Oven and stove repair in Katy splits by fuel. In a gas oven, the usual failure is the igniter. It glows orange but has grown too weak to open the gas valve, so the oven never lights or takes far too long to preheat. A new igniter costs $150 to $325 fitted. On a gas cooktop, a burner that clicks without lighting usually has a wet or dirty igniter or a clogged burner port.
Electric ovens fail in a way you can see. The bake element at the bottom blisters, splits or burns through, and the oven only heats from the top. Elements cost $150 to $450 to replace. An oven that runs 25 or 50 degrees off has a failing temperature sensor, a $100 to $250 repair, or needs calibration. Glass cooktops lose single burners to a bad element or switch.
Ovens are long-lived. Electric ranges last 13 to 15 years and gas ranges 15 to 17, so most oven repairs at $150 to $350 are worth doing. The exception is the control board, which can reach $600. If you smell gas at the range, do not test anything. Leave the house and call CenterPoint Energy's gas emergency line or 911.
