Kenwood ovens are leading the field in offering affordable new technology to an entire range of integrated and freestanding appliances. But when your oven starts experiencing operating issues you’ll want to know what to do!
Look at a range of common Kenwood oven problems and troubleshooting here…
Kenwood oven problems
Kenwood oven not heating upIf your electric oven has stopped heating up it could be due to a faulty fan oven element which will often show signs of burning or less visible signs of bulging. In some cases, the element can be damaged inside the casing. Your oven element will need to be tested for continuity.
A Kenwood oven element replacement will be needed if the fan is actually working and the thermostat light is on but there’s no heat. Bear in mind that following a replacement your oven will need to be reset.
A defective thermostat will also cause heating issues that result in food being undercooked. If your food is still lukewarm after the appropriate cooking time your oven is probably not reaching the correct temperature.
Thermostats measure the temperature inside the oven cavity and then automatically switch the element on and off to maintain the required temperature. After checking that the temperature sensor isn't touching the walls which affect the accuracy of the readings your engineer will test the thermostat before replacing it as necessary.
If your Kenwood gas oven isn’t heating up the culprit could be a broken gas thermostat. The gas thermostat works by adjusting the size of the flame on the burner to maintain a constant oven temperature and will produce undercooked food if defective.
A more complex issue with your gas oven not heating up can be related to a damaged oven burner or ignition electrode. If you don’t hear clicks followed by the gas igniting when you set the oven temperature the oven burner may be damaged and you’ll need an expert to repair or replace it.
Kenwood oven not workingThis problem is typically caused by an issue with the power supply if your oven isn’t doing anything at all. If the clock is off and the lights aren’t coming on these are indicators that there’s an electrical problem. In this instance, it’s safest for a qualified engineer to check all electrical connections, wiring, sockets, switches and power points to get your oven working properly.
If the fan and the heating are both non-functioning the error could lie with an incorrect oven setting. If your oven is set in auto mode it simply won’t come on until the setting is changed to manual.
Kenwood oven fan not workingIf this is happening checks will need to be made on the fan itself to see if a blade has become loose. Apart from making the fan ineffective, it will also make a loud noise. If the fan is obstructed by grease or food residues this will also affect its ability to function. When the fan is turned by hand and is stiff this indicates the fan motor is faulty and will need replacing.
