Price Breakdown

What Does Each Type of Oven Repair Cost?

The five most common oven repairs fall into predictable ranges. Igniters and thermal fuses are the cheapest fixes; control boards are the most expensive single repair.

RepairTypical Beaverton Range
Gas igniter replacement$150–$325
Bake / broil element replacement$150–$450
Control board replacement$150–$600
Temperature sensor / thermostat$100–$350
Thermal fuse replacement$100–$250
Diagnostic visit$75–$125 — usually credited toward repair

Typical ranges = parts + labor in the Beaverton market. Wall/double ovens and premium brands (Thermador, Wolf, Miele) can run higher. You always approve a flat-rate quote before any work begins.

Gas vs Electric

Does Gas or Electric Oven Repair Cost More?

They’re in the same ballpark — most repairs land between $150 and $450 either way. The real cost driver isn’t gas vs. electric — it’s which part failed.

Cost Factors

What Can Raise or Lower Your Bill?

Five things move your final bill. None of them should surprise you — a reputable technician prices the flat rate after diagnosis, not before.

What Affects Your Price

  • Brand and part availability. Common brands (GE, Whirlpool, Samsung, LG) have cheap, same-day parts. Premium or discontinued brands can mean special-order parts and higher prices.
  • Oven style. Freestanding ranges are fastest to service. Wall ovens and double ovens take longer — expect labor on the higher side.
  • Which part failed. A fuse is cheap; a control board is not. This is the single biggest driver of the range.
  • After-hours or weekend scheduling. Evening/weekend slots may carry a trip premium — ask upfront so it’s on the written quote.
  • Stocked parts. Igniters, elements, sensors, and fuses are commonly on the truck — one visit. Special-order parts add a return trip and 1–3 days.
Diagnostic Fee

What Does the Diagnostic Fee Cover?

The diagnostic fee buys a full on-site diagnosis: electrical testing of the suspected part, a supply check, and a written flat-rate quote.

flat-rate diagnostic — credited in full toward your repair when you approve the work. Say yes and the diagnosis costs nothing extra; say no and you only pay for the diagnosis, with a written quote you can compare against any other bid.
Repair or Replace

Should You Repair or Replace Your Oven?

Use the 50% rule: if the repair costs more than half the price of a comparable new oven, and your unit is over 10 years old, replacement is the smarter call.
