Stove top hot when oven on

When I use my oven the top of the stove gets so hot you can't touch it. Is that normal? Or is it because my oven door doesnt quite close all the way? I worry about the kids getting severly hurt.

There is a vent tube that generally goes up to a back burner where you can use it for keeping something warm. There may be a problem with that tube falling out??? and all the heat is venting to under the stove top. Look fer it

Have a Whirlpool oven ,model,w10221843a,has power but wont heat....help! What could be the problem?

I had similar issue with my electric stove as well. The model of the stove is the same as the one that us mentioned above on the beginning of the this discussion. The issue I had on my stove was that the display shows time and no error code how ever the oven top light indicator comes on but the oven won't heat up. Here are the steps I took to fix the issue: First I unplugged the stove and used a multimeter to verify that it has 240Volt coming. It checked good for 240v. Second, I opened up the terminal on the stove where the plug connects, there I discovered one of the hot leg has melted and broken thus only 120v getting to the stove. I repaired the broken wire and verified 240v coming in the stove and stove was fixed for good. I further investigated what caused the wire to melt and broken, my finding was exposed hot wire shorted to the stove body (ground). Hope this helps. Thanks for reading

Did a cleaning on the stove. in middle of cleaning the stove started to smoke so they hit the off button. Now the stove wont open. How do we get the stove oven door to open?

All you have to do it wait and it will unlock itself. It just gets very hot so the stoves are made to seal themselves until cool!

Whenever I use the oven, the top of my stove gets very hot. More than it normally does. My stove is an inglis, about ten years old.

That happens with age,unfortunately.You can replace the insulation in the oven.It is not very difficult,but takes some time.

Here is a link to their site,you will find the parts you nee there.Or at a local dealer.

My Inglis stove appears to have no insulation between the inner and outer panels of the oven door. Consequently the stove becomes very hot when in use and is dangerous if small children are present. Is...

I am looking at an Inglis range, approximately $479.00 and am wondering if the insulation in the oven door is less than a more expensive stove would have.

Top of stove hot when oven on

I suspect this may have been happening for quite some time and you may never have noticed it. MANY ovens vent near one of the stove eyes. If you lift the cooktop for 'servicing', I bet you see the little vent. It is usually in the back right underneath the cooking surface. Check to make sure it is not blocked, clogged or has rusted out/off.

Pilot Light Wont Light

Take off the top cover plate inside the oven. Now with the door open turn the oven on does the hot surface glow? If it doesn't glow then you have a bad igniter and needs to be replaced. What ever you do don't touch the surface of the new igniter human oil will shorten the life of the igniter. now if the hot surface glows then the gas valve is bad and need to be replaced. I'm betting it's the hot surface.

Oven and stove top not getting hot.

The most probable cause is that the heating elements are getting 110V instead of 220V. Check the voltage to the heating elements.
