# La Cornue oven: an electric oven that does nothing, and the maker’s three questions before anything else

### What the appliance is actually doing

For an oven that will not come on at all, the guide asks three things in order: is the power on, is the range supply on at the circuit breaker, and — if you are using the multifunction oven — have you actually set a cooking function. The third one is not condescending. A multifunction oven with a temperature set and no function selected sits there doing nothing, which is exactly what a dead oven looks like, and on a range with two different ovens it is an easy thing to get wrong.

### Quoted rather than interpreted

> 
Is the power on? If not there may be something wrong with the power supply. … Is the range supply on at the circuit breaker?

From the CornuFé 110 dual fuel installation and user guide (U107101-21e), in a User Guide & Service Manual downloaded from La Cornue’s own site. Nothing on this page is decoded beyond what that sentence says.

### Which machines this one applies to

La Cornue induction cooktops and rangetops, and the electric and multifunction ovens. La Cornue publishes three codes in the whole of its US documentation and its Château guide carries no troubleshooting section, so a behavior missing from this archive is not proof that your appliance cannot do it — the maker simply never wrote a table for it. What its guides do document, they document in sentences, and those are on this site under the maker’s own wording. The model number, and which top the range was ordered with, settle what any of it means.

### What to do about it

- Check that a cooking function is selected, not just a temperature. This is the maker’s own third question and it costs nothing.
- Check the breaker for the range.
- Check any isolating switch, which on a fitted kitchen can be behind a cabinet door.
- Confirm which oven. On a dual-fuel range the gas side has its own separate failure list.
- If the supply is proved and a function is set, have it measured — element, sensor and control, in that order.

### Where this goes next

The job this usually becomes is [diagnostic visit](/services/diagnostic-visit/), and every one of those pages carries a starting figure and the reasons that move it. If it turns out to be nothing — and on this make a real share of these are modes rather than problems — the visit ends there and you pay the diagnostic and nothing else, or call [(305) 614-3699](tel:+13056143699) and describe what the display is doing before booking anything.
