Is your oven leaving your cookies half-baked or your roast undercooked? Fixing an oven is an urgent concern so you can get back to cooking meals for your household. Most homeowners spend around $200 to have their oven professionally fixed, with costs ranging from $100 to $600. The final price depends on the part that needs repair, the type of oven you have, and the complexity of the issue.

Average Oven Repair Costs

Oven repair costs an average of $200, with most homeowners spending between $100 and $600. The total cost depends on the type of oven and the specific problem that needs fixing. Getting your oven back in working order should be a top priority, so budget accordingly for this type of appliance repair.

Oven Repair Cost Factors

Your repair costs can range widely depending on factors like the type of oven you have, the part that needs replacing, or how much you’ll spend on labor. Here we break down the details to keep in mind while budgeting. 

Type of Repair 

When an oven stops working, the cause could be anything from slow heating to a malfunctioning control board. Either way, the type of oven repair will impact your labor costs and the overall cost of the project. Below are different oven repair types to be aware of: 

Repair Cost by Part

The oven part that needs repair or replacement will also affect the overall cost. Here are common oven parts that might need fixing and what you can expect to pay, including parts and labor.

Type of Oven 

Certain types of ovens, such as gas, steam, or pizza ovens, cost more to repair than others. Here's what you might pay, depending on which type needs repairs. 

Gas vs. Electric

The type of oven significantly affects repair costs, and electric oven repairs range from $100 to $250, as they have fewer complex components compared to gas ovens. Common repairs involve replacing heating elements or fixing wiring issues. Since they’re generally safe to work on and straightforward to fix, costs remain lower. However, if you're not comfortable working on electrical appliances, a professional oven technician can fix the problem.

Gas oven repairs cost between $100 and $600 due to additional safety considerations when working with gas lines and ignition systems, including potential hazards like gas leaks and fires. Repairs require specialized knowledge to address issues like faulty igniters or gas valve problems. Due to these risks, it's essential to contact a stove repair professional rather than attempt a DIY repair.

Steam Oven

Steam oven repairs start at about $200 but can go as high as $600. These are one of the most expensive types of ovens, and repairs can get pricey, but homeowners value them for their efficiency and health benefits. When something goes wrong, it’s most commonly due to issues with the waterline or water heater.

Pizza Oven

Pizza oven repair costs range anywhere from $150 to $600 or more. Prices vary for this type of oven, as they come in various shapes and sizes and with different functionalities. Since they're designed to last a couple of decades, repairs are often worth the investment.

Labor

An oven repair specialist charges $50 to $200 per hour, and they will charge a flat fee for a visit. If you need an electrician to make repairs to your oven’s electrical components, they charge $50 to $100 per hour. Alternatively, a gas line specialist charges $45 to $150 per hour if you need them to make repairs for your gas stove. The longer a repair takes, the more you’ll pay in labor costs. 

Additional Costs to Consider

On top of the main cost factors above, there are a few other items to consider for your oven repair. 

Stovetop Repair Costs

Stovetop repairs cost less than oven repairs, but prices vary based on what's wrong. Common issues include faulty heating elements, malfunctioning electronics, or cracked glass stovetops.

Glass Stovetop Replacement Cost

Replacing a scratched or broken glass stovetop can be quite expensive, going as high as $600. Cracks aren’t repairable, so if a glass stovetop chips or cracks, replacement is the only option.

Gas Stove Igniter Replacement Cost 

The cost to replace a gas stove igniter is between $150 and $220. If the pilot light goes out or your stovetop won't stop clicking, you might need a replacement. A faulty igniter is usually the culprit when your burner won't light.

Stovetop Heating Element Replacement

Replacing a faulty stovetop heating element costs between $150 and $220, including parts and labor.

Permits

In most areas, minor repairs don’t require a permit. On the other hand, you will need a permit if you plan to make major changes to the gas lines and electrical setup. A local permit could cost between $10 to $500. 

DIY vs. Hiring a Pro

Do not attempt oven repairs yourself beyond basic cleaning. Whether gas or electric, ovens can be dangerous to fix without proper training—risks include electrical shocks or gas leaks. Professionals have the expertise to diagnose and repair issues safely and efficiently.

Hiring a qualified technician ensures the job is done correctly and reduces the risk of further damage or injury. Implementing these strategies can help you manage costs effectively so you can get back to baking:

• Schedule regular maintenance: Regular servicing can catch minor issues before they become major problems, saving you money in the long run.

• Consider repair versus replacement: If the repair costs more than 50% of the price of a new oven, it might be more cost-effective to replace it.

• Check for warranties: Your oven may still be under warranty, which could cover the cost of repairs and reduce your expenses.

Remember, attempting DIY repairs on appliances, especially on gas ovens, can be risky. Reach out to an appliance repair technician near you to get your appliance back up and running.
