Oven Notes for This Area
Gas service reaches most of Old Town and the older neighborhoods west of it, so a rowhouse or colonial kitchen often has a gas range or a gas wall oven. The garden apartments and high-rises of 22311 and Carlyle are mostly electric, with slide-in or freestanding ranges and occasional wall ovens. In narrow kitchens, the oven is often close to cabinets, a window or a refrigerator, which affects heat buildup.
Checking ignition, elements and temperature control
For a gas oven that stays cold, we observe the igniter through the floor panel. If it glows without producing a flame, we measure its current draw, because a weakened igniter cannot open the safety valve. If there is no glow, the problem lies in voltage from the control or the wiring. Electric ovens get resistance tests on the bake and broil elements and a look for burnt terminals. When an oven heats but cooks unevenly, we check the temperature sensor against its chart, inspect the door seal and hinges, and on convection models test the fan.
Ovens near tight cabinetry
In a narrow Old Town kitchen, keep the oven vent clear and avoid storing pans on top of the range. In a high-rise, the oven's cooling fan and door seal matter more, because heat escaping into a small kitchen can set off a hallway smoke detector and warm the cabinets on either side.

Oven Repair: Your Questions
Brief answers to what customers most often ask us. Don't see yours? Ask when you call, or add it to the notes when you book online.
Still have a question?
Get in touch with the brand, the symptom and, if you can find it, the model number. Some things we can answer right away; others need a technician in front of the machine.
Slow preheating often means one element has failed, so the oven heats with only the other. A worn door seal, a temperature sensor that has drifted, or low voltage on one leg of the supply can also slow it. We test each element and the sensor, and check the supply voltage.
