Nothing creates panic quite like a cold oven on the morning of a holiday feast. You have the turkey prepped, the family is driving in from Kanata or Orleans, and you press “Bake”—only to find that your range refuses to heat up. It is the ultimate holiday nightmare.
In Ottawa, where winter temperatures drop and comfort food becomes a necessity, a broken stove isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a disruption to your entire home life. If you are noticing that your oven is not heating, the temperature is fluctuating, or a stove burner won’t ignite, you are not alone.

Common Oven & Range Problems We Fix Fast
Modern ranges—whether gas or electric—are complex machines. However, most heating issues stem from a few specific components failing under the pressure of heavy holiday cooking. Here are the most frequent scenarios homeowners in Ottawa face.
Oven Not Heating at All
This is the most urgent issue.
- Electric Ovens: The culprit is often a burnt-out bake element. If you see blisters or breaks on the coil at the bottom of the oven, it has failed.
- Gas Ovens: The most common cause is a weak igniter. If the igniter glows but doesn’t get hot enough to open the gas valve, the burner will never light.
- Result: A cold oven and a raw turkey.
Temperature Is Not Accurate (Food Burns or stays Raw)
Is your holiday roast taking twice as long to cook? Or are your cookies burning on the outside while raw in the middle? This usually points to a faulty temperature sensor or thermostat. Over time, these sensors lose calibration, leading to wild temperature swings that ruin precise baking.
Stove Burner Won’t Ignite
For gas ranges, a clicking sound without a flame usually indicates a clogged burner porthole or a failing spark module. For electric glass cooktops, if a burner stays cold, it’s likely a bad infinite switch or a burnt-out element under the glass.

How to Troubleshoot Before Calling a Technician
Before you worry about the appliance repair cost, there are a few safe checks you can perform yourself. Sometimes, the solution is simpler than you think.
- Check the Breaker: Electric ranges draw a lot of power. Check your home’s electrical panel to ensure the breaker hasn’t tripped.
- Verify the Settings: Is the oven in “Demo Mode” or “Sabbath Mode”? Consult your manual to ensure it hasn’t been accidentally locked.
- Inspect the Door Seal: Open the door and check the rubber gasket. If it is torn or hanging loose, heat is escaping.
- Clean the Burners (Gas): If a gas burner clicks but won’t light, use a toothbrush to gently clean the burner ports. Food debris often blocks the gas flow.
Safety Warning: Never attempt to repair internal wiring or gas lines yourself unless you are trained. Modern appliances involve high voltage and gas connections that require professional handling.

When to Call a Professional Technician
If you have checked the basics and the oven still won’t heat, it is time to call a professional. Attempting DIY repairs on complex parts like control boards or gas valves can lead to safety hazards or void your warranty.
You should contact Yanfix immediately if:
- You smell gas (turn off the supply first!).
- The control panel is flashing an error code you cannot reset.
- The bake element is visibly broken or sparking.
- You need the appliance working today.

FAQ
Q: How much does oven repair cost in Ottawa?Â
A: The average cost for range and oven repair in Ottawa is typically between $160 and $400, depending on the part (e.g., igniters vs. control boards). At Yanfix, we provide a flat-rate price upfront.
Q: Is it worth repairing a 10-year-old oven?Â
A: Generally, yes. Ranges have a lifespan of 13–15 years. We recommend using the “50% Rule” to decide whether to repair or replace your appliance. If the repair cost is less than 50% of a new unit, repair is the smarter financial choice.
