A broken oven disrupts meal planning in a way that most appliance failures don't. Unlike a malfunctioning dishwasher you can work around, a non-functional oven affects daily cooking for the whole household. The good news: most oven and stove repairs are relatively straightforward, same-day jobs. Here's what to expect in Toronto in 2026.
Electric vs. Gas Oven Repair Costs
The type of oven — electric or gas — affects which components can fail and what the repair involves. Gas repairs require a licensed gas technician; electric repairs focus on heating elements and control boards. Both types have similar overall cost ranges, but the specific repairs differ.

The Most Common Oven Repairs We Do in Toronto
Bake Element Failure (Electric)
The most frequent electric oven repair call we receive. The bake element is the coiled heating element at the bottom of the oven cavity. When it burns through (often visibly cracked or sparking), the oven won't heat to temperature. This is a straightforward same-day repair: the element is removed and replaced, usually in 45–60 minutes.
Gas Igniter Failure
A slow-to-light gas oven, or one that clicks repeatedly but won't ignite, usually has a weak or failed igniter. Gas oven igniters glow orange to open the gas valve — when the igniter draws insufficient current, the valve won't open. Replacement is same-day and one of the most cost-effective gas repairs at $160–$280.
Oven Temperature Inaccuracy
If your oven runs too hot or too cold (you can verify with an oven thermometer), the temperature sensor probe or thermostat is the likely culprit. Sensors are inexpensive parts ($30–$60) and easy to replace. Some ranges allow temperature calibration through the settings menu — worth checking before booking a service call.
Control Board Failure
Modern digital ranges have electronic control boards that manage all oven functions. Board failures are the most expensive common oven repair. Signs include erratic behavior, non-responsive controls, or a blank display. Boards for popular brands (Whirlpool, Frigidaire, LG, Samsung) are usually in stock with Toronto distributors.
When to call immediately: If you smell gas from your oven or stove at any time — when it's off or during use — turn off the burner, ventilate the space, and call a gas technician before using it again. A gas smell indicates a leak or faulty valve that's a safety issue, not just a repair issue.
Induction Cooktop Repair Costs
Induction cooktops are increasingly common in Toronto homes and condos. They're reliable but have one significant failure mode: the control boards and power inverters are expensive to replace ($300–$600+). Minor issues like interface errors or single zone failures are sometimes addressable for less. Check whether your unit is under manufacturer warranty before booking a repair on a newer induction range.
Repair vs. Replace for Ovens
Ovens and stoves have a longer useful life than most appliances — 13–17 years is typical. This means repair almost always makes financial sense unless the control board fails on a 14-year-old budget range. For most repairs under $300 on a stove less than 10 years old, the financial case for repair is clear.
