An oven that won't reach temperature, a burner that clicks but never lights, or uneven baking can throw off dinner and everything after it. Our technicians work on both gas and electric ranges, and carry the parts to fix most issues the same day.
Most oven and range problems come down to one of a few parts. Here's what to watch for before calling.
An oven that runs cool or takes far longer than usual to preheat often points to a failed heating element or sensor.
Repeated clicking without ignition usually means a weak or dirty igniter, especially common on gas ranges.
Food browning unevenly is often a sign the heating element or internal fan isn't distributing heat correctly.
A worn door seal lets heat escape, which forces the oven to work harder and cook unevenly.
This is a safety issue that needs immediate attention — see the safety note below before doing anything else.
Buttons that don't respond or a blank display can point to a failed control or display board.
Here's what usually causes each oven or range problem we see in The Colony, and the typical price range once your technician confirms the exact issue.
| Likely cause | What it means | Typical repair cost* |
|---|---|---|
| Weak or dead igniter (gas) | Lights the burner and opens the gas safety valve — the most common gas range failure. | $100 – $200 |
| Broken heating element (electric) | Bake or broil coil that heats the oven cavity. | $150 – $330 |
| Faulty temperature sensor | Tells the oven when it has reached the set temperature. | $100 – $300 |
| Worn door seal or gasket | Lets heat escape around the door, causing uneven cooking. | $100 – $200 |
| Faulty gas safety valve | Controls gas flow to the burner and must work correctly for safety. | $100 – $300 |
| Failed control or display board | Manages power and settings across the entire range. | $250 – $500 |
*Ranges reflect typical parts-and-labor costs across the industry. Your technician confirms the exact price on-site before starting any repair.
If you smell gas near your range and it isn't lighting, don't attempt to relight it or search for the leak yourself. Turn off the burner, leave the gas supply valve alone, and give the area fresh air.
Here's what happens from your first call to cooking again.
We check the igniter, elements, sensors, and safety valve to find the actual cause.
You get a flat-rate price for the repair before any parts are touched.
Most parts are stocked on the truck, so the fix usually happens the same visit.
We confirm the oven reaches and holds the correct temperature before we call it done.
We regularly service Whirlpool, GE, Samsung, LG, Frigidaire, and KitchenAid ovens and ranges found throughout The Colony.
If your range's burners or hood need attention too, we can often handle it all in one visit.

On electric ovens, this is usually a failed heating element. On gas ovens, a weak igniter that can no longer draw enough current to open the safety valve is the most common cause.
Most repairs run between $100 and $500 depending on the part, plus the standard $60–$95 service call fee. Stovetop repairs like a cracked glass surface can run higher, up to around $600.
A dirty or weak igniter is the most common cause. If the burner cap is clean and properly seated but the igniter still doesn't glow or click, it likely needs to be replaced.
Turn off the burner, ventilate the kitchen, and if the smell is strong or doesn't clear, leave the home and call your gas utility before doing anything else. See the safety guidance above for full steps.
This is often a heating element that's no longer distributing heat evenly, or a convection fan that isn't circulating air properly. A worn door seal that lets heat escape can also be the cause.
Most oven repairs cost a fraction of a new installation, which typically runs $700 to $1,600. Unless you're dealing with repeated failures on a very old unit, repairing is usually the better value.
