There’s nothing more frustrating than prepping a meal, only to find out your oven isn’t working. You check the temperature, reset the controls, and still—nothing. Before you assume the worst, take a closer look at your stove. Many times, oven issues stem from stove-related problems, and getting the right fix can save you time and money.

While it might seem like your oven is the problem, certain stove malfunctions can prevent it from heating properly or turning on at all. Knowing what could be causing the issue will help you determine when to call in a professional for repairs.
