Is My Oven Gas or Electric? (We Service Both.)
Before scheduling service for your oven, you might want to determine if it’s an electric or gas model. Just turn on the broiler and look inside the unit. If you see flames at the top of the oven or in the broiler drawer, it's gas. If not, it’s electric.

Oven Not Working? These Are Common Issues We Fix
- The oven door is stuck closed. This is typically caused by a misaligned self-clean latch or a defective clock or oven control.
- The oven is not self-cleaning. This could be caused by a defective or damaged self-clean latch switch or function selector.
- The broiler is not working on a gas oven. This is typically the result of a bad broiler igniter or valve.
- The oven temperature is all over the place. A bad bake oven igniter, temperature sensor, or selector switch may be at fault.

Frequently Asked Questions
My oven isn’t working. What are some initial things I can check?
First, check if you have power to your oven. Even gas ovens need electric power to operate. Next, determine if your oven is heating or not. If not, you likely need a new oven igniter or temperature sensor. Finally, make sure the door on your oven is properly latching.
Why is my electric oven not heating up properly?
Your electric oven may not be heating up properly because it has a bad temperature sensor or because that sensor is touching the wall of the oven. Sometimes, that temperature sensor only has to be re-calibrated.
What can I do with a broken oven that can’t be fixed?
If you’re getting rid of an old or broken appliance, like an oven, don’t trash it—recycle it! If it’s still working, consider donating to Habitat for Humanity or Goodwill Industries. If it can’t be fixed, use the EPA’s Responsible Appliance Disposal program.
How can I tell if my oven temperature is correct?
The best way to verify your oven’s temperature is by hanging an oven thermometer in the center of the middle rack. Heat your oven to 350 degrees and keep it there for about 20 minutes. Finally, check the temperature.
Why is my gas oven burner not lighting?
The most common reason for a gas oven burner not lighting is a block in the flow of gas—typically food or other debris that has fallen off the pan while cooking. Clean up your burners and then try again.
What’s going on if my electric oven is not working but my stove top is?
Typically, the broil element has failed or needs to be repaired, while the heating elements for the top burners have remained functional.
