If your oven keeps switching itself off, it can be frustrating and dangerous. This usually indicates a safety or electrical fault that requires professional attention.
Common causes
Overheating
Many ovens have thermal cut-outs that turn the appliance off if it gets too hot. This prevents damage and fire.
Faulty thermostat or sensor
A malfunctioning thermostat or sensor can misread temperatures, triggering automatic shutdowns.
Repair typically costs £90 to £220.
Control board issues
Electronic control boards can fail and cause intermittent shutdowns.
Repairs often cost £150 to £350.
Electrical supply problems
Loose wiring or poor connections can cause the oven to lose power unexpectedly.
Wiring repairs range from £80 to £200.
