If the electronic clock on your Westinghouse Cookers is flashing, check your household power supply and fuses. Then, reset the time of day or turn it off.
What to do if my Westinghouse WLE547WA oven, grill, or hob is not working?
If your Westinghouse Cookers oven, grill, or hob isn't working, start by checking if the electricity is turned on and inspect your fuses and circuit breaker. For gas-only models, ensure the gas supply is on, the cap/crown is correctly fitted, and the flame ports and ignition areas are clean and dry. You may also need to dry or clean the ignition electrodes. Finally, replace or tighten light globes if fitted.
Why does my Westinghouse WLE547WA Cookers smell like it's burning?

If you notice a persistent gas smell – do not operate the appliance and call service 131349.

Why is the gas oven burner flame uneven in my Westinghouse WLE547WA?
The uneven flame in your Westinghouse Cookers gas oven burner does not affect cooking results. From a cold start, the oven burner flame will be higher on the left-hand side. After reaching the set temperature, the flame will become even.
Why is my Westinghouse Kitchen Appliance cooking unevenly?
Uneven cooking in your Westinghouse Kitchen Appliance can occur for several reasons. It might be due to an incorrect shelf position; try placing the food in the center of the oven. An oven tray that's too large can also cause this, so consider using different trays or dishes. Make sure trays are in the center. Uneven airflow can be another cause, so rotate the food during cooking. Also, removing the grill tray from the oven during bake modes can help, as it might be affecting the thermostat.
What to do if my baked products are too brown on the bottom in my Westinghouse Kitchen Appliance?
If your baked goods are browning too much on the bottom in your Westinghouse Kitchen Appliance, there are several potential causes. First, ensure you are using the correct size baking tins, as tins that are too large can cause this issue. Dark metal or glass baking tins can also contribute, so switch to shiny, light-colored tins or lower the oven temperature by 10°C. Check that the food is not positioned too low in the oven; try cooking it one shelf higher. Avoid opening the oven door frequently during baking, waiting until at least half the cooking time has passed. Also, verify that the baking temperature isn't too high and remove the grill tray from the oven on bake modes. If it is too high, lower it.
Why are my baked products too brown on top in my Westinghouse Kitchen Appliance?
If your baked products are browning too quickly on top in your Westinghouse Kitchen Appliance, a few factors could be responsible. Make sure you preheat the oven before baking. Also, ensure you're using baking tins that are the correct size for your recipe. When placing tins in the oven, stagger them, leaving at least 3cm between the tins and the oven walls. Finally, ensure that the products are evenly sized and spaced on the trays.
Why have my cakes fallen in the center while using my Westinghouse Kitchen Appliance?
If your cakes are falling in the center while baking in your Westinghouse Kitchen Appliance, it could be due to several reasons. The baking temperature might be too low, so try raising it. Insufficient baking time can also cause this, so increase the cooking time. Ensure that the proportions of ingredients are correct for the recipe by checking the recipe. Avoid opening the oven door too early during baking; wait until the last quarter of the cooking time.
