What's the most common electric oven failure?
A failed bake element is the most common cause of inconsistent or absent heat — a $130–$280 repair that usually resolves the issue immediately. A faulty temperature sensor probe is similarly inexpensive and often mistaken for a problem requiring replacement.
When does an oven repair cost approach replacement?
Control board failure or full wiring issues run $250–$450 — worth comparing against a new range (starting around $700) or wall oven (starting around $2,000+).
Does age matter more for oven control boards specifically?
Yes. Digital control panels have gotten more complex over the last decade, so a control board failure on a unit past 12 years is a stronger signal to replace than the same failure on a 4-year-old model, since parts availability narrows over time.
