3. Wires

If the thermal cut out and heating element aren’t faulty but your Gorenje oven is not working, you should check the wires next. Take off the oven’s back panel and inspect the wires connected to the terminals of the heating element. If the wires appear burnt or cut in any way, they may be the cause of the problem. Contact a technician to replace them.

4. Control Board

A faulty control board is the final possible reason why your Gorenje oven is not working. The control board sends voltage to the oven’s heating element. When the heating element receives the voltage, it turns on and starts to heat. If the control board fails, it won’t send the voltage needed for the heating element to operate. If your Gorenje oven is not working but all the components above aren’t faulty, you should replace the control board.
