Stove/oven controls don't work
When your stove controls are not working, start with the knobs before replacing an internal part. A cracked, stripped, or loose timer knob is the most likely cause if the timer will not engage or rotate the timer stem. If the oven temperature cannot be set, inspect the thermostat knob for the same problem. Next, check the selector knob, which must turn the oven function selector switch stem, followed by the control knob that operates a surface burner switch, gas valve, or other range control. A damaged range/stove/oven knob may slip on the stem even though it appears to turn normally, leaving the control inactive. If multiple oven controls are not working after a power outage or surge, turn the range, stove, or oven power off for several minutes, then restore power to perform a reset. These checks address common stove controls not working and oven controls not working complaints without unnecessary disassembly. Replace only the damaged knob, and enter your model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific range, stove, or oven. Always disconnect power before servicing the appliance.
