Is the oven refusing a selection or failing to heat?

A control that will not accept a programme differs from an accepted programme producing no heat. Separating those steps makes the enquiry more useful.

Oven illustrative appliance setting
Illustrative appliance scene; not an exact manufacturer model.

Describe the response

State what appears on the display after selection and whether a fan or indicator starts. Include timer or lock symbols as seen.

Leave diagnosis open

Settings, switching and heating faults may produce overlapping results. Assessment can examine the actual selected function and model rather than assuming that every cold oven needs an element.

A useful distinction

A temperature displayed after selection may simply be the requested value. Say what the appliance actually did afterwards, since a normal-looking number cannot establish that the cavity reached the chosen heat.
