Element, igniter or sensor — the big three answer for nearly every cold oven. Tested in order, priced in writing.
Broil working while bake is dead narrows electric ovens to the bake element circuit instantly — good intel for the booking.
Note minutes to 350°F against what it used to take. 'Twenty-five and climbing' tells a sensor story; 'never arrives' tells an element story.
A cold oven within days of a clean cycle points at the thermal fuse before anything else. Say so when you book.
The oven gets profiled against an independent reference thermometer — never trusted to report on itself — then the circuit named by the evidence gets tested under a meter. Elements, igniters and sensors ride on the van; the written all-in price precedes the wrench, and most cold ovens cook dinner the same evening.
When the sensor tests within spec and the elements pull correctly, the honest remainder is calibration: an offset adjustment in a menu most owners never meet. Where that's the whole story, you pay a diagnostic, learn a settings trick, and keep your money — not everything deserves to become a parts invoice.
Almost always yes — the circuits split after the control, and a dead bake element doesn't touch the burners. The exceptions are gas smell, tripping breakers or scorch marks near wiring; any of those, shut the appliance down and say so at booking.
Book the moment the oven acts odd — 'slow lately' in early November is a sensor whispering before it shouts. The weeks before holidays fill fastest of the year, and an igniter measured early is a twenty-minute fix instead of a holiday-morning emergency.
Same category from-price; wall ovens sometimes land higher within the range because extraction from cabinetry adds handling. The all-in quote reflects the actual installation in front of us, in writing, before work — no discovering 'access fees' on the invoice.

The all-in price covers diagnosis, labor and parts. It doesn't move after work starts.
$95 for the visit and diagnosis is the whole bill — if the fix costs too much or the machine isn't worth it, that's all you owe.
