Why isn't my oven getting hot?

An electric oven that won't heat usually has a burnt-out bake or broil element, a bad thermostat, or a control fault, while a gas oven most often has a weak igniter that can't open the gas valve. Our Howard County techs can sort it out.

Why isn't my gas oven lighting?

The igniter is the most likely cause. Because it has to heat up enough to trigger the gas valve, a weak or aging one leaves you hearing gas with no flame. It's an inexpensive, common repair for Columbia and Howard County homes.

Why won't my oven hold a steady temperature?

When an oven can't hold its heat, the cause is usually a failing temperature sensor or thermostat, or an element that's wearing out. Sometimes a simple recalibration fixes it, but our Howard County techs can let you know for sure.

Why is my oven flashing an error code?

Oven error codes vary by manufacturer, so the same code can signal different things on different models. Usually it's a control board, a temperature sensor, or the door lock. Our Columbia and Howard County techs decode your oven's specific message and tell you what the repair involves.

Do you fix wall ovens and built-in ovens?

Yes, we handle wall ovens, built-in ovens, single and double ovens, and the oven in a range, in both gas and electric. We fix yours with factory-authorized parts no matter where you bought it. The only exception is warranty repairs, which we reserve for appliances we sold.

How many years should an oven last?

Most ovens last about 13 to 16 years. If yours is under 12 with a single failed part, repair is the easy call; once it's past 16, or facing a failed control board, replacement usually makes more sense. Our Howard County techs will give you an honest opinion.

How fast can you send an oven repair tech to Columbia or Howard County?

Most Howard County jobs book one to two days out. You'll get an ETA from your technician before they head over, so there's no guessing when they'll show.

Do your oven repairs come with a guarantee?

Yes — every oven repair comes with a 90-day guarantee. If the same problem returns within 90 days, we come back to your Howard County home and fix it free.

Do you charge for the service visit?

Yes. There's a service charge for the visit that covers the trip and a full diagnosis, and the amount depends on the brand. The repair is priced separately, and you approve it before we begin.

How do you coordinate a repair at my rental property?

We arrange the visit with the landlord or property manager, keep a card on file, and pre-charge the service charge with a $350 pre-authorization so we can approve repairs under $350 on the spot. If the tenant can't grant our tech access at the scheduled time, the return trip comes with a second service fee.

Oven Repair Problems

The Oven Issues Howard County Calls Us For

Won't heat

It's typically due to a failed bake or broil element on electric and a weak igniter on gas.

Heats unevenly

Uneven baking usually points to a failed temperature sensor, a bad thermostat, or a worn element.

Gas oven won't ignite

When a gas oven won't light, the igniter is typically broken or too weak to trigger the gas valve.

Won't turn on

When an oven won't power on, it's typically the control board, a blown thermal fuse, or a failed door switch.

Door won't close or seal

Worn hinges, a failed door gasket, or broken springs are what usually keep an oven door from sealing.

Error message or faulty self-clean

A self-clean cycle can leave you with a control-board fault, a failed sensor, or a door that won't unlock.

This is my go to place for appliance purchases and repairs. They are knowledgeable and a pleasure to deal with. If they can walk you through a problem by phone before scheduling a service call they do so.

Kaye B.

Great place to have appliances repaired and to purchase new appliances. Fast, friendly and highly qualified at a reasonable cost. Their technician George is great to work with and definitely knows appliances. They’re not the cheapest guys in town but they are one of the best. New appliances are delivered quickly and sometimes with a competitive sale price. Highly recommend.
