Oven and Range Repair, Gas and Electric
Expert repair of gas and electric ovens, ranges, and cooktops experiencing uneven heating, burner failures, igniter issues, or inaccurate temperature control. We restore safe and consistent cooking performance for both freestanding and built-in units.
An oven that runs too hot, too cold, or won't light at all makes cooking unpredictable at best and unsafe at worst. We've been diagnosing and repairing gas and electric ranges in Sarasota for over 25 years.
Common problems we fix
- Oven Temperature Is Off or Uneven — A worn bake element or a drifted temperature sensor is usually responsible. We test the sensor against spec and replace the element or recalibrate as needed.
- Gas Burner Won't Ignite or Clicks Constantly — A cracked igniter or a wet, dirty igniter port causes both symptoms. We clean or replace the igniter and check the spark module if the clicking continues after cleaning.
- Oven Won't Heat at All — On electric ovens, a failed bake or broil element is the most common cause. On gas, it's usually the igniter. Either way, we confirm with testing before replacing anything.
How We Diagnose Heating and Temperature Problems
Temperature complaints need more than a visual check. We use a calibrated thermometer to measure actual oven output against the set temperature, then test the sensor, the element or burner, and the control board in sequence. That order matters because a failing control board can mimic a bad sensor, and replacing the wrong part wastes time and money. We find the source before we recommend anything.
Gas vs. Electric: What Usually Fails
The failure points differ between fuel types.
- Gas igniters weaken over time and draw too little current to open the gas valve
- Gas burner caps and ports clog with grease and debris, causing uneven flames
- Electric bake elements develop hot spots, then crack or burn through entirely
- Electric temperature sensors drift out of calibration after years of heat cycling
- Control boards on both types can fail and cause erratic or no-heat symptoms
Built-In Ovens and Tight Kitchen Spaces
Built-in wall ovens and slide-in ranges require careful removal from the cabinet or wall cavity before the repair can begin. Older Sarasota homes, particularly in North Sarasota neighborhoods with original mid-century kitchens, sometimes have non-standard cutout dimensions that make this more involved. We account for that before starting so nothing gets damaged on the way out or back in.
When a Repair Bill Approaches Replacement Cost
A control board on a higher-end range can be expensive. If the unit is older and the repair cost is climbing toward half the price of a comparable replacement, that's worth knowing before you commit. We give you the diagnosis and what the repair involves. The decision is yours.

Do you repair cooktops that are separate from the oven?
The oven works fine but one surface burner on my gas range is dead. Can you fix just that?
