An oven can fail in dozens of ways, but most service calls in San Francisco fall into a handful of common categories. Here is each problem we see regularly, what causes it, and how we fix it, so you know what to expect before you call.
A no-heat oven usually traces to a weak hot surface igniter on gas or a cracked bake or broil element on electric. A blown thermal fuse, tripped breaker, or dead control board can also be to blame. We test each and replace what failed.
When food browns unevenly, the culprit is usually a drifting temperature sensor, a worn door gasket leaking heat, or a struggling convection fan. We check the reading against a thermometer, then recalibrate or swap the RTD sensor and fix the airflow.
A weak igniter that no longer pulls 3.0 to 3.6 amps is the top reason a gas oven won’t light, with clogged burner ports close behind. We clean or replace the ignition parts.
Typically a defrost timer, heater, or thermostat failure icing the coils, a dead thermostat, blocked vents, or a stalled fan. We replace the defrost part, clear the iced coils, and fully restore airflow.
Gaps, a door that won’t latch, or heat escaping the edges come down to worn hinges, a failed self-cleaning lock motor, or a degraded gasket seal. We realign or replace the hinge, latch, or seal so the door shuts tight and holds its heat.
A blank display, dead buttons, or an oven acting on its own usually means a shorted touchpad, a failed control board, or power-surge damage. We isolate whether the cheaper membrane or the board behind it is at fault and replace only that.
An F-code or E-code such as F2, F3, F5, or F7 flags a sensor, latch, or keypad fault. A power-cycle reset clears a one-off glitch. When the code returns on every use, we pull it with brand diagnostics and fix the part behind it.
Dead oven lights, grease-smoke smells, a jammed self-clean lock, grinding convection bearings, and ovens that won’t switch off all land on our daily list. A gas odor is different, though, so evacuate, call the gas company, then call us.

Every oven configuration fails in its own way, and an accurate diagnosis starts with knowing exactly what sits in your kitchen. All State Appliance Repair services every oven type found in San Francisco homes, from freestanding gas ranges to plumbed-in steam ovens, and we arrive with the parts and testing tools matched to your specific setup.
Gas ovens produce heat through a burner and a hot surface igniter, so their most common failure is a weakening igniter that still glows but no longer draws enough amperage to open the safety valve. Clogged burner ports and failing gas valves round out the frequent calls. Every gas repair we perform ends with a combustion safety check and a gas leak test. Wolf, Viking, Thermador, BlueStar, and Bertazzoni pro ranges make up much of this work.
Electric ovens run on a bake element at the bottom and a broil element at the top, both fed by 240V and managed by a relay board and temperature sensor. A burned-out element is the most frequent fault, and you can often spot it yourself as a visible blister, crack, or break in the coil. Sensor drift and relay board failures are the trickier diagnoses. GE, Frigidaire, Kenmore, Maytag, LG, and Samsung lead this category.
Convection ovens add a fan, and often a dedicated ring element, to circulate hot air for even baking. The clearest sign of a convection-specific fault is uneven cooking in convection mode while standard bake works fine, which points to the fan motor or convection element rather than the main heating element. Worn fan bearings that grind or hum are the usual culprit. GE, KitchenAid, Bosch, Samsung, and LG show up most often.
Wall ovens mount inside cabinetry and hardwire to a 240V junction box, and their weight, often 100 to 200 pounds, puts steady stress on hinges and mounting brackets. Access is the real challenge, since the unit has to be pulled forward on its rails before any repair begins. Because these ovens can last up to 20 years, repair almost always beats the cost of replacement and cabinet modification. We service Thermador, Wolf, Bosch, GE, KitchenAid, Miele, Dacor, and JennAir built-ins.
The single oven is the baseline configuration, covering freestanding ranges, slide-in ranges, and single wall ovens. It carries all the standard components, and its failures match everything else covered on this page. These units are also the easiest to service, since a freestanding or slide-in model simply pulls forward to reach the back panel and electrical connections. GE, Frigidaire, Samsung, LG, and Kenmore are the most common.
Double ovens are two independent cavities stacked in one chassis, each with its own elements and sensor, though they often share a single control board. When one cavity fails and the other works fine, the problem is usually a relay, element, or sensor specific to that side. When both go dark at once, the shared control board or power supply is the likely cause. GE, KitchenAid, Frigidaire, Samsung, and Maytag appear most in this group.
Compact and mini fridges serve offices, studios, guest rooms, and wet bars. Thermostat drift, compressor relay faults, and evaporator icing are the usual issues. Repairs under $100 are worth it, but above that a new unit at $150 to $400 often wins.
lk-in coolers, reach-ins, display cases, and prep tables keep SF restaurants and markets running. Watch for compressor burnout, thermostat drift risking health codes, refrigerant leaks, and gasket wear. We handle commercial refrigerants, EPA rules, and fast turnaround.
The price of oven repair depends on what is causing the problem, the brand and model of the appliance, and whether parts need to be replaced. Most standard oven repairs we handle typically range from $150 to $500+, with some common component repairs falling around $400–$500.

A good rule of thumb is the 50% rule. If the repair costs less than half the price of a comparable new oven, repair usually makes sense. Gas ovens last about 15 to 17 years and electric ovens about 13 to 15 years, so age matters too. Since new ovens run anywhere from $650 to $5,000 or more, and built-in wall ovens are expensive to replace, repairing a wall oven is almost always the better value.
An oven that won't heat is the most common issue we see. On gas ovens, the usual cause is a faulty hot surface igniter. On electric ovens, it is typically a burned-out bake element. A drifting temperature sensor is another frequent culprit across both types.
Do not operate any switches or try to light the oven. Ventilate the area, leave the house, and call PG&E at 1-800-743-5000 right away. Only call a technician after the gas company has cleared the hazard. Your safety comes first, always.
Most repairs take 1 to 2 hours and are completed the same day, since our vans arrive stocked with common parts. If your oven needs a part we have to order, it may require a second visit, and we will tell you that up front.
