"I first hired Bryce from Angi because of his good reviews. I just moved to Upperco and the washer was broken from the last tenant. He responded quickly and came out to me within a day. He explained everything and got it done quickly and had all the parts needed already on him. His prices were fair and it was a painless process. I work at a horse farm and needed repair work on our dryer and I immediately told my boss to hire Bryce for the job. Again he responded quickly and was there within a day to help fix our dryer. He also is very honest and punctual. Will definitely be using him in the future for my home and work."

Replacing an oven igniter involves working with electrical components and can be risky if not handled properly. It's best to hire a professional appliance repair technician to replace the igniter safely. A pro has the tools and expertise to ensure the job is done correctly, minimizing the risk of injury or further damage to your oven.
Oven igniters are electrically powered until they heat up. They’ll glow red with heat and ignite the gas to continue powering and heating the burner. These work in tandem with the safety valve. Unless the igniter is glowing, the valve won’t open and gas won’t reach the burners.
To know if your oven element is bad, turn on the oven and observe whether the heating element glows red. The element is usually located at the bottom of the oven cavity. If it doesn't glow or your oven isn't heating evenly, the element may be faulty. In this case, it's advisable to contact a local oven repair professional to diagnose and fix the problem safely.
If your stove burners are functioning but the oven isn't heating, the problem could be due to a faulty thermostat, igniter, heating element, or control board. Electrical issues or a blown fuse might also be the cause. Because several components could be responsible, it's best to have a professional appliance repair technician diagnose and fix the issue to get your oven working again safely.
Is it worth fixing an oven? Absolutely—it often makes sense to repair your oven if the cost is less than half the price of a new one and it's under 15 years old. Fixing it can extend its life and save you money. But if your oven is older or the repair is costly, replacing it might be a better option. A professional can help you consider your options.
Ovens last between 15 and 20 years with proper cleaning and maintenance. Regularly maintaining your oven can help extend its lifespan and improve its efficiency. Since ovens have fewer moving parts compared to other appliances like dishwashers or washing machines, they tend to wear out less quickly, but regular care is still important.
