Likely causes (Logik freestanding cooker electric):

Problem summary

Your LOGIK freestanding electric cooker is not heating the oven, or is blowing out cold air instead. This is a common fault pattern we see across the LOGIK range, and it usually points to one of three electrical or mechanical components that need professional attention.

Likely causes

Based on nearly 90 similar repair jobs, the heating element is the most frequent culprit (accounting for roughly 54% of cases). The cooling fan or its controls account for about 18% of faults, and the oven thermostat for around 7%. Less common issues can involve wiring or control switches.

If your oven is actively blowing out cold air rather than simply staying cool, this suggests the fan is running but the heating element either isn't firing or has failed.

Why this needs an engineer

All three of the likely causes—heating element, thermostat, and fan assembly—involve mains electrical components or sealed refrigeration systems. The heating element and thermostat both require soldering or careful electrical work; the fan and its safety controls need diagnostic equipment to rule out other faults.

Attempting to replace these parts without the right tools and training risks electric shock, damage to the cooker's safety interlocks, and potential gas or electrical hazards.

What to check before you call

When to call SMC Services

Book a repair visit if your oven won't heat or is producing cold air. Our engineers carry diagnostic equipment to test the heating element, thermostat, and fan control, and can usually replace faulty parts on the day. If you're in Northern Ireland, SMC Services can usually book a repair within 2-3 working days.

Step by step

  1. Visual check: plug and controls. Ensure the cooker is plugged in and switched on at the wall socket. Check that the oven temperature dial or display is set to a reasonable baking temperature (e.g., 180 °C), not the off position.
  2. Listen and observe for 5 minutes. After setting the temperature, listen for the fan to start and feel the oven exterior for any warmth after a few minutes. If the fan is loud but no heat emerges, the heating element is likely at fault.
  3. Check your home's circuit breaker. Go to your consumer unit and look for a tripped RCD or circuit breaker labelled for the cooker. If it's in the off position, switch it back on. If it trips again immediately, do not reset it again—this indicates an electrical fault.
  4. Make a note of the model number and fault pattern. Find the model number on the cooker's rating plate (usually inside the oven or on the back). Write down the exact fault: e.g., 'oven does not heat; fan blows cold air; set to 180 °C for 10 minutes, no heat'.

Frequently asked questions

Could a blown fuse be the problem?
It's worth checking your home's consumer unit (fuse box) to see if the circuit for your cooker has tripped. If it has, reset it and try the oven again. If it trips immediately, this suggests a fault that needs an engineer—do not keep resetting it.
Is it safe to use the cooker hob while the oven isn't working?
If only the oven isn't heating and the hob works normally, the hob circuits are likely separate and safe to use. However, if you're unsure or if the fault started after a power surge, it's safer to avoid using the cooker until it's been checked.
Why is the fan running if the heating element is broken?
Modern electric cookers run the cooling fan automatically when the oven reaches temperature, to prevent overheating of the exterior and electronics. If the fan runs but no heat builds up, the heating element has likely failed.
How long does a heating element usually last?
Heating elements typically last many years with normal use, but they can fail prematurely if the cooker has been used heavily, if there have been power surges, or if moisture has entered the oven cavity.
Will I need a new cooker, or can it be repaired?
Heating elements, thermostats, and fans are all replaceable parts. An engineer can usually repair your cooker for significantly less than a replacement unit. We'll assess the fault and give you a repair quote before proceeding.
