If your electric cooker is not working, it can be due to several common faults. Identifying the cause helps determine whether it can be repaired or needs replacement.
Common reasons electric cookers fail
Faulty heating elements
Heating elements may fail partially or completely. This prevents the cooker from reaching correct temperatures.
Replacement typically costs £90 to £200.
Blown fuses or tripped breakers
Electrical faults may trip the supply. Check your fuse box and circuit breaker first.
Control board failure
A faulty control board can prevent the cooker from powering on or regulating heat.
Repair usually costs £150 to £350.
Thermostat or sensor issues
If the temperature sensor fails, the cooker may not operate or may overheat.
Repairs typically cost £90 to £220.
