Oven & range repair in The Colony, TX
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.
Signs your oven or range needs a repair
Most oven and range problems come down to one of a few parts. Here's what to watch for before calling.
Won't reach temperature
An oven that runs cool or takes far longer than usual to preheat often points to a failed heating element or sensor.
Burner clicks but won't light
Repeated clicking without ignition usually means a weak or dirty igniter, especially common on gas ranges.
Uneven baking
Food browning unevenly is often a sign the heating element or internal fan isn't distributing heat correctly.
Door won't seal or close
A worn door seal lets heat escape, which forces the oven to work harder and cook unevenly.
Gas smell without ignition
This is a safety issue that needs immediate attention — see the safety note below before doing anything else.
Display or control panel unresponsive
Buttons that don't respond or a blank display can point to a failed control or display board.
Common causes and what repairs typically cost
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.
Smell gas? Here's what to do first
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.
- Turn off the burner and any open flames nearby
- Ventilate the kitchen by opening windows or doors
- If the smell is strong or won't clear, leave the home and call your gas utility
- Once it's safe, call us to inspect the igniter and gas safety valve

What homeowners in The Colony most often ask before booking an oven or range repair.
Why won't my oven heat up?+
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.
How much does oven or range repair cost?+
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.
Why won't my burner light?+
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.
What should I do if I smell gas near my stove?+
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.
Why is my oven baking unevenly?+
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.
Is it worth repairing an older oven?+
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.
