Ovens & cooktops
Not heating, elements, and induction faults.
Electric oven not heating
The oven powers up (light/clock may work) but doesn't get hot — pointing at the element, thermostat, or the oven's controls rather than the supply.
Oven trips the power when switched on or heating
Turning the oven on (or selecting heat/grill) trips the safety switch or breaker — usually an element that's failed to earth.
Cooktop element (radiant/coil) not working
One element/zone on an electric (radiant or coil) cooktop isn't heating while others work — pointing at that element, its switch/control, or connection.
Induction cooktop showing a fault or not heating
An induction cooktop won't heat, shows an error code, or doesn't recognise pans — different from a radiant element fault because it's electronic and pan-dependent.
Rangehood fan or light not working
A rangehood's fan won't run or its light is out — could be the supply, switches, motor, or (for ducted units) the controls.
Oven clock/controls blank but oven otherwise has power
The oven's clock/display is blank or the touch controls are unresponsive, often preventing the oven from operating even though the circuit is live.
Gas cooktop igniter keeps clicking or won't spark
The cooktop's spark igniters click continuously (even with everything off), click at every burner at once, or don't spark at all. The ignition system is electrical — and it's usually moisture or a stuck switch.
