Simple Fixes for Common Appliance Problems - Electronic Oven Controls

By the DIY experts of The Family Handyman Magazine

Blame it on the technology. It so happens that if you set the “time cook” function, the oven, much like a programmed VCR, won't turn on until the appointed time. You may have done this inadvertently, but if your digital display reads “hold,” “delay” or “time cook,” then the timer is engaged. You'll have to clear it first by pushing the “off” button. On ovens with dials, be sure the knob is turned to “manual.”

Programming snafu
Oven won't heat? Check the clock and the timer setting. It doesn't always do what you think you told it to do.
