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

But my EU oven runs on 380V-16A three-phase, because we in the Netherlands and Germany are special snowflakes.

That’s awesome. You could probably run a proper kiln in place of your oven if you felt like it.

My Finnish oven runs on 380V too, although it’d hard-wired insted of a weird plug.

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.
