  If your Westinghouse Cookers oven or grill isn't working, there are several potential causes. First, ensure that the power is switched on and that the household fuse hasn't blown, and the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. Check the control settings and reset them if necessary. Make sure the clock is set, or if applicable, deactivate DEMO Mode or Child Lock. Remove any foil or trays from the bottom of the oven, and ensure the timer is set to manual mode.

  If the flames on your Westinghouse Cookers aren't staying on when you release the knob, make sure you're holding the knob down long enough in the ‘High’ position for the flame safeguard to engage (about 5 seconds). Also, ensure the knob is set between the ‘High’ and ‘Low’ positions.

  If your Westinghouse Cookers oven isn't heating enough, it might be due to using too much water when cooking; try reducing the amount of water. Also, check if the oven light is working and replace or tighten the lamp if necessary. Ensure that the flame ports are not blocked or wet; clean or dry them if needed. Lastly, dry or clean the ignition spark plugs if they are wet or dirty.
