Cannon Oven Problems

Just like all things in life, ovens are not meant to last forever and unfortunately, are prone to the odd problem here and there. If you have a Cannon cooker that has a faulty oven and unsure as to what the problem may be, here we list the potential causes to your cannon oven problems and how we can help to solve them.

Your Oven is Overheating

If you find that your Cannon oven is cooking at abnormally high temperatures, there could be several oven parts that could be at faults such as the thermostat or cooling fan.

  • Faulty Thermostat – A thermostat is responsible for regulating the heat inside of your Cannon oven. Therefore, if this part isn’t functioning properly, the heat produced by your oven is going to be off, causing your meals to be either under or overcooked. This can be a major issue as you will constantly have to keep an eye on your meals as they cook, ensuring they don’t burn. If you check your thermostat and do find that this is what is causing your Cannon cooker problems, then our collection of quality replacement Cannon thermostats will get your cooking back on track.

  • Faulty Cooling Fan – If you find that your thermostat is in good working condition, then another part which may be at the root of your overheating issues is your Cannon oven’s cooling fan. The role of this part speaks for itself. It’s meant to keep the temperature of your cooker down whilst it’s cooking your food. If it’s broken, then the temperature is going to rise leading to overcooked food. If you find that your cooling fan is the issue, you can purchase your replacement here!

Prolonged Cooking Times

Everyone wants their meals to either cook in the time stated on the packaging or quicker. There’s nothing worse than feeling hungry and deciding to cook a quick bite for it to take twice as long as planned. So, if you find that your cooking times are taking a lot longer than usual, there again maybe a couple of parts to blame.

  • Faulty Oven Element – Your oven’s element is responsible for producing and distributing the heat required to cook your food. If this part is faulty, then there is not going to be enough heat to properly cook your food in the designated times, leading to increased cooking times. You can browse our range of spare Cannon oven element below.

  • Broken Oven Door Seal – Your oven door seal is a strip of rubber that is attached to the rim of your oven door, providing protection as well as retaining heat to the inside of your oven whilst it cooks your food. Therefore, if there is an area or several areas where your door seal has come loose from the oven door, valuable heat could be escaping which is causing your food to take longer to cook. If your Cannon oven door seal has, in fact, come loose, you can buy a spare from us today.

Oven Not Heating Up

If you find that your Cannon cooker is not heating up at all, meaning you’re unable to cook anything whatsoever, then these are the parts that you will need to check to ensure they are working correctly.

  • Oven Element – Again, your Cannon’s oven element is what produces the heat needed to cook your foods. If this part is faulty or has completely stopped working, then no heat is going to be produced which stops your foods from cooking.

 

Oven Clock Broken

How are you going to keep track of your cooking times if your Cannon’s oven clock is broken? For sure you can most likely use a smartphone or voice assistant to set a timer but why should you if you can have a perfectly fine oven clock? Besides, who wants to listen to one of those annoying alarm sounds over a traditional oven ‘ding’ anyway? In fact, some oven may not work at all if the clock is broken, so avoiding getting it replaced isn’t an option at all. Below you can browse our collection of oven clocks and timers to make your Cannon cooker problems a thing of the past.

Oven Door Not Opening/Closing

What good is having a cooker if you’re not able to even open or close the oven door to cook your meals? If you can’t open your door, you’re not going to be able to get your food inside, and if you can’t close it, the heat needed to cook your food will just escape. Here at Cooker Spare Parts, we have a choice of oven door parts that are sure to help any of these two issues.

  • Replacement Handles – If your oven door handle has broken or is completely missing, then you’re not going to be able to open or close your door, making your oven completely unusable. Take a look at our range of spare oven door handles below.

  • Faulty Hinges – Your oven door’s hinges may also be the cause of your door issues. If you have broken hinges, then these are going to be causing your oven door either not open or close the way it should. Ultimately, leading to your cooking times increasing as a result of escaping heat or the door not opening at all. Browse our spares below!

Zanussi Oven Not Heating Up

Just like most things in life, your Zanussi often will not last forever. Unfortunately, there may come a time when it decides to stop working and prevent you from cooking all of those delicious meals that you had planned, however, not all hope is lost!

If you find that your Zanussi oven is not heating up, take a look at the possible issues that could have caused it and what you need to do in order to get your cooker back up and running at its very best.

Clock Not Set

It can be taxing enough having to change the time on your oven clock twice a year when the clocks go back and forward, but if your home has experienced a power cut, the likelihood of having to set it again is high. It may be hard to believe but a clock that’s not set can cause your entire oven to suddenly stop working. The good thing here though is that it’s very easy and fast to fix so should be the first thing to check if you find that your Zanussi oven won’t heat up. Simply dig out your Zanussi cooker manual to find out the steps needed to set the time on your specific make and model and hopefully you should have a fully functional oven again in no time.

Faulty Heating Element

Another common cause of your Zanussi oven not heating up could be down to a faulty element, of course! If you find that the following things are present, it is highly likely that your cooker’s element is the reason behind your culinary catastrophe.

  • Your oven clock is set and is set to manual and not automatic
  • The light on the face of your oven remains on until the oven has reached an adequate temperature
  • You can hear the oven’s fan spinning as usual

If you find that all of these are correct, then it is time to look at your Zanussi oven’s element. To check the health of your element, be sure to follow these simple steps:

  1. Identify the two connections where the electricity flows through
  2. Using a multimeter on a low resistance setting, connect one probe on each of the connections
  3. Measure the reading (you should typically find resistance between 20 & 100 ohms)
  4. If no connection is present, then the element is most definitely dead and will need replacing

If your Zanussi heating element is at fault for your oven not heating up, then you can find your replacement today within our extensive collection of replacement parts.

Thermostat

If your oven clock is set correctly and your heating element is in good working order and you still can’t feel the heat, then the next thing to inspect is your Zanussi oven’s thermostat. To do so, you’ll need to first check to see if the temperature indicator light on the face of your oven is working. This is the small light on the front of your oven that remains lit until the desired temperature is reached. If the light does not come on at all, then this may be a sign of a faulty thermostat an indication that it may need to be replaced.

You can get your Zanussi thermostat replaced in no time, thanks to our collection of high-quality spare parts!

Clock Not Working

As well as your clock not being set, your clock not working altogether can cause your Zanussi oven to not heat up. If you find that there is no power to any of your cooker’s circuits, be sure to check the fuse board and power supply before suspecting an issue with the cooker itself. If you both of these things are in full working order and your clock is still not working or is displaying a hand symbol meaning you are not able to set it properly, then this means your clock has unfortunately failed and will need to be replaced. You can browse our collection of Zanussi below.

Terminal Blocks

The final thing to check to find out why your Zanussi oven won’t heat up is its terminal block. The typical things to look out for that suggest an issue here include the clock not displaying or some parts of your cooker not working at all. If your terminal block is to blame, you can find it at the back of the appliance where there may be a number of circuits connected by links from the main power connection. Before checking anything, be sure to disconnect your cooker from the mains power supply. Now, you need to look for the following:

  • If any connector or link is loose, which can result in heat and damage
  • Signs of charrings

If you do find any of the above, then the terminal block of your Zanussi cooker will need to be replaced. You can find our collection of replacement Zanussi terminal blocks below.

Cooker Kobs

Are you searching for a new cooker but not sure which type to go for? The cooker you choose will depend on the previous cooker you have used and, of course, your personal preference when it comes to cooking. This blog highlight’s the pros and cons of gas and electric cookers, to inform you of which cooker is suitable for your needs. While both of these style cookers do a great job, they both have advantages and disadvantages.

Which is cheaper to run?

Both gas and electric cookers cost money to run, but they do differ greatly in how much they cost. If you use an electric cooker, you will use less energy but as electricity costs are more than gas per unit, you may end up paying slightly more for an electric cooker.

If you were to use your cooker for around five-hours per week, tests have shown an electric cooker will cost you on average £40 per week while a gas cooker will cost around £17 per week. Not to mention, gas cookers tend to retail cheaper also. While we understand, it’s not always about how much it will cost you, this will influence which cooker you purchase.  

Advantages and Disadvantages; Which cooker is best?

Gas Cooker

 

Gas Cooker

 

Advantages

  1. Gas cookers are great for simmering food as they offer quick and easy-to-control heat temperatures. Overall, the cooker hobs provide even heat for the base of your pan. Therefore, you spend less time preparing your dinner to get it cooked properly.
  2. They are also cheaper to run, compared to electric cookers. As a result, you’re going to save more money if you cook with a gas cooker.

Disadvantages 

  1. Gas hobs are a lot slower than electric hobs, meaning they take longer to warm larger volumes of food. If you’re planning on cooking large meals each night on your gas hob, we recommend you safe yourself some time and go for an electric cooker.
  2. Gas hobs can sometimes be harder to clean as they have raised burners and pan supports. Trying to clean them does become slightly trickier and time-consuming. As gas hobs have raised burners and pan supports they are more susceptible to collecting dust and excess food from spillages.
  3. A gas cooker has less even heat distribution in the ‘oven’ compartment compared to electric ovens, making it harder for the heat to circulate around the cavity of the oven. This means the heat will stay at the top of the oven, rather than the bottom. While this is seen as a disadvantage for some, others utilise this element as they cook different foods, with different cooking instructions, at the same time!
  4. Conclusively, installation of a gas cooker can also be a tricky one and you are required to have a qualified professional to install your appliance – this does cost, so bare this in mind if you are thinking of purchasing a gas cooker.

 

Electric Cooker

Electric Cooker

While there is no definite answer to which cooker is best, as experts, Cooker Spare Parts can advise you of the advantages and disadvantages of each cooker, to make sure you’re buying the most suitable cooker for your home and your requirements!

Electric cookers have a few more advantages than they do disadvantages and this is why;

  1. Electric cookers evenly distribute its heat, this is because they have fans, which help circulate hot air around the cavity. This means your food will tend to cook evenly and will take less time (this is a great benefit if you are cooking large meals or are looking to cook a meal quickly).
  2. Electric ovens also tend to have different heating elements that you can utilise to your advantage. With this element, you can cook multiple meals at the same time. For example, using your grill and fan to cook different meals (perfect for families with children or those with different food preferences).
  3. If you tend to cook a lot, have a large family or, are a messy cook (this is not a bad thing), then an electric oven would be the cooker we would recommend. Electric cookers are much easier to clean and take less time to clean – so, if you’re in a rush or cooking a lot, it saves you a lot of time and stress when it comes to the deep clean.
  4. If you purchase an electric cooker that has ‘induction cooking’ you can speed up cooking times; induction cookers heat up faster which is great if you’re in a rush and are looking to whip up a quick meal.
  5. Finally, it has been proven that electric cookers are better at grilling food to that of gas cookers. So, if you like to grill your food then we’d recommend an electric cooker.

Disadvantages 

  1. Electric cookers cost fractionally more, so your energy bills will be slightly higher if you opt for this cooker style.
  2. Electric cooker hobs tend to take longer to cool down as they retain heat after they have been switched off – be careful if you have little ones, as they can be very hot to touch after they have been switched off!

Cooker Spare Parts can inform you of the types of cookers available and how they can work for you. However, it really depends on your cooking preferences as to which cooker is best! Both gas and electric cookers do a great job at cooking but they do have different functions so, make sure before buying, you are aware of their pros and their cons.

If you do have any questions about which cooker is best, don’t hesitate to give our friendly advice team a call or email; you can find their contact details here. Additionally, at Cooker Spare Parts we stock a range of gas and electric cooker replacement parts so at any time you find your cooker in need of fixing, we can help too!

Range of Ovens

If your oven has stopped working or you have noticed a fault, then carry on reading. This blog post targets common oven problems and how they can be fixed. The majority of problems that occur among most ovens can be fixed independently and it doesn’t take too long either. I bet you’re thinking – “what oven parts do I need?” Well, think no further! Cooker Spare Parts provide a range of oven parts that help make fixing your oven that little bit easier and, a lot quicker. This post will explain the different replacements you will need if certain parts of your oven have stopped working and require replacing. 

  1. Not heating up

Firstly, if you have noticed your oven is not heating up how it should be, there’s no need to panic - this could be an easy fix.  

Gas oven:

If you have a gas oven, the issue could be down to a faulty igniter. In order to find this out, you can test one of the gas stovetops to see if it ignites. To check the temperature and turn on the gas of your oven, you more often than not press down on your dial, hear a few clicks and then the stovetops ignite. If this does not happen for you, you might want to consider replacing the igniter.

To replace the igniter, you can simply turn the oven off by disconnecting it from the main power socket. Remove your oven door so it’s easier for you to access your cooker’s igniter; remove the screws holding the igniter in place, and disconnect the wiring connection; connect your new igniter and then put everything back together – it’s as easy as that.  

If you’re still finding that your oven isn’t heating up as expected, you may have a problem with your thermostat. Your oven’s thermostat controls the amount of gas within the oven and allows the oven to reach a desired temperature (and of course, stopping it from under or over heating). If your thermostat is faulty, this can stop your gas oven from heating up correctly.

Electric oven:

If you have an electric oven, often, due to constant use, the heating elements can wear and stop working. You can often tell if an oven element is faulty if it doesn’t fully glow red/orange, or from its physical appearance. Visual indications are bulging; bright spots; or obvious cracks. If you notice any of these faults, then this is normally a sign that it’s time to replace your heating elements. Changing this only takes a short amount of time if you use the correct replacement part, and by following this step-by-step guide.

 

  1. It’s not heating to the correct temperature

It can sometimes be frustrating when your oven suddenly stops heating to the correct temperature but these appliances don’t last forever, and it is important to keep checking regularly, to make sure your oven is doing its job.

Gas oven:

If your gas oven isn’t heating up to the correct temperature, it may be because you need to change your oven thermostat. However, it could be simpler than that, and the part that could be causing you trouble could be as simple as a door seal. Heat may escape from your oven door and therefore, resulting in your food not being cooked properly.

Electric oven:

If you notice your food is coming out of the oven partly cold; or it’s not heating up at all, this is normally a sign that the temperature sensor inside your oven is broken. Before replacing your temperature sensor, make sure to check that your sensor is not touching the inside wall as this affects your ovens capability of measuring the temperature. If you find your oven is still not heating to the correct temperature, you can use an ohmmeter to test your sensor. Replacing the temperature sensor is also an easy job!

Both ovens:

If you have changed your temperature sensor and thermostat, and your oven still doesn’t heat correctly, one common problem is that it needs to be calibrated. To check that your oven knows when and how to heat up, you must test it by using an oven thermometer. Preheat your oven to 176°C and take the temperature reading after twenty-minutes, and every twenty-minutes or so for the next two-hours - make sure you write your temperature readings down as you go along. After your final reading, add up the total temperature heating and divide this by the number of readings you took. If you’re findings are different to the average 176°C, this will indicate that you need to adjust your oven’s temperature dial. Hopefully this will fix the job!

 

  1. It doesn’t cook food evenly

Another common oven problem is that it doesn’t cook your food evenly! If you have recently cooked some meals and noticed that they are cold in some parts and boiling in others, then this tends to sign that you have either a faulty heating element and thermostat, in your electric oven or thermostat and igniter, in your gas oven.

This problem can be easily fixed. All you have to do is preheat your oven and see if your heating elements light up (electric oven) or ignite (gas oven) and check that the temperature of the oven is the same as the temperature’s sensor. If after this diagnostic test your oven still isn’t working as desired, both heating elements and thermostats should be replaced, for electric ovens or thermostat and igniter, for gas ovens.

Additionally, if you are using baking trays or other trays whilst cooking, give them a clean or replace them. As trays are reflective, if they are not clean, the heat cannot bounce off them and therefore, cook your food as well. 

 

  1. Door won’t close properly

Lastly, the easiest fix and an extremely common oven problem is that your door doesn’t close properly. If you find your oven doesn’t heat up as well as it used to it may be because your oven has a loose door. As we use our ovens daily, the hinges; catches and seals can become faulty, especially if we open and close with some force. This is probably the easiest fix and can be done in minutes. All you need to do is replace the hinges and/or door catch/pin; and your oven will be as good as new! For help replacing your oven door hinge, check out this easy to follow guide.

There are many common oven problems that you encounter, but most of them are a really easy fix! All of the products advised to change faulty parts of your cooker are from Cooker Spare Parts. If you encounter further oven problems and would like guidance or advise, don’t hesitate to contact the Cooker Spare Parts support team.

Note: before ordering any parts, make sure they are compatible with your specific oven model/type. Your model type and details can be found on your oven and we have a search bar that allows you to directly search what you are specifically looking for.
