Important Tips for Hisense Models

  • Hisense guides specifically note checking that oven circuit is switched on at fuse board and that oven function/temperature is correctly set.

Possible Causes

Faulty oven igniter

How to Identify: Igniter does not glow when oven is set to bake, or glows weakly without igniting gas within 30–90 seconds.

Part: Oven igniter (hot surface igniter)

No gas supply to the oven

How to Identify: Surface burners working but oven isn’t; service cut-off valve may be closed; no gas flow to oven burner.

Part: Gas supply line or gas shutoff valve

Power supply issue

How to Identify: Oven display or controls are unresponsive; circuit breaker for oven is tripped or powered off. (

Part: Electrical connection/circuit breaker

Faulty temperature sensor/thermostat

How to Identify: Oven may power on but not heat or reach temperature; inaccurate temperature readings.

Part: Temperature sensor/thermostat

Control board or electronics failure

How to Identify: No response to controls and no ignition even with functional igniter and gas supply. Requires multimeter and board testing. (

Part: Control board
