Expert Range Repair

Our technicians have completed more than 113,000 range repairs since 2020.

Range Repairs

An oven that won't heat and a burner that won't light are two different problems, even though they share an appliance. People tend to assume the worst when the oven quits, but a large share of our range calls come down to a switch or a regulator. Oven control boards are next. The heating elements themselves, top and bottom, come up less often than the parts that control them.

What actually breaks on a range

We analysed our last 12 months of range repairs where a replacement part was needed. These are the ones that came up most often.

Repair 12 months PartsLabour
Element switches and regulatorsA burner that won't heat or hold a setting while the rest work fine ~5,350 $70–$195$115–$145
Oven control boardOven won't heat, won't hold temperature, or throws an error code ~1,700 $155–$295$125–$130

Where these numbers come from

Repair counts and parts prices come from our own completed jobs over the last 12 months, not from an industry estimate. Ranked by how often each repair needed a replacement part. Many service calls are resolved without one.

Both figures are typical. Individual jobs can run higher, and parts prices vary by model, supplier and availability. You get a written quote before any repair work begins.

Prices exclude the $129.95 diagnostic visit fee and taxes.

Common solutions to prevent range issues

✓ Clean Burners & Ports Regularly

Remove food debris from gas ports and electric coil connections so heat and ignition stay consistent.

✓ Wipe Spills While Still Warm

Baked-on spills are far harder to remove and can affect element performance over time.

✓ Check The Door Gasket

A worn oven door seal lets heat escape, so cooking takes longer and results turn out uneven.

✓ Avoid Harsh Chemical Cleaners

Abrasive cleaners can damage knobs, igniters, and glass surfaces; stick to manufacturer-approved products.

✓ Watch Your Flame Colour

A gas burner should burn a steady blue; yellow or uneven flames are worth addressing early.

✓ Book An Annual Inspection

A yearly check catches worn igniters, loose connections, or calibration drift before they cause a breakdown.

Questions about range repair?

Most popular questions we get asked.

Is it safe to use the self-clean cycle, and why does the door stay locked so long?

Self-clean locks the door on purpose. The cycle runs the cavity past 800°F, and the latch stays engaged for 30 to 90 minutes afterward while everything cools down. On some models it is closer to two hours. If the oven is stone cold and the door still will not release, the latch itself has seized, and that is a service call. The cycle is safe to use, but we suggest using it sparingly. Self-clean is behind a good share of the control board and door latch repairs we get called out for.

Is it worth repairing my range, or should I replace it?

Two things decide it. What is broken, and how old the range is. If the repair comes to more than roughly half the price of a comparable new range, and you are past the halfway point of its expected life, replacing makes more sense. Figure 12 to 15 years for a typical range with normal care. A new one lands somewhere between $800 and $2,500. Parts for the repairs we do most often run $40 to $295, before labour and diagnosis. Cheap repairs are worth doing at any age. The expensive end is a judgment call, and your technician can give you a straight answer once the fault is confirmed.

My oven runs hotter or cooler than the dial says - is that normal?

Some drift is normal. An oven cycles above and below the set point rather than holding one steady number, so a 20 or 30 degree swing is not a fault, and most control panels let you recalibrate that much yourself. A gap of 50°F or more is different. If recalibrating does not close it, or the oven cooks unevenly regardless of what you set, you are looking at a temperature sensor on the way out. No setting fixes that.

Is a yellow or orange gas flame dangerous - does it mean carbon monoxide?

Orange flicker is usually dust or cleaning residue burning off. Minerals from a humidifier do the same thing. Food debris in the burner ports is the most common cause of all, and cleaning the ports out normally restores a steady blue flame. A flame that stays yellow or orange after cleaning is a different matter. It means the gas is not burning completely, and incomplete combustion can produce carbon monoxide. Shut the burner off and have it looked at. Do the same immediately if you smell gas.

My oven turned off but it's still hot - is that a problem?

Residual heat is normal. A modern oven holds temperature well, and the cooling fan will often run 30 to 45 minutes after you have shut it off. Glowing elements are not normal. Neither is an oven that is clearly still heating or stays dangerously hot for hours on end. Kill the breaker and get it looked at. That pattern usually means a relay stuck closed on the control board, and a relay that will not open is a real fire risk.
