      North American ovens run on 240v, they probably just need to replace the heating element

        It’s possible he’s running it at 120v if the electrician did a bad job in the kitchen. 400v ovens are fairly common where I live and can run on 240v in a pinch (even if it’s not recommended).

          Not that I know such things, but I think 120V wouldn’t even fully heat up an oven.

      Ah Yeah maybe, Canadian but North America as a whole is the same standard of 240v for ovens. It could also be I’ve only used lower end ovens lol.

        The only large appliances that aren’t running 220-240v in the US are the refrigerator and dishwasher .Ovens, washing machines, tumble dryers, furnaces, and water heaters are all on 240 volts.

          In Europe, at least my oven is hooked up to 3 phase 400V. That’s more than the 240 max you get in the US.

            Serious question, with that much power do you even pre-heat the oven? At that much power, I imagine you can just put the food in and turn it on.
