Stove Not Getting Enough Power? Causes and Solutions

Cooking can be fun when you are cooking for your loved ones but what if it appears like your stove is on some sort of unauthorized power-saving mission? Is your electric stove refusing to heat up or maybe your burners don’t have that needed oomph—chances are the power supply might be too low. Let’s dive into what could cause it and how to return to making some of your favorite meals with stove repair services here in Ottawa.

And hey, if you’re thinking, “I don’t have time to play appliance detective,” don’t worry—Max’s Quick Stove Repair services has your back with same-day service, anywhere in Ottawa. So, let’s figure out why your stove could be slacking off!

Check the Power Source

First things first: let’s make sure your stove is plugged in and getting the juice it needs. You would be surprised how often a loose plug can be the bad guy. If you live in one of Ottawa’s older homes, you might want to double-check that outlet because electric stoves usually need 240 volts. Plugging an electric stove into any less than that won’t work!

The circuit breaker is the next one. Severe winters, like those in Ottawa, will likely consume a lot of power in terms of heaters, causing the system to trip. If the stove suddenly stops working, go to the electrical panel and check if the breaker for your kitchen has tripped. If so, just flip it back and see if that gets things cooking again.

Check the Power Cord

Still cold? Check the power cord. Those little guys can wear out over time, especially if you’ve been giving your stove quite a workout with all those homemade poutine experiments. If your power cord is frayed or damaged, then the juice isn’t getting where it needs to go, in which case it’s time for a replacement—safety first!

Check Internal Wiring

This could be the case if none of the above works: the fault might be situated a bit deeper, inside the stove to be exact. Internal wiring does wear out, especially after years of preparing those warm dinners for the cold winter seasons. The temperature cessation that makes your stove likely goes down to faulty wiring, meaning your stove isn’t getting enough juice to heat up properly. At this point, we advise you to seek professional help for stove repair services. We could pass by and take a look-see before getting your stove back at it again, running at tip-top.

We’re ready to send our technicians to inspect it and fix it the very same day, be it in downtown Ottawa or out in the suburbs.
