Oven Not Heating at All? Bake Element, Igniter or Thermostat
When the display works but the oven stays cold, the cause is usually the bake element, the gas igniter, a sensor or a safety fuse.
Read the guideWhat does oven repair in Mountain View include?
Oven repair in Mountain View covers ovens that won't heat, heat unevenly, or won't hold temperature. Our technician tests the bake and broil elements, gas igniter, temperature sensor, convection fan, door lock, and control board. We find the failed part, give you a price, and fix it on site, including single, double, and steam wall ovens.
Many Mountain View kitchens have built-in wall ovens from Thermador, Wolf, Bosch, KitchenAid, and GE Monogram. These take care to remove from the cabinet. Our technicians do it without scratching trim or flooring.
We repair Thermador, Wolf, Bosch, KitchenAid, GE, GE Monogram, GE Café, Viking, Miele, Dacor, Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, and Frigidaire ovens, including single and double wall ovens, ranges, and steam ovens.
What are the signs you need oven repair?
Your oven needs repair if it won't heat, takes much longer to preheat, burns food on one side, or shows the wrong temperature. A gas oven that clicks but won't light, a door that won't unlock after self-clean, and error codes are also common. Never use an oven that smells of gas.
- Oven won't heat or heats very slowly
- Food burns on the bottom or is raw in the middle
- Temperature on the display doesn't match an oven thermometer
- Gas oven clicks or glows but won't light
- Door is locked after self-clean
- Convection fan is loud or won't spin
- Error codes such as F2 or F9
- Visible spark or break in the heating element
How does our oven repair process work?
Our oven repair process starts by checking how the oven heats with a test thermometer. We then test the elements, igniter, sensor, and control board. You get the full price before work starts, and we finish by running a bake cycle to confirm the oven reaches and holds temperature.
Heat test
We preheat and measure the actual temperature with our own thermometer.
Parts testing
Elements, igniter, temperature sensor, door lock, and board are checked.

How much does oven repair cost in Mountain View?
Oven repair in Mountain View usually costs approx. $150 to $500. A bake element or temperature sensor is at the low end. Gas igniters and door locks are mid-range. Control boards and convection motors on wall ovens cost the most. Repairs on Wolf, Thermador, and Miele ovens can cost more because of part prices.
| Repair | Typical cost (approx.) |
|---|---|
| Temperature sensor | $150 – $275 |
| Bake or broil element | $175 – $325 |
| Gas oven igniter | $200 – $350 |
| Door lock assembly | $200 – $400 |
| Control board or convection motor | $300 – $600 |
Prices are approx. ranges for Mountain View and nearby cities, including parts and labor. They are not a quote. Your technician gives a firm price after diagnosis.
Should you repair or replace your oven?
Ovens often last 15 to 20 years, so most repairs are worth doing. Built-in wall ovens are expensive to replace and often need cabinet changes, which makes repair the clear choice. Replace only if the oven is very old and needs a major board that is no longer made.
| Situation | Our usual advice |
|---|---|
| Element, sensor, or igniter | Repair |
| Door lock, any age | Repair |
| Wall oven board, under 15 years | Repair |
| Obsolete board, 20+ years | Consider replacing |
What can you safely check before calling?
Check that the oven is not in Sabbath or lock mode, and that the clock is set, since some ovens won't heat without it. Reset the breaker for electric ovens. Do not force a locked door. If a gas oven smells of gas, turn it off, leave the home, and call PG&E or 911 from outside.
- Use an oven thermometer to check real temperature
- Avoid the self-clean cycle right before holidays; it can stress parts
- Keep foil off the oven floor so heat flows freely
- Wipe the door gasket gently and keep it clean
- Turn the breaker off and on to reset a frozen control

Why is my oven not heating?
On electric ovens, the bake element or temperature sensor has often failed. On gas ovens, a weak igniter is the most common cause. A blown fuse or bad control board can also stop heat.
How much does oven repair cost in Mountain View?
Most oven repairs cost approx. $150 to $500 with parts and labor. High-end wall ovens can cost more. You get a firm quote first.
Why does my oven burn the bottom of food?
The bake element may be overheating, the sensor may be off, or the convection fan may have stopped. Foil on the oven floor can also cause it.
Can you fix a wall oven?
Yes. We repair single, double, and combination wall ovens and can safely remove them from the cabinet.
My oven door is locked after self-clean. What do I do?
Let the oven cool fully for a few hours, then turn the breaker off for 5 minutes. If it is still locked, the lock motor or switch has likely failed and needs repair.
Why is my oven not heating up all the way?
An oven that heats but never reaches the set temperature usually has a weak igniter (gas), a failing bake element (electric), or a bad temperature sensor. Our guide on why an oven is not heating walks through the checks.
