The Short Answer
An oven that will not heat, bakes unevenly, or drifts off temperature usually has a failed bake element, a weak igniter on gas models, or a drifting temperature sensor. We test the heating circuit and sensor readings against a thermometer, then quote the repair before replacing parts.
Oven trouble usually announces itself at the worst moment: a casserole that is raw in the middle an hour in, or biscuits browned on one side and pale on the other before a Preservation Park picnic or a family Sunday dinner. The good news is that most oven faults live in a short list of testable parts, and guessing wrong is easy to avoid with a meter and an oven thermometer.
We service wall ovens and range ovens, gas and electric, across Thompson's Station. Electric bake elements fail visibly or silently, gas igniters weaken gradually until the oven takes forever to light, and sensors drift a few degrees a year until baking times stop making sense.
We repair gas and electric ovens and wall ovens from most major brands, including convection models. Learn more on our brands we service page, and check the manufacturer's own resources at GE Appliances owner's resources.

Symptom → Cause → Fix
What We Usually Find
| Symptom | Likely Cause | What We Do |
|---|---|---|
| No bake heat, broil fine | Burned-out bake element or a failed bake igniter | We test element continuity and igniter amp draw against spec |
| Long preheat, weak heat | Igniter weakening with age, common on gas ovens | We measure igniter current; a weak igniter will not open the gas valve fully |
| Temperature off | Drifting oven sensor or control calibration issue | We compare sensor resistance to actual temperature and recalibrate or replace |
| Uneven baking | Failed convection fan or a partially failed element | We test the convection motor and element output during a bake cycle |
| Error code displayed | Control board or sensor fault, varies by code | We read the code against the tech sheet and test the named circuit |
Likely causes are starting points for testing, not promises. We confirm the failed part with instruments before quoting.
How We Fix It
Our Diagnostic Process
Heat test with instruments
We run the oven with a thermometer inside and compare displayed, set, and actual temperatures.
Heating circuit testing
Elements, igniters, sensors, and safety valves get tested in the order the symptom suggests.
Quote before work
You approve the price before we replace anything, gas parts included.
Bake verification
We confirm even heating and correct cycling, and check that the door seal holds heat.
Repair or Replace?
Elements, igniters, sensors, and convection fans are worthwhile repairs on nearly any oven worth cooking in. A control board failure on a much older oven deserves a comparison against replacement, especially if the cooktop or door parts are also worn. We will quote the repair and flag anything else we find that changes the math.
| Problem | Repair Makes Sense When | Replacement Wins When |
|---|---|---|
| Bake element or igniter | Repair at any age | Not applicable |
| Temperature sensor | Repair, low cost, big accuracy gain | Not applicable |
| Convection fan motor | Repair on most models | Consider age if board issues also exist |
| Control board | Repair on younger or premium ovens | Replacement often wins on old, basic models |

Oven Repair in Thompson's Station
We fix ovens from the townhomes at Tollgate Village to estate kitchens in Bridgemore Village. Holiday-season calls spike across Williamson County before Thanksgiving, so a sensor check in the fall saves real stress. Lightning from spring storms rolling off the West Harpeth River valley is another local pattern behind sudden control board failures.

Frequently Asked Questions
The igniter is the usual suspect. As it ages it draws less current, so the gas valve opens slowly or partially and preheat times stretch. It is a gradual failure, which is why people notice it over months. An amp-draw test confirms it in minutes.
Often yes. Many controls allow a calibration offset, and if the sensor itself has drifted, replacing it restores accuracy. We verify with a thermometer at temperature rather than trusting the display, then adjust or replace as needed.
Stop using the bake function until it is checked. A blistered or arcing element can short against the oven cavity. The cooktop is a separate circuit on most ranges, but when in doubt, switch the breaker off and call us.
A partially failed element, a dead convection fan, or a warped door seal leaking heat on one side can all do it. We test element output around its full length and run the convection fan during a live bake test.
Codes vary by brand, but most point at the sensor, the control board, or a door lock circuit. Write the code down before unplugging the oven, because clearing power can erase it, and tell us the code when you call.
Yes, including the larger built-in units common in Bridgemore Village and Canterbury homes. Each oven cavity is its own system, and we test the failing cavity's elements, sensor, and board the same way as a single oven.
