Why the electric stove broke

These plates are much safer. compared to gas - there is no open flame, but with careless use it is possible to get an electric shock. Products are very reliable, but sometimes users call the service center to report - the electric stove has broken. Of course, the overhaul of such household appliances with increased danger should be qualified master. But in some cases, you can cope on your own, you only need to know what the cause of the malfunction is, and also have a general idea of how does an electric stove.

Diagnostics

Quite often there are such characteristic violations in the stable operation of the product:

• the hob and / or oven do not heat up;
• LEDs are off;
• one of the hotplates heats up badly;
• does not turn on the lights in the oven.

The causes of such violations are many, one of them - tripped automatic protection overload in case of an abrupt voltage surge in the urban power grid. If the machine does not work, and the electric stove does not show signs of life, then a diagnosis should be made.

1. First you should check presence of voltage in the network - it is possible that the power supply was turned off in the whole house. If everything is OK, then check the automatic protection on your electrical panel, carefully examine the terminals and look for the place of burning, then disassemble the socket for a similar inspection. If everything works on the panel and there is no voltage in the outlet, call the master.
2. There are options when everything is working fine, but there is no current at the input terminals of the plate - the reason is the plug cord from the product, a broken wire is possible, or the contact of its fastening is loose, because of this the plate does not turn on.

In the third option, you can eliminate the defect yourself - you need to disassemble the plug and tighten the screws securing the wire, or reconnect, cut the wire, remove the braid, clean the wires, and connect them to the point of contact.

Product does not turn on

Why are the indicators not working on the stove, there is no heating of the burner, there is no reaction to the switching of modes? The reason lies in no current supply to the product. In order to locate the faults of the slab, it is necessary to do everything in stages:

• we check the voltage in the outlet with a multimeter, if not - turn off the home network, disassemble and repair the detected wire break;
• if everything works in the socket - we disassemble the plug and do the same check;
• then check the power cord connecting plate - it is possible that an internal breakage of the core has occurred, it should be replaced;

The second reason may be heating element burnout rings or TEN of an oven - they are not subject to repair, they are just changed for new devices. There is also such an option: the indicators are lit, but there is no heating of the burners and the heating elements of the oven, why is this happening? In this case, you need to understand without haste. At first, everything must be visually inspected: whether all the connections are tightened as necessary, whether the wire has moved away, or there is a melting of the PVC protection, which indicates the burning of the core. In this case, make the connection again, eliminating the burnt area.

The third, quite common reason - can break switchso the hob or oven simply does not turn on.

Important! You should not try to disassemble the switch, then it will be difficult to install all the springs in their original place, for this you need skill and great experience. If you have determined that this particular device is to blame - just replace it, you can easily buy a similar model in the store.

Oven Failures

Often in the electric stove only the oven doesn't work. In this case, the most common malfunction - no backlight inside the device, as a rule, there are two reasons.

1. There is no contact of the lead wire with the lighting system - check the button responsible for turning on the backlight, in case of breakage, replace it.
2. A light bulb burned out - the cover protects it from heat, but they are so arranged that they often burn out from the slightest voltage drop.

When a short circuit occurs in the cooker electrical system, the first lamps in the oven burn out.

Oven fan

To better distribute the heat in the oven over the entire area, the designers installed a powerful fan,which sometimes may not function correctly: rotates continuously or does not turn on at all. This kind of breakdown is related to control unittherefore, it is useless to carry out repairs yourself - we need the appropriate diagnostic equipment in order to accurately install, change the fan or the unit itself.

No heating TEN

When the oven of electric stove heats up slightly, the main reason lies in the health of the heater. These products, as well as the heating elements of the hob, cannot be repaired - their replacement is required. Sometimes, what happens very rarely, burn thermostatwhich regulates the temperature inside the device - it is dismantled and a new one is installed.

Such a malfunction is very rare: the hostess turns on the oven, and the product is immediately turned off completely. When checking the circuit breaker on the electrical panel, it turns out that it turned off the power supply to the product - a short circuit may have occurred, it is necessary to change the heater.

Induction option

When the electric stove does not work with induction hobthen a main switch or a special fuse could be the reason for this - it melts when the voltage rises, turning off the entire electrical circuit.For various reasons, the contacts between the control unit and the power board or between it and the touch panel may not be switched on due to oxidation or the formation of carbon deposits. Only a specialist can understand all the difficulties - here you need to change the burner block or the touch control panel.

Bad heat

Poor heating of the surface of an induction hotplate of an electric cooker may occur because the bottom of the cookware is much smaller than the diameter of the latter, or there is not enough contact - dishes with a deformed bottom. Smart rings do not heat up in this case. To troubleshoot, you need to use only special disheswhich is suitable for induction hob.

Another reason for poor heating is the loose fit of the burner block on the inside of the glass-ceramic plate. In this case, it is necessary adjust springs pressure device. This can happen with a strong overheating of the induction winding, which happens very rarely.

Burner does not work

Very often, such problems in the operation of induction burners occur the fault of the user:

• the diameter of the bottom of the dish should be at least 12 cm - this will ensure a sufficient area of ​​contact with the cooking surface;
• bottom thickness should be in the range of 2-6 mm;
• First, select the burner, place the dishes on it, and then set the power of the cooking mode.

If executed operating rules and the recommended dishes are used, the reason for failure may be as follows:

• temperature sensor out of order;
• there is no heating at the pair of burners on the left - their connection with the power board and the control unit is broken;
• when the same happens with the right unit - there is no contact in the terminal box, you need to check the fuse, if it is blown, install a new one.

With such faults it is necessary to call the master from the service, and not open the electric stove - only he is able to make the correct diagnostics in order to determine the problem with the power supply, control or the burners themselves. For small repair of electric stoves minimal skills and knowledge are required, in case of major breakdowns - contact the professionals.
