These are the faults we are called out for most often. Each one is a repair we complete regularly — in most cases in a single visit, with the part already on the van. If your symptom is not listed, describe it when you book and we will tell you what it is likely to be.
Oven will not heat
Likely cause: On a gas oven this is the igniter far more often than anything else — it weakens with age until it no longer draws enough current to open the gas valve, so it glows but never lights. On electric, a failed bake element (usually visible as a break or blister) or a relay on the control board.
What we do: Igniter and element replacement are both routine single-visit repairs.
Typical repair: $150 – $340
Bakes unevenly or takes far too long
Likely cause: A temperature sensor drifting out of spec, a bake or broil element only partially working, or a convection fan that has stopped circulating.
What we do: We measure actual cavity temperature against the setpoint rather than trusting the display.
Typical repair: $140 – $320
Runs much hotter or colder than the dial says
Likely cause: Sensor drift or a calibration that has wandered. Most ovens can be recalibrated in the control menu; if it is out by more than about 50°F the sensor itself has failed.
What we do: Calibration is often a no-parts fix. Sensor replacement is inexpensive when it is needed.
Typical repair: $120 – $280
Burner clicks continuously but will not light
Likely cause: Moisture or spillover under the burner cap keeping the spark module firing, a cracked igniter, or a burner cap sitting misaligned after cleaning.
What we do: Often resolved by drying and reseating the cap correctly; otherwise the igniter or spark module is replaced.
Typical repair: $120 – $290
Door locked after a self-clean cycle
Likely cause: Self-clean runs the cavity hot enough that the door locks for safety, and a failed lock motor or a control board stuck mid-cycle leaves it that way. Sometimes a thermal cut-off has tripped and the board will not release until it is reset.
What we do: We release the door without breaking the lock assembly, then fix whatever left it stuck.
Typical repair: $140 – $330
Control panel dead or buttons unresponsive
Likely cause: A failed membrane touch panel, a control board fault, or a blown internal fuse. On a double oven it is worth noting whether both cavities are affected — that points at the board rather than the panel.
What we do: Panel and board are tested separately so you are not paying for the wrong one.
Typical repair: $180 – $420
Broiler does not work but the oven does
Likely cause: A failed broil element, or the relay that drives it on the control board. The bake circuit working proves supply and sensor are fine, which narrows it considerably.
What we do: Element replacement in most cases; board-level relay failure is diagnosed before quoting.
Typical repair: $140 – $330
Price bands are typical all-in figures for parts and labor on this type of repair and are not a quote.
Diagnostic starts at $89 and is credited against the repair if you go ahead. You always get a firm price before work begins.
