Oven not heating at all
A failed bake element, thermostat, or the selector switch. A visibly blistered or broken element is often the whole story.
Electric cookers fail in fairly predictable ways — elements, thermostats, selector switches and the connections behind them. Naveed Electronics repairs freestanding electric cookers, built-in ovens, ceramic hobs and induction tops across Dubai, and because we are electrical repair specialists by trade this is squarely our area. Same-day across most of the city.
Find your symptom below. Each one tells you the usual cause, so you know roughly what you are dealing with before you call.
A failed bake element, thermostat, or the selector switch. A visibly blistered or broken element is often the whole story.
The thermostat has drifted out of calibration, so the dial no longer matches the real temperature. Testing this needs a probe, not guesswork.
Usually a failed element that has gone to earth, or moisture in a terminal block. Stop using it — repeated tripping is telling you there is a live fault.
On a ceramic hob, a failed radiant element or its energy regulator. On induction, more often a control board or coil fault.
Induction tops shut down on overheat. Usually a blocked cooling fan or a failing power board, and sometimes just unsuitable cookware.
The top needs replacing rather than repairing. A crack lets liquid reach live components underneath, so it should not be used.
Everything below is handled in-house by our own technicians, not subcontracted out.
Heating elements are resistance wire inside an insulated sheath. Over years of heat cycling the insulation degrades, and eventually the element leaks current to earth. Your RCD detects that and trips. This is not a fault you should reset and ignore — it is a genuine earth leakage, and it usually gets worse. We test insulation resistance on each element to identify which one has failed rather than replacing all of them.
Ovens do not usually fail suddenly at temperature; they drift. A thermostat that reads 180°C but delivers 145°C will produce cakes that never set and roasts that take twice as long, and most people blame the recipe long before the appliance. We check actual cavity temperature against the dial with a probe. Often the thermostat is simply worn and inexpensive to replace.
An induction top has no heating element — it has coils and a power board that switch at high frequency. That means most induction faults are electronic, and diagnosis is board-level work rather than swapping a part. It also means ventilation matters: induction tops shut themselves down if the cooling fan is blocked by dust, which in Dubai happens more often than you would expect. Sometimes the fix is a clean, not a board.
Built-in ovens from Bosch, Siemens, Ariston, AEG and Zanussi are standard in newer villas and apartments. They are wired into a fixed supply and slotted into a housing unit, so a repair means safely isolating, drawing the unit out, and refitting it square so the door seals. Doors on these are heavy and hinge-tensioned; refitted carelessly they never seal again and the oven loses heat continuously.
We do not publish a fixed price list, because quoting a number before seeing the fault would be guesswork. Here is what actually moves the price, so you can judge whether a quote you are given is fair.
For electric cookers and ovens, a bake or grill element, a door seal or a hinge is at the cheap end. A thermostat, fan motor or selector switch is mid-range. Induction power boards and ceramic top replacements are the expensive end. If the appliance is tripping the breaker, the element causing the earth fault is usually an inexpensive fix.
How it works in practice: you get a realistic range on the phone, then a fixed quote after diagnosis. Nothing is opened, ordered or charged until you approve that figure.
Call or WhatsApp with the brand, model and what it is doing. You get a realistic price range before anyone leaves the workshop.
A technician reaches you the same day across most of Dubai, carrying the spares that fail most often on your brand.
We diagnose on site and quote an exact figure. Nothing is charged until you say yes.
Most repairs finish in one visit, with a 90-day warranty on parts and labour.

Send us the model number on WhatsApp and we will confirm before you book.
We repair electric cookers and ovens across Dubai and the northern emirates:
That is almost always a heating element that has failed to earth. Stop using the oven and call us — it is a real electrical fault, not a nuisance trip, and it needs the faulty element identified and replaced.
The thermostat has drifted, so the dial temperature and the actual cavity temperature no longer match. We measure the real temperature with a probe and replace or recalibrate as needed.
Yes. Induction faults are usually electronic rather than mechanical, so diagnosis is board-level. Some shutdown faults turn out to be a dust-blocked cooling fan, which is a much cheaper outcome.
No — a cracked top must be replaced, because liquid can reach live components beneath it. We can source and fit replacement tops for most brands and will advise if replacing the appliance makes more sense.
Yes, this is a large part of our work in Dubai villas. We isolate the supply safely, draw the unit out, repair it, and refit it square so the door seals correctly.
An element or a door seal is at the cheap end. Thermostats, fan motors and control boards cost more. We quote a fixed price after diagnosis and you approve before work begins.
