If you use your oven frequently, grease and filth may have accumulated on the bottom, sides, and door. Many Whirlpool ovens include a self-cleaning mode, so you can ditch the rubber gloves and cleaning supplies and let the device take care of the grime. After using this function, why won’t my oven heat up?

You may need to restart your Whirlpool oven after it has completed a self-cleaning cycle if it fails to heat up. As with many other electrical devices, turning off the oven is best done by unplugging it from the wall socket, then waiting a few minutes before reconnecting it.

If the self-cleaning cycle of your Whirlpool oven is complete, and you discover that it still won’t heat up, you may need to investigate further to determine whether it incurred any internal damage. The prolonged exposure to high temperatures required for self-cleaning may damage some components of Whirlpool ovens. Look for any signs of fire or damage to the thermal fuse and the wires connecting them.

Why is my Whirlpool oven not heating after it has been self-cleaning? The oven is working, but the left side of the appliance isn’t getting any heat. If you’re wondering why your Whirlpool oven stopped heating after a self-cleaning cycle, there are a few things to consider. 

  • First of all, try restarting it. 
  • It’s possible that your oven shuts off while cleaning and needs a restart before it restarts its heating. 
  • Just wait an hour and then try again to see if this solves your problem. 
  • If this doesn’t work, or if you’re certain it isn’t your appliance malfunctioning, let’s look at your other options.

It’s safe to assume that you haven’t noticed any problems with your oven heating because it has been working fine. However, you have never experienced any problems with your appliance heating before either. In that case, you should check if any fuses or circuit breakers are in the electrical box. This can be easily determined by using an ohm meter to check all the connections inside the unit.

The main components of your ventilation system are electric motors and blower fans. Are these motors and fans working properly? Is there a lot of dust or debris clogging up the vents? You should start by checking the vents and taking the back panel off to get a good view of everything inside. If all your components are in working order, but there is no heat, you should thoroughly clean the inside of your oven.

This is a great time to do it since you don’t need your oven heating right now! It’s also helpful to check all other electrical devices in your house, like television sets, answering machines, and lamps, while they are still unplugged. Does anything else work? If not, try turning off the power at your fuse box before cleaning. Then, when powering your Whirlpool oven back on, see if it starts heating.

If the problem is actually due to a dirty vent system, the heat will come back on when you start cleaning. The most common cause for a non-heating oven is the presence of dust or debris in the ventilation system. By carefully cleaning each component of your ventilation system, you should be able to get your oven working again and resume normal operation.
