Range Repair (Stove and Oven)
Quick answer
A range is a cooktop and an oven in one unit, so one call covers both. Common failures are igniters and spark modules on gas models, elements and infinite switches on electric ones, the oven's bake igniter or element, the temperature sensor and the control board. HomeAdvisor puts cooktop, range and oven repair at $100–$500, with most oven repairs about $130–$310. Call (888) 217-0236 for a technician in your ZIP.
Follow the short menu, then your 5-digit ZIP. The line goes quiet for a few seconds while it connects; stay on. If it does not connect, call once more: companies taking calls change minute to minute.
Signs you need a appliance repair technician
- A burner that clicks but won't light, or an element that won't heat
- The oven won't heat, or heats unevenly
- An error code or a blank display
- The oven door won't close or seal
- Gas smell when a burner or the oven is on
If you smell gas, turn the knobs off, leave the house and call the gas utility from outside. Do not switch lights or appliances on or off.
What to check before you call
- Electric: check the breaker (ranges use a double breaker)
- Gas: confirm other gas appliances work and the range's supply valve is open
- Clean burner caps and ports and make sure they sit flat
- Write down the model number (inside the oven door or drawer) and any error code

Range repair: common questions
Is it worth repairing a range?
Igniters, elements, switches, sensors and gaskets are usually worth replacing. A control board on an older range is closer to a toss-up; ask the technician to price both repair and replacement.
Why do my stove burners work but my oven doesn't heat?
The cooktop and oven have separate parts. On gas ranges the oven bake igniter is the most common failure; on electric ranges it is the bake element or the temperature sensor.
Can one technician fix both the stove and the oven?
YesA range is one appliance, and the technician tests both the cooktop and the oven in the same visit.
