Is your stove broken? Instead of using the microwave to heat up dinner or ordering out every single night, the appliance repair service technicians at Honest & Fair Appliance Repair recommend inspecting your oven to be sure you've done everything that you can to get it working again.

Before calling an appliance repair service, make sure you've read through the following stove troubleshooting tips:

• Check Power Source: Usually, when your oven won't turn on, it's a good sign something's wrong with the power source. If your appliance depends on electricity, make sure the cable is plugged into the wall and it is not frayed, melted, or split. For those of you with a gas unit, check the stove eyes to ensure they're releasing propane.

• Re-Set The Burners: Sometimes, a burner won't light when it isn't properly aligned with the stovetop. Remove the grates from the top of your stove and place them on the countertop, and then remove the burners and wipe off all surfaces. Then, return the burners to the eyes and give them another shot.

• Inspect The Oven: If you're having specific issues with the inside of your oven, turn it off and open the door. Check to see if the bake element is burned out, and then make sure the thermostat bulb is attached to the holder. If it still isn't heating up, then check the clock and set the knob on the manual bake cycle.
