Oven won't heat at all
Likely cause: Electric ovens: a burned-out bake element, often with visible blistering or a break, or a blown thermal fuse. Gas ovens: an igniter that still glows but has grown too weak to open the gas valve.
The fix: Replace the element, fuse, or igniter. These are the bread-and-butter oven repairs and almost always one-visit fixes.
Typical cost: $120 - $300.
Heats unevenly or runs hot or cold
Likely cause: A drifting temperature sensor is the usual reason cookies burn on one rack and stay raw on another. A worn element or calibration that has wandered over the years does it too.
The fix: Replace the sensor or element and recalibrate the oven against a known-good thermometer.
Typical cost: $120 - $250.
Gas burner won't light
Likely cause: Food-clogged burner ports, a wet or failed spark igniter, or the spark module feeding it. Endless clicking with no flame usually means the igniter or a dirty burner head.
The fix: Clean the burner assembly or replace the igniter or spark module.
Typical cost: $120 - $250.
Electric burner stays cold
Likely cause: The burner element itself, the receptacle it plugs into, or the infinite switch behind the knob.
The fix: Replace the failed part. Coil burners are quick. Radiant elements under a glass top take a little longer but are routine.
Typical cost: $120 - $250.
Oven door won't close or seal
Likely cause: Worn hinges, a torn door gasket, or a door lock stuck after a self-clean cycle. A door that will not seal wrecks oven temperatures and wastes energy.
The fix: Replace the hinges or gasket, or free and replace the lock assembly.
Typical cost: $120 - $300.
Self-clean locked the door and won't release
Likely cause: Self-clean runs the oven far hotter than cooking ever does. That heat commonly kills the door lock motor or pops a thermal fuse, leaving the door locked after the cycle ends.
The fix: Replace the lock assembly or fuse, and check for other heat damage while the oven is open.
Typical cost: $150 - $300.
Broiler won't work
Likely cause: Electric: the broil element at the top of the oven cavity. Gas: the broil igniter. Same failure pattern as the bake side, different part.
The fix: Replace the broil element or igniter.
Typical cost: $120 - $300.
Control panel dead or flashing an error
Likely cause: Power surges and years of heat age the electronic control board and the keypad membrane. An error code usually points at which one.
The fix: Replace the board or keypad. On older ranges the technician prices this against replacement honestly, because boards are the expensive end of oven repair.
Typical cost: $200 - $400.
Smell Gas? Stop Here First
A faint whiff when a burner takes a second to light is normal. A gas smell when nothing is on is not. Do not flip switches, do not troubleshoot. Get everyone outside, then call your gas utility's 24-hour emergency line from outside the house. Repair scheduling comes after the utility says the home is safe. No oven is worth the risk.
Check This First (It Might Be Free)
Three of the most common oven calls end up being one of these:
- Delay-start or a lock mode got switched on. If the oven refuses to heat but the display looks alive, check the clock and mode settings first.
- Ranges run on a 240-volt double breaker. If the cooktop works but the oven does not, or the other way around, check whether half the breaker tripped.
- Gas burner clicking without lighting right after a cleaning: the burner cap is probably not seated square. Lift it and set it back down flat.
Repair or Replace Your Range?
Ranges are long-lived. 13 to 15 years is normal and plenty go longer. Elements, igniters, sensors, and switches are cheap, common parts, so most failures are clearly worth fixing.
The judgment call is a failed control board on a range past 12 years, where the part alone can approach half the cost of a new unit. You get both numbers at diagnosis and a straight recommendation, not a sales pitch.

Oven, Stove & Range Repair Questions, Answered
Do you repair both gas and electric ranges?
Yes. Gas, electric, and dual-fuel, in freestanding, slide-in, wall oven, and cooktop configurations, across all major brands.
Why does my gas oven igniter glow but the oven never heats?
Igniters weaken with age. A worn one still glows but no longer draws enough current to open the safety gas valve, so no gas flows and nothing lights. Replacing the igniter fixes it.
My oven temperature seems off compared to years ago. Can that be fixed?
Usually yes. The temperature sensor drifts as it ages, and ovens can also be recalibrated. If your bakes started failing gradually rather than all at once, the sensor is the prime suspect.
Is using self-clean bad for my oven?
Honest answer: it is the hardest thing you can do to an oven. It runs far hotter than cooking and is the single most common trigger for door lock and thermal fuse failures. If you use it, avoid doing it for the first time the day before a holiday dinner.
How long does an oven repair take?
Most are finished in a single visit of one to two hours. Elements and igniters for the major brands ride on the truck.
Should I turn the oven off at the breaker until the technician arrives?
If it is sparking, tripping the breaker, or behaving erratically, yes, kill the breaker. If you smelled gas, skip the breaker and follow the gas steps above. Otherwise simply leaving it off is fine.
