Oven & stove repair

Oven not holding temperature in Philadelphia.

An oven that drifts is usually the sensor, which is small. One that never gets there is a different fault. Three questions below.

Three things to check before you book.

  • Does it heat up fine and then drift, or never reach temperature at all?
  • How old is it?
  • What brand is it?
The straightforward case

Heating then drifting is usually the temperature sensor, which is a small part and a quick job. Never reaching temperature at all is more often the igniter or the element.

Not sure, or it does not match

Text me the model number, the age and what it is doing before you book. That tells me which part to bring, which is the difference between one visit and two.

Why it happens

Why your oven won't hold temperature.

The usual culprits, in plain words. I confirm which one it is before quoting anything.
01

Temperature sensor

The probe inside the cavity is what tells the board how hot it actually is. Once it drifts, the oven regulates to the wrong number, and your baking is usually the first thing that tells you.
02

Bake element or igniter

A weakened element, or a gas igniter that's slow opening the valve, means the oven gets there but can't hold it. Different fuel, same result: heat that doesn't stay put.
03

Control board

Boards are the expensive part, so this is the last thing I suspect, not the first. It has to be proven before I'll ever replace one.

How much does it cost to fix a oven that won't hold temperature?

Every visit starts with a flat $89 diagnostic, and that $89 is applied to the repair. Most repairs of this kind start from $285, including parts, and every job is backed 90 days. If it is not worth fixing, I tell you that instead of selling you a repair.
