Possible Causes

There are multiple problems that can cause your oven to stop working, however here is a list of common problems:

  • Clock or timer problems.

What to Do

With any cooker/oven faults, there isn't just one problem that could cause this issue. So before you call out a gas or electrical engineer to take a look, make sure to follow this checklist:

Plugged In

Not to point out the obvious, but just in case, make sure that your cooker is plugged in and switched on.

Clock or Timer

The most common reason why your oven is not working but your grill is, is actually because the clock or timer isn't set correctly. We know, an easy fix right?

This can happen if your oven loses power, because you've turned off the power source or as a result of a power cut. This often stops your oven from coming to life - it's worth resetting your clock and seeing if this fixes the problem before calling someone out to help.

Your oven manual will have a guide on how to reset the clock for your particular make and model of oven or cooker.

Gas Burner or Oven Element

If you are sure it's not your oven clock causing the problems, its likely that there's an oven component that has become defective. If your oven cavity won't heat up at all it is likely to be your electric oven element or gas burner, the part of your oven responsible for heating up your oven.

Oven Thermostat

It is also worth testing your gas or electric thermostat and power source to make sure there isn't any other reason that it isn't getting to the right heat. Oven thermostats are responsible for maintaining temperatures and can affect how well your appliance heats up.

Fan Oven Motor

Sometimes when your fan oven motor breaks down, you'll notice that the your oven is not getting hot enough. If you find that your appliance is no longer blowing air around the cavity, you may have a damaged motor.

Call an Engineer 

If you still can't seem to work out why your oven isn't working it may be worth calling a professional to have a look. If they discover that there is a faulty component causing the issue you can find hundreds of genuine and alternative cooker spare parts on our website.

Belling Oven is Not Heating Up

If the oven cavity is not hot when you open the door, it is likely that your oven element is broken.

Belling Oven is Getting Too Hot

If you believe your Belling oven is not working because it is getting too hot, there may be an issue with your electric/gas thermostat. This is the part which ensures the oven reaches the temperature you have set and not above.

Belling Thermostats and RegulatorsBelling Gas Thermostats

The Fix

Electric thermostats can be a tricky part of the oven to replace, so we've created a handy guide on how you can do just this. However, due to the dangerous nature of gas parts, we suggest you get a qualified gas-safe registered engineer to carry out this repair.

Belling Oven Hob is Not Working

As you will know, the hob is an essential part of any gas or electric cooker. If you find these aren't heating up at all, it may be time to take a look at the hotplate element or the gas ignition electrode.

Belling Oven Hob

The Fix

If you've got an electric Belling cooker, you will most likely be in need of a solid, ceramic or induction hotplate element to get your oven hob to heat up again. Though this may seem a little tricky, you can use our useful guide on how to replace a ceramic hob element!

On the other hand, if you have a gas Belling cooker and the flame is not lighting on your hob, this may be due to the ignition electrode being broken. These are the parts of the oven which provide the spark to ignite the gas flame.
