Hello & Welcome to FixYa

STOP.
I suggest you to check the fuse box and shut off the circuit break that label for the kitchen stove or kitchen.
This will give you some assurance and time to troubleshoot the oven problem.
=== Please reply with MAKE AND MODEL # on reply. ===
I can only give you general fix and check list until you provide the exact model.
Beside the oven light,is there any non-function part in your range?

GAS or ELECTRIC?
=======
For electric stove.
Make sure the electricity supply is off. Most dial can be pull directly off (outward)
Please give it a gentle tug and see can the oven control dial move outward.
The objective is to clean the dial on the body of the stove. Please use plastic glove and mild detergent to wipe the post on the dial clean.
Use dry towel to COMPLETELY dry off the post of the oven dial.
Let it dry for 30 minutes or use a fan / oven hood range to speed up the drying process.
Place the dial back on.
Turn the circuit breaker back on and test the oven.
============
Gas oven will need the same cleaning instruction.
The igniter can be worn.
This can be accomplish easily.
I will wait for you reply on the exact model.

Hi,

If your electric oven is taking too long to heat or just not heating up right, then check out this tip that will give more detail about your problem.

Oven Problems Electric Oven is Heating Slowly or Poorly

F1 means the system watchdog cicuit has detected a fault.

Try pressing CANCEL for 30 seconds if it continues after that you will probably need a replacement control board.

We were able to unscrew the plate that sits behind the latch. 6 screws I believe. Look towards the middle back-right side you will see a red switch. Click it twice. Before we put plate back we tested oven and it worked!!! Hope this info will help you. Dacor oven has been a real problem and I'm a kitchen designer. Will never recommend Dacor anything to my clients after many oven issues.

Please, send us details about your specific model and additional description details about your problem.

F2 Heating mode high temperature This alarm is activated when the ERC senses a runaway heat condition or when the temperature exceeds "runaway limits". The ERC will beep until the cancel or another function is selected. If the alarm repeats the F2 code check the oven sensor and wiring after first checking for a stuck relay. If alarm goes away verify the oven will complete a clean cycle without any type of failure.

Yes , there is a cooling fan located at the top of the oven
It could be the fan blades catching, or a noisy fan bearing.
You would have to access it by removing the top oven cover to check., and yes it could be as a result of having it cleaned.
Plz rate my solution.
Thanks.

You might have missed some procedures in between. You can use the user manual that came along which describes how to use the model, in the best way possible, including diagrams. Since it's under warranty, don't attempt any of those repairing measures, if suggested by any other expert. If you are not so confident of doing it yourself, you can contact the dealer, who will provide you a company repairman for free. He will teach you everything fine. If you have a habit of forgetting things, try noting it down somewhere.
Cheers. Thank You.

This is definitely just a setting on the unit but I need to know the make and model of the unit to get it fixed for you. What is the make / model?

Thanks

Hi

Usually, when an oven won't bake, it's because the bake element is burned out. The bake element is the black, pencil- thick tube at the bottom of the oven. When the oven heats, the element glows red. This element has an expected life-span of several years. It may last for only one; it may last for many more. When the element burns out, you need to replace it.

Please accept the solution if it’s helpful. Do get back to us for any further query.
