How Gas and Electric Ovens Fail Differently

Gas and electric ovens have different components that fail in different ways. The diagnostic approach depends on the fuel type.

Gas oven problems:

  • Not heating: Igniter failure or gas valve problem
  • Uneven temperature: Burner issue or clogged ports
  • Won’t turn on: Igniter, safety valve, or gas supply issue
  • Temperature inaccurate: Thermostat or oven sensor failure
  • How we diagnose: Test igniter amperage with multimeter (must draw 3.0–3.6 amps to open gas valve)

Electric oven problems:

  • Not heating: Bake element burned out or wiring issue
  • Uneven temperature: Element damage or convection fan failure
  • Won’t turn on: Control board, wiring, or breaker tripped
  • Temperature inaccurate: Thermostat, sensor, or calibration drift
  • How we diagnose: Inspect element for visible damage, test continuity

Shared components (both types):

Thermostat, temperature sensor, door hinges, door gasket, control board, oven light, thermal fuse.

Gas Oven Safety

Gas ovens require additional safety awareness. If something seems wrong, take precautions before calling for repair.

Signs of a gas leak

  • Rotten egg or sulfur smell near the oven
  • Hissing sound from the gas line or connection

If you smell gas

  • Do not use the oven
  • Do not flip light switches or create sparks
  • Open windows and doors
  • Leave the home
  • Call your gas company’s emergency line from outside

Carbon monoxide risk

  • A malfunctioning gas oven can produce carbon monoxide
  • Symptoms of CO exposure: headache, dizziness, nausea
  • If you suspect CO, leave the home and call 911

Delayed ignition warning

  • If your oven makes a “boom” or “whoosh” sound when lighting, the igniter is weak
  • Gas builds up before igniting; this is a fire hazard
  • Stop using the oven and call for repair

When to call us vs. the gas company:

  • Gas company: Active gas leak, strong gas smell, hissing from gas line
  • Irving Refrigerator Repair: Igniter not glowing, burner not lighting, oven not heating (no gas smell)

How Long Ovens Last and When Repair Makes Sense

Not every broken oven is worth fixing. The decision depends on three things: how old the oven is, how much the repair costs, and whether the problem is a single failed part or a sign of broader wear. We see ovens every week where the honest answer is “replace it” and we tell customers that, even though it means we lose the repair job.

Average oven lifespan:

  • Gas ovens: 15 years
  • Electric ovens: 13–15 years

When repair usually makes sense:

  • Oven is under 10 years old
  • Repair cost is under $300
  • Problem is a single component (igniter, element, sensor, thermostat)

When replacement may be better:

  • Oven is over 12–15 years old
  • Repair cost exceeds 50% of new oven price
  • Multiple components failing
  • Control board failure on older unit ($300–$600 repair)
  • Parts no longer available for your model

If your 15-year-old oven needs a $400 control board, we will tell you replacement makes more sense. We would rather lose a repair job than have you spend money on a fix that will not last.

Frequently Asked Questions

If your gas oven won’t heat but the stovetop burners work, the problem is usually the oven igniter or safety valve, not the gas supply. If your electric oven won’t heat but the stovetop works, the bake element or oven control board has likely failed. Irving Refrigerator Repair diagnoses both gas and electric ovens.

A glowing igniter does not mean it’s working properly. Gas oven igniters must draw enough electrical current (typically 3.0–3.6 amps) to signal the gas valve to open. A weak igniter may glow orange but not draw enough amps. The fix is igniter replacement, not cleaning or adjustment.

An oven that runs 50+ degrees hotter or cooler than the set temperature usually has a failing temperature sensor or thermostat. The sensor is a probe inside the oven cavity that reads temperature. If it sends incorrect readings, the oven heats too much or too little. Irving Refrigerator Repair tests sensors and thermostats during diagnosis.

Slow preheating usually means weak heating components. In gas ovens, the igniter may be failing. In electric ovens, the bake element may be partially burned out. A damaged door gasket can also let heat escape. If preheat time has gradually increased, the problem is worsening and will eventually cause complete failure.

The self-clean cycle heats the oven to 800–900°F. This extreme heat can blow the thermal fuse, damage heating elements, or jam the door lock mechanism. If your oven stopped working immediately after self-cleaning, one of these components likely failed. This is a common and usually repairable problem.

A boom, whoosh, or small explosion when your gas oven lights is called delayed ignition. The igniter is too weak to open the gas valve quickly, so gas builds up before igniting. This is a safety hazard. Stop using the oven and call for repair. The fix is typically igniter replacement.

No. If your gas oven takes more than 60–90 seconds to ignite, or if you hear a “boom” when it lights, stop using it. Delayed ignition means gas is accumulating before the flame starts. This creates a fire and explosion risk. Call for repair before using the oven again.

If you smell gas (rotten egg odor), do not use the oven, do not turn on lights or flip any switches, open windows, leave the home, and call your gas company’s emergency line from outside. Do not call for appliance repair until the gas company confirms there is no active leak.

  • Inside the fresh food compartment, on the side wall or ceiling
  • On the door frame when you open the door
  • On the back of the unit (may require pulling it out)

Yes, for most electric ovens. Bake element replacement is a moderate DIY repair. You unplug the oven or turn off the breaker, remove the screws holding the element, disconnect the wires, and install the new element. Parts cost $20–$75. If you are uncomfortable working with electrical connections, call Irving Refrigerator Repair.

It is possible but involves gas safety considerations. You must turn off gas supply to the oven, remove the igniter, install the new one without cracking it (igniters are fragile), and ensure all connections are secure before restoring gas. If you are not confident working around gas appliances, call a professional.

Before calling Irving Refrigerator Repair, check:

  • Circuit breaker: Is it tripped? Reset it.
  • Gas valve: Is the shutoff valve behind the oven open?
  • Control lock: Some ovens have a lock mode that disables controls.
  • Clock/timer: Some ovens won’t heat if the timer is set incorrectly.
  • Self-clean lock: If the door won’t open after self-clean, wait 30–60 minutes for it to cool and unlock.

If these checks don’t solve the problem, call (972) 200-9519.

Gas ovens typically last 15 years. Electric ovens last 13–15 years. Wall ovens and high-end models may last longer with proper maintenance. If your oven is within these age ranges and needs a minor repair (igniter, element, sensor), repair is usually worthwhile.

Most oven repairs are completed in one visit, taking 30–60 minutes after diagnosis. If parts need to be ordered, we schedule a follow-up visit once parts arrive, usually within 2–5 business days. There is no additional trip fee for the return visit.
