Repair or replace?
Repair for almost everything, elements, igniters, and sensors are cheap and ovens routinely last 15 to 20 years. A $450 control board on an old builder grade range is the main case where a new unit wins. High end ranges (Wolf, Viking, Thermador) are essentially always worth repairing.

We'll quote you on hauling it away, or buying it.
Not every oven & range is worth repairing, and we'd rather tell you that than sell you a repair. If you're replacing it, we'll give you a free quote either way. Scrap pickup for a machine that's finished, or a cash offer if it still has life in it. Working units, recent models and premium brands are often worth real money.
Quick Questions
How long do ovens last?
15 to 20 years for gas, 13 to 15 for electric, longer for pro style ranges. They outlive every other kitchen appliance.
Why did my oven stop working after self clean?
Self clean runs the oven hotter than it ever runs otherwise, it’s famous for killing thermal fuses, door locks, and elements that were already marginal. Many techs advise skipping self clean entirely on electronic ovens.
Gas smell from the oven, what do I do?
A faint whiff at ignition is normal. A persistent gas smell is not. Stop using it, ventilate, don’t flip switches, and call your gas utility or a pro immediately.
