Below are some frequent cooker issues and practical solutions to address them:
Uneven cooking
Uneven cooking can often be traced back to a faulty heating element or temperature sensor. Inspect these components for damage and replace them if necessary to ensure your meals cook evenly.
Cooker not heating up
If your cooker isn't heating up, check the thermostat and power supply. Ensure the cooker is plugged in and the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. If these are fine, consider replacing the thermostat to restore heat.
Overheating
An overheating cooker poses safety risks. Verify the thermostat calibration and inspect for any signs of malfunction. If the issue persists, consult a professional for a thorough inspection and repair.
Broken door seal
A damaged door seal can lead to heat loss and inconsistent cooking temperatures. Replace the seal promptly to improve efficiency and cooking performance.
Strange Noises
Unusual noises could indicate issues with the fan, motor, or heating element. Turn off the cooker and inspect these components for damage or obstructions. Replace faulty parts to resolve the noise problem.
Burnt out light bulb
If the light inside your cooker has burnt out, refer to the manual for guidance on replacing the bulb with a compatible one.
Gas smell
Detecting a gas smell with a gas cooker requires immediate action. Shut off the gas supply, ventilate the area, and contact a certified gas engineer to inspect and resolve any gas leaks or issues.
