Water isn't boiling?

[Doomstrike53]

Filled up both a cooking pot and a kettle, put them into the oven and turned it on. More than 3 in-game hours have passed and still no boiling for either.

Also bonus noob question: When trying to open a window sometimes it'll make a noise louder than the usual and not open no matter how many attempts. I've got the burglar trait, what's going on here?

I made a copy of my save and went to sleep to see what would happen. ~6 hours later and it's still just sitting in the oven doing nothing.

The power gets turned off some time between 0-30 days, so that's my guess as to why your oven's not working.

That means the lock broke. The window won't be able to be opened from either inside or out.

If you see your character's is not able to open the window after quite a few attempts, it's probably best to give up and find another window to try and enter.

Items do indeed turn red, and it's day 1 so the power is still on. I uninstalled all my mods except for a cheat mod to get a cooking pot for some testing. I verified my game integrity through steam, I set game time to the default 1 hour/24 since I was on 2 hours before, all of this was on a new save in case there was something going on with the old one. Nothing seems to work. Only thing left I can think of is a clean reinstall.

the item being red means its hot, it is boiled

What kind of oven is it? I have my first antique oven installed in my game and it will not heat anything up (food, water, etc). There is plenty of fuel and it lights up just fine. I figured it was a one off glitch, but maybe it is an inconsistent bug.

Well it looks like I get the idiot award of the month! I even did a clean reinstall and everything, losing all my settings, saves, etc. Time to rebuild my game and start a fresh character.

Question. Did you turn the microwave if not. There could be black out already. If you putted there in glass bottle that could be problem. If i remember corectly plastic bottles are cleaned in microwave and glass bottles in fire pit or camp fire.
There is no bug in cleaning water at this build and this thread is from 2022. So its possibly from older version.
If you need clean water you can get it from any plumbing even after water shut off there is 10 units of water. If there isnt this option. You need water source such as lake or rainbarel. Make campfire or grab any grill or barbecue. Check the fuel. Get glass bottles kettles or cooking pots and even a bucket. Get tainted water...light a fire.... put it there and wolala
