The average oven repair can cost around $250. Replacing a bake element can cost as little as $200, while replacing the control panel typically costs more than $600. Replacing a burner igniter is the most common repair — costing an average of $240.
Because replacement ovens are expensive, it’s typically more economical to repair an oven. But if your oven is more than 10 years old, consider replacing it when a major failure occurs, because the oven is nearing the end of its average useful life of 15 years.
When your oven is not heating or is heating unevenly, there are a few potential causes. For electric ovens, the issue could stem from a faulty heating element or a miscalibrated thermostat. In gas ovens, a malfunctioning igniter or burner could be the culprit.
To resolve the issue, it’s best to check the heating element, thermostat, and igniters.
If you’re unable to diagnose the problem, it’s time to call a professional. Sears Home Services technicians can quickly identify the root cause and provide efficient repairs to restore your oven's performance.
Deciding whether to repair or replace your oven depends on factors like its age, frequency of repairs, and performance issues.
If your oven is older and requiring frequent repairs, it may be more cost-effective to replace it with a newer, more energy-efficient model. However, if the oven is still in good condition and the problem is isolated to a specific part, such as a faulty element or control board, a repair may be the best solution.
Sears Home Services can assess the condition of your appliance and offer a clear recommendation based on its age, condition, and the repair costs involved.

Check that the power cord hasn’t been unplugged by mistake.
Make sure that it’s receiving power:
Be sure you are waiting long enough—it can take from 15 to 20 minutes to heat the oven to 350°F.
Keep the door closed during preheat to minimize the time required.
If your oven has a hidden heat element (where the heating element is hidden under the floor of the oven), it may take longer to preheat.
If you have any large items (like baking stones) in the oven, it will take longer to preheat.
Remove any aluminum foil that is being used to line the oven racks or the bottom. Foil can have a significant impact on preheating time and may affect cooking performance.
