When the oven won't heat, bakes unevenly or shows an error code, the technician tests the heating parts, the temperature sensor and the controls, then explains what needs replacing.

Typical causes
Most oven repairs involve the parts that make heat, the sensor that measures it or the control that manages both.
Electric elements wear out from constant heating and cooling, and can blister or break.
Signs you'll see
No heat, slow preheat, visible damage on the element.
How it's confirmed
Each element is tested with a meter.
A gas oven's igniter heats up until it pulls enough current for the safety valve to open. As it ages, it glows but stays below that point.
Signs you'll see
The burner takes a minute or more to catch, or never does.
How it's confirmed
The igniter's current draw is measured.
The sensor reports the oven temperature to the control board, which switches the heat on and off.
Signs you'll see
Wrong temperatures, error codes, an oven that won't stop heating.
How it's confirmed
The sensor is tested against the manufacturer's specifications, then the board's outputs are checked.

Switch the oven off at the breaker for a minute and try again. If the code returns, write it down along with the brand and call.
