Common Problems With Dirty Gas Ovens

March 16th, 2015

An evaluation of the common issues dirt can cause your gas oven

cleaning gas ovens
Gas ovens are declining in number year on year, but there’s still thousands of them out there and they’re being plagued by issues caused by dirt and grime. With so many intricate and interweaving parts, little bits of grit can get into lodged in hard to reach places, interrupting the functionality of the oven. This can lead to costly repairs or even the removal of the oven completely. But fear not, because we know what causes these issues, and we know how to solve them, so if you have any of the problems listed below, then don’t throw out your oven just yet.

Trouble With The Hob

Gas hobs can be notoriously difficult to light on an aging oven, but this isn’t simply because it is past its sell by date. The problem is that over the years, little bits of dust, food and grime get into the holes that allow gas to be emitted and burned. With the right tools, these can be easily cleaned, allowing your hob to work as good as new.

Broken Pilot Light

The pilot light of a gas oven is like its lifeblood, without it you’re oven is toast. But, a pilot light that has gone out is not necessarily a sign your oven is on its last legs. There is a little electrode within the oven that operates the pilot light, if that gets dirty, the sensors can malfunction and cause it to go out. A simple, yet targeted clean will get it going again in no time.

Delayed Heat

The difference between gas and electric ovens is the instantaneous heat that gas ovens supply. When you switch a gas oven on, its ready to go in moments, and if it isn’t you’ll start to wonder why. The probable cause is blocked ignition ports. Like the other issues, these can easily be cleaned with the right tools, with no need to replace this costly piece of kit.

If you have had any of these issues and want them fixed without paying to replace your entire unit, then contact us and we’ll see if we can sort out these pesky issues.
