Troubleshoot A Magic Chef Oven 31213wav

Part of the Maytag Corporation, Magic Chef makes consumer-grade appliances intended for at-home use, including ovens. The Magic Chef 31213WAV oven is a gas range with a stove and oven. At some point, your oven may experience issues that cause it to not operate as intended. Instead of calling an authorized service technician immediately, troubleshoot your Magic Chef oven problem on your own. It may save you the service call.


Instructions


1. Remove and then reinsert the plug into your wall outlet if there is no power. If the plug is not securely in the outlet, the oven will not power on.


2. Test the power outlet you are using by plugging another small appliance, like a toaster, into the outlet to see if it works. If not, your problem is the outlet and not the oven power supply.


3. Check your fuse box for a blown fuse or your breaker box for a tripped breaker. Either can result in no power to the oven.


4. Look at the thermostat knob to make sure you have selected a temperature.


5. Reach into the cold oven to tighten the bulb if it is not working and is loose. Replace the bulb if it is not loose, as it may simply be burned out.


6. Move your food to a lower rack if you are broiling food and it is causing excessive smoke. This can happen if the food is too close to the broiler.
