Ten repairs we take on. Each repair has its own page: what the work covers, where it sits on the cost scale, and the point at which an aging range is no longer worth spending on. Familiar brands. Expert care. ## For the brands in your kitchen. Independent repair service. Not affiliated with, authorized or endorsed by any manufacturer.

[All 32 brands](https://rangerepair.center/brands/) ## The work itself In the order it gets done: the cheapest cause first, and the expensive answer at the bottom where it usually belongs. Diagnostic fee ### Diagnostic visit A visit that runs the burners, the elements and the oven in front of you and names the failed part before anything is ordered. Cost: low ### Burner and igniter repair Gas burners that will not light, keep ticking or burn with a weak, yellow or uneven flame, traced to the igniter, the spark switch, the module or the burner itself. Cost: low to moderate ### Surface element and glass top repair Electric zones that stay cold, run too hot or will not switch off, and cracked or damaged glass on radiant and induction models. Cost: low ### Bake and broil elements An electric range oven that stays cold, heats only from above or below, or will not broil, traced to the elements, their terminals or the relay that switches them. Cost: low to moderate ### Oven igniter and gas valve repair A gas range oven that is slow to light, never lights or will not broil, traced to the glowing igniter, the oven safety valve or the burner. Cost: low ### Temperature sensor and thermostat repair A range oven that bakes hot, bakes slow, takes forever to preheat or posts a sensor code, traced to the sensor probe, the thermostat or the calibration. Cost: moderate to highest ### Induction board and coil repair Induction zones that ignore the pan, cut out, post error codes or stay dead, traced to the coil, its sensors, the power board or the cooling fan. Cost: low ### Door hinge, gasket and lock repair An oven door that will not close, sits crooked, leaks heat, or stays locked after self-clean, traced to the hinges, the gasket, the glass or the lock. Cost: moderate ### Knobs, switches and controls Knobs that spin or crack, touch keys that do nothing, blank displays, clocks that reset and control boards that switch the wrong thing. Cost: low to moderate ### Convection fan repair A convection oven on a range that bakes unevenly, rattles, squeals or never starts its fan, traced to the motor, the blade or the convection element. Before you book ### What each of these usually costs Bands rather than prices, because nobody can quote a figure before the range has been looked at — and the diagnostic visit that decides it, set against the repair. 10 repairs Cheapest first Diagnostic visit Read the cost guide ## What a repair usually costs. A useful way to weigh a range repair is to price the new range you would actually buy, not the cheapest one on the floor. A freestanding range is easier to swap than a built-in appliance, but a slide-in or pro-style model has to match the counter gap, the gas or electrical hookup and often the backsplash, and a new one can bring a gas fitter or an electrician along with it. That is why most igniter, element, sensor and hinge repairs are worth doing, and why replacement usually wins only when a board is no longer made, the glass top and a board fail together on an older range, or rust has reached the oven body. [Diagnostic visit](https://rangerepair.center/services/diagnostic-visit/): A range is priced after it has been run. [Read the full cost guide](https://rangerepair.center/cost/) | Repair | Relative cost | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | | [Gas burner igniter, spark switch or burner head](https://rangerepair.center/services/burner-and-igniter-repair/) | low | Cleaning ports and reseating a cap costs almost nothing in parts. A new igniter, spark switch or burner head is a small part, and the spark module that feeds them all sits a little higher. | | [Surface element, switch or glass top](https://rangerepair.center/services/surface-element-and-glass-top-repair/) | low to moderate | A coil, a receptacle or an infinite switch stays near the bottom. A radiant element under the glass is modest, while a whole new glass top is the part that carries this job toward the middle. | | [Bake or broil element](https://rangerepair.center/services/bake-and-broil-element-repair/) | low | The most frequent part on an electric range oven. A hidden bake element under the floor panel adds some time, and scorched terminals behind the rear wall are replaced in the same visit. | | [Gas oven igniter, safety valve or burner](https://rangerepair.center/services/oven-igniter-and-gas-valve-repair/) | low to moderate | A weak igniter is the usual answer and sits at the low end. A safety valve or a broil burner costs more, and every opened gas joint is leak-tested before the job is closed. | | [Oven temperature sensor, thermostat or calibration](https://rangerepair.center/services/temperature-sensor-and-thermostat-repair/) | low | An offset adjustment needs no part. A replacement sensor is inexpensive; a capillary thermostat on a pro-style range takes longer to route and sits slightly higher. | | [Induction power board, coil or cooling fan](https://rangerepair.center/services/induction-board-and-coil-repair/) | moderate to highest | A cooling fan or a pan sensor stays in the middle. A power board, or a board and a coil together on a premium induction range, is one of the costliest repairs a range takes. | | [Door hinges, gasket, glass or lock](https://rangerepair.center/services/door-hinge-gasket-and-lock-repair/) | low | A gasket or a pair of hinges is a short job. Door glass means taking the door apart, and a self-clean lock motor with its switches sits at the upper edge of this band. | | [Knobs, keypad or control board](https://rangerepair.center/services/knobs-switches-and-controls/) | moderate | A knob or a spark switch is minor. A keypad or ribbon cable lands in the middle, and a main control board, especially one that also runs the zones on top, is the priciest part in this row. | | [Convection fan, blade or ring element](https://rangerepair.center/services/convection-fan-repair/) | low to moderate | A loose blade or a ring element stays near the low end. A motor reached only by sliding a heavy range out of its opening moves the job toward the middle of the scale. | ## Start from what you noticed Most people arrive knowing the symptom, not the repair.

Which repair should I book? The diagnostic visit covers that case. Say what the range is doing, and the technician finds which of these repairs it needs before a part is ordered or a price is given. ### My range needs two repairs. Can both happen on one visit? Yes, and on a range they often come in pairs: a boil-over that soaked one igniter may have reached the one beside it, and an oven door that no longer seals can push heat up into the controls. Each repair is priced separately, and you approve each one. ### Why do the range repairs show no prices? Because the same job can be quick on a freestanding range that rolls out easily and slow on a heavy pro-style model wedged between stone counters. The cost page places each job in a band against the others, and yours is priced once the diagnosis is finished. ### Does the technician bring the part on the first trip? Igniters, coil and radiant elements, bake elements and oven sensors usually are, and a model number given when you book improves the chances. A glass top, an induction board or a part for a rarer make is ordered once the diagnosis confirms it, which means a second trip to install it. --- **[Read on the site: Range Repair Services — What We Do | RangeRepair.center](https://rangerepair.center/services/)** **[Book a visit with RangeRepair.center](https://rangerepair.center/schedule/)**
