Professional Oven Repair Services
Your oven is the heart of your kitchen—the appliance that brings family meals together, hosts holiday gatherings, and transforms raw ingredients into memorable dishes. When your oven stops working, it’s more than an inconvenience—it disrupts your daily routine and limits your ability to prepare nutritious meals at home.
At Master of Appliances, we provide fast, reliable oven repair services throughout Arlington, Cambridge, Somerville, and the entire Greater Boston area. With over 20 years of hands-on experience repairing gas and electric ovens, ranges, cooktops, and wall ovens, our factory-trained technicians restore your kitchen to full functionality—often on the same day you call.
Common Oven Problems We Repair
Ovens contain heating elements, igniters, thermostats, and electronic control systems that can fail in numerous ways. Our technicians diagnose and repair every type of oven malfunction, including:
Oven Not Heating or Heating Unevenly
This is the most common oven complaint we receive. Causes range from faulty heating elements and defective igniters to malfunctioning temperature sensors and damaged control boards. Uneven heating often results in undercooked centers and burnt edges—a sign that your oven needs professional attention.
Gas Oven Won't Ignite
If you smell gas but your oven won’t light, the igniter is usually the culprit. Over time, igniters weaken and fail to reach the temperature needed to open the gas valve. A failing igniter is both a cooking problem and a safety concern that requires prompt repair.
Oven Temperature Inaccurate
When your oven runs too hot or too cold despite correct settings, the temperature sensor or thermostat is likely malfunctioning. This leads to burnt cookies, undercooked roasts, and constant recipe adjustments. Our technicians calibrate or replace faulty components to restore precise temperature control.
Self-Cleaning Function Not Working
Modern ovens feature self-cleaning cycles that use high heat to burn off food residue. When this function fails, it’s typically due to a faulty door latch, blown thermal fuse, or control board issue.
Oven Door Won't Close Properly
A door that doesn’t seal correctly allows heat to escape, wastes energy, and prevents your oven from reaching proper temperatures. Worn hinges, damaged door seals, or misaligned latches are common causes we repair regularly.
Broiler Not Working
If your broiler element fails while the bake element works fine, the broiler element itself may be burned out, or there could be an issue with the relay or control board.
Control Panel or Display Malfunctioning
Unresponsive buttons, flickering displays, or error codes indicate electronic control problems. Our technicians are trained to diagnose and repair digital control systems across all major brands.
Oven Making Strange Noises
Clicking, buzzing, or humming sounds during operation may signal issues with the cooling fan, convection motor, or electrical components. Unusual noises warrant professional inspection before they lead to complete failure.
Electric Oven Tripping Circuit Breaker
If your oven repeatedly trips the breaker, there may be a short circuit in the wiring, a failing heating element, or an overloaded circuit. This is an electrical safety issue that requires immediate professional diagnosis.

When to Repair vs. Replace Your Oven
Deciding whether to repair or replace a malfunctioning oven depends on several factors. According to Consumer Reports, if repair costs exceed 50% of a new appliance’s price, replacement typically makes more financial sense.
Your oven is less than 10 years old
Most quality ovens are designed to last 13-15 years with proper maintenance. A mid-life repair can extend service for many more years.
You own a high-end or built-in model
Premium brands like Viking, Wolf, or Thermador cost significantly more to replace than to repair. A $400 repair on a $5,000 range is almost always worthwhile.
The problem is a simple component failure
Replacing a burned-out heating element or faulty igniter is straightforward and cost-effective compared to buying a new oven.
Our technicians provide honest, no-pressure recommendations
We'll explain your options clearly and help you make the decision that's best for your budget and cooking needs.
