    Common oven repair parts you may need

    Replacing one of these oven parts may fix your problem.

    Electronic Control Board Replacement

    When the electronic control board in an oven ceases to function properly, it can lead to various malfunctions, such as power loss, insufficient heating, or the inability to turn off the oven. This is because the control board acts as the central processing unit of the oven, overseeing crucial functions like temperature control, fan operation, cooking duration, and self-cleaning cycles. A malfunctioning board can disrupt communication among different oven components, resulting in issues like failure to secure the oven door latch or the production of strange noises and odors. Given its potential impact on multiple components, it's advisable to have a Sears Home Services professional inspect the board for any issues that might necessitate replacement.


    Igniter Replacement

    When the oven igniter is defective, it can prevent burner ignition, leading to no heat from the bake or broil burners in the oven. A malfunctioning igniter might also make it hard to light the burner, requiring multiple attempts for ignition. The igniter may emit a clicking sound without successfully lighting the gas, signaling a malfunction. Furthermore, in some cases, the igniter may not produce any visible spark at all. Igniter failure can result in delayed ignition, noticeable by a delay between turning the knob and the burner lighting.

    Bake Element Replacement

    A malfunctioning oven bake element will hinder its ability to heat up properly. You might observe visible damage signs such as cracks, blisters, or burn marks on the element. An ailing element may result in the oven struggling to achieve or sustain the set temperature. You may also experience uneven cooking or extended cooking durations. In cases of severe damage, the element could produce sparking, smoke, or unusual noises during operation. It's vital to have a Sears Home Services professional promptly handle these symptoms to uphold consistent and effective baking performance in the oven.

    What to expect when you experience a oven noisy issue

    How to fix a makes noise problem

    Resolving most noise-related issues typically entails replacing either the electronic control board, igniter, or bake element. However, given the various potential causes, conducting a thorough diagnosis is crucial for effectively addressing the problem. An accurate diagnosis is essential for determining the extent of the required repair costs.

    Solutions for a noisy oven

    If the oven emits unusual noises, various factors may be responsible. To avoid replacing parts unnecessarily, it's recommended to have a Sears Home Services professional perform diagnostic tests to uncover the root cause. Our technicians excel in diagnosing all types of oven failures.

    What to consider with an oven that makes noise diagnosis

    Identifying issues with modern appliances requires specialized knowledge and training. Attempting to diagnose oven problems without proper diagnostic techniques often leads to guesswork in part replacement. The complexity of electronic components in appliances, especially those introduced in the last decade, complicates the testing process. Consequently, DIY repairs on contemporary appliance models are increasingly challenging.
