Home > Oven Repair > Oven Not Heating

Whether it is stone cold, painfully slow to preheat, or heating 50 degrees off from what the dial says, an oven that will not heat properly has a very short list of causes — and they split cleanly between gas and electric models.

Safe Checks You Can Do Yourself

When It Is Time to Call a Technician

Igniters, elements and sensors are same-visit replacements for us. Call when the oven is cold, slow, or uneven after the checks above — and stop using a gas oven that smells strongly of gas unburned. We test under load, because a weak igniter can look perfect when cold.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my oven take forever to preheat but eventually works?

That is the textbook weak igniter pattern on gas ovens. It will get worse until it fails completely — replacing it now restores normal preheats and removes the gas smell.

My oven burns food on the bottom but the top is raw. Why?

Uneven heat — a failing bake element, a sensor touching the oven wall, or a door gasket leaking heat. All are checkable and repairable; we probe-test the real temperature pattern.

Can I still use the broiler if the bake side failed?

Often yes on electric ovens with separate elements — a fair short-term workaround. On gas ovens sharing an igniter system, get it checked first.

Do you give the price before starting the repair?

Always. The technician first diagnoses the problem, then gives you one flat quote. We only start the repair after you approve the price, and the quote does not change at the end.
