oven that is responsible for getting your oven hot, without it the oven is of very little use!

How do I know my oven fan isn't working?


The easiest way to know that your fan is not working in your oven is if you hear it being louder than usual or moving much slower. Your oven will also heat up much slower, so if you can see the over lights and elements heating up it's most likely a problem with your fan.

Your oven fan is an essential part for maintaining the function of your appliance, so when this becomes faulty, you're sure to notice a problem straight away. The telltale sign that your oven fan is not working is unevenly cooked food. Because your oven fan is responsible for distributing the heat evenly inside your oven cavity, to ensure your meals are cooked accurately. So what could be preventing your oven's fan from working?


Why is the Oven Fan Not Working?

 
Faulty oven fan performance is usually due to one of two parts that your fan relies upon in order to function correctly:

The Oven Fan Motor 

If your oven fan is not working, it is likely that your oven's fan or fan motor has become faulty. These parts are the main components of your oven fan, and they help to ensure your food is cooked evenly. Some signs that these parts have failed include excess noise coming from the fan, along with the element successfully heating, but proving ineffective in circulating this heat around your oven. To view our range of oven fan spares please click on the link below.
 

The Oven Fan Element 

Another common cause for your oven fan not working is oven fan element failure. You may pick up on the faulty element if your oven appears to be working fine, but fails to generate heat. You may also notice some visual signs that your oven fan element has failed, such as burning or bulging.
