Precise Oven Repairs for Perfect Results
We repair every major brand, fixing faulty heating elements, thermostats, control boards and door seals. Whether it’s a wall oven, a range, or a double oven, our technicians diagnose the actual fault first instead of guessing at parts. Your oven will reach the right temperature, cook evenly and run safely again, and we test it before we leave.
Common Oven Problems We Fix
Oven won’t heat or won’t turn on
Usually a failed igniter or heating element, or a tripped breaker feeding the unit. On the visit we test the element and igniter with a multimeter, check the power supply, and replace the failed part when we’re carrying it.
Uneven baking or a temperature that drifts
Often a miscalibrated thermostat, a worn door gasket, or a failing temperature sensor. We check calibration against an independent thermometer, inspect the seal, and replace the sensor or control board if that’s the cause.
Door won’t close or won’t latch
Usually loose or worn hinges, a broken door spring, or a misaligned frame. We tighten or replace the hardware and re-level the door so it seals properly again.
Error code on the display
Modern ovens post a fault code before anything else fails outright. We read the code against the manufacturer’s own service documentation and confirm the part before we replace it.
Self-clean cycle won’t finish or the door stays locked
The self-clean lock mechanism can jam, or the control board loses track of the cycle. We reset the control board, check the lock switch, and free the door safely.
Broiler or one element not working
Usually an isolated element failure rather than a full control board fault. We test each element separately on the visit and replace only the one that’s failed.
Oven takes too long to preheat
Often a weak bake element or a door seal that’s letting heat escape. We check both, and a worn seal is a quick, inexpensive fix that saves the element from working overtime.
Interior light won’t turn on
Usually just a burnt-out bulb or a corroded socket, an easy swap once the oven is off and cool. If a new bulb blows again quickly, the socket or wiring behind it needs a look.
Control knob won’t turn or feels loose
The knob shaft can strip with age, or on gas models the valve behind it can wear. We check whether it’s the knob itself or the valve before replacing either.
Convection fan is noisy or won’t spin
Usually a worn fan motor bearing or debris caught in the blade. A stalled fan causes the same uneven-cooking symptoms as a bad element, so we check the fan first on any convection model.
Hinges worn, squeaking or sagging
Hinges wear gradually before they fail outright, so a door that droops or squeaks is worth fixing before it stops closing altogether. We lubricate or replace the hinge as needed.
Gas oven won’t ignite or the burner smells of gas
Usually a fouled igniter, a clogged burner port, or a failing gas valve. If you smell gas and can’t get it to light, shut off the supply and call us the same day rather than repeatedly trying to relight it.
Oven cycles on and off on its own
Usually a thermostat or temperature sensor that’s misreading the interior temperature, causing the control board to shut the elements off too early or too late. We test the sensor’s resistance against the manufacturer’s spec before replacing it.
Repair or Replace?
An oven repair is almost always cheaper than a new unit, and a control board or element swap can add years to a machine that’s otherwise sound. Older ovens also use more power than current models, per Hydro-Quebec’s data on appliance electricity use, so if yours is nearing 15 years old and needs a second major repair, it’s worth pricing a replacement alongside the repair. As a rule of thumb, if the repair costs less than half the price of a comparable new oven and the rest of the unit is in good shape, repairing is usually the better value. We give you a written quote before any work starts, in line with the estimate rules the Office de la protection du consommateur sets for appliance repairs, so you can decide with real numbers in front of you rather than guessing.
Oven Brands We Repair
We repair ovens and ranges from every major brand, including Bosch, GE, Frigidaire, KitchenAid and Whirlpool. Our technicians carry the most common parts on the truck, so most repairs finish in a single visit. See all the brands we service.

Everything you need to know about your oven repair in Montreal
Temperature swings usually come down to one of four things: the oven is out of calibration, a heating element is failing, the door insulation has worn out, or the oven is overcrowded and blocking airflow. Check calibration with an oven thermometer placed in the centre rack and preheated to 350°F; if the reading is off by more than a few degrees, the thermostat needs adjusting. Inspect the door gasket for cracks or gaps, and leave space between dishes so hot air can circulate. If the swings continue after that, the heating element or control board is the likely cause, and that's a job for a technician with a multimeter and the right replacement part on hand. Regular cleaning also helps: grease buildup on the element or sensor can throw off readings over time, so a periodic wipe-down is cheap insurance against this exact problem.
Start with the power supply: check the breaker and make sure the outlet is live before assuming the worst. If power is fine, the next suspects are a failed igniter or heating element, or a control board that's stopped responding. Igniters and elements can be tested for continuity with a multimeter, and a burnt-out one won't pass. A control board fault is harder to diagnose from the outside, since the symptoms look the same as a power problem; if a reset (unplug for a few minutes, plug back in) doesn't bring the oven back, it's time to call for a diagnosis rather than keep guessing. Loose wiring behind the control panel is another possibility worth ruling out, especially on an oven that's been moved or had other work done on it recently, since a jarred connector can mimic a full control board failure.
Loose hinges, a broken door spring, a worn gasket, or a misaligned frame are the four usual causes. Wiggle the door gently; visible play at the hinges means the screws need tightening. A gasket that's frayed or flattened will leave a visible gap and let heat escape, and it's a straightforward swap once you have the right part. A misaligned door, often from an oven that isn't level, needs the hinge receiver plates adjusted, which is fiddly to do without pulling the door off first. If tightening the hinges doesn't fix it, have a technician check the springs and alignment together, since replacing one without checking the other often means doing the job twice, and a spring under tension can be dangerous to handle without the right tools.
The usual suspects, in order of how often we see them: an out-of-calibration thermostat, a heating element that's cooking unevenly, a worn door seal letting heat escape, and blocked vents restricting airflow. Test with an oven thermometer first; a consistent 20 to 30 degree gap points to calibration, while inconsistent, patchy heat points to the element or a blocked vent. A worn door seal is easy to miss because the oven still heats, just slower and less efficiently, and your energy bill creeps up as a result. If your model has a convection fan, check that it spins freely, since a stalled fan will cause the same symptoms as a bad element. When the basics check out and the problem persists, the control board itself may be misreading the sensor, which needs a technician to confirm with a multimeter before replacing anything, since sensors and control boards are not interchangeable parts.
This is usually food residue built up inside the oven rather than a mechanical fault. Check and clean the interior before each use, and if the smoking continues after a proper clean, call us to check the elements for damage.
It's usually grease and grime built up over time, especially after cooking something strong-smelling. Clean with an oven cleaner rather than a general household product, and clean again soon after a strong-smelling meal so it doesn't build back up.
Our technicians arrive promptly anywhere in the Montreal area, and our goal is to diagnose and repair your oven the same day you call.
Yes. Every oven repair is backed by a 1-year warranty on parts and labour, for your peace of mind.
