Tampa Bay ovens fail at the electronics, not at the gas
This is the finding that separates a Florida oven call from a Georgia one, and it is not a small difference. Across 1,911 oven and range jobs at Florida addresses, an igniter was involved in 0.7 percent of them. Across 1,922 Georgia jobs, the same part shows up in 4.1 percent — six times more often. Run the comparison on control boards and touch panels and it flips: 3.1 percent in Florida against 2.5 percent in Georgia.
Most of the bay cooks on electricity, and modern electric ranges put their intelligence in a control board and a membrane touchpad rather than in a gas valve and a spark module. So the failures here are electronic ones: a display that goes dark, a bake element that never gets its signal, a touchpad where two buttons stopped responding, an oven that heats to the wrong temperature because a sensor drifted. Advice written for a gas-heavy market sends you looking for an igniter that your appliance does not have.
That shows up directly in what we replace here. Of the parts fitted across the bay, the control board is both the most common and the most expensive, which is an unusual combination and worth knowing before you get a quote.
| Part replaced across Tampa Bay | Local repairs | Median full ticket |
|---|---|---|
| Control board | 33 | $476 |
| Bake or broil element | 24 | $370 |
| Switch, knob or touchpad | 21 | $349 |
| Igniter, gas models only | 10 | $425 |
| Temperature sensor | 9 | $364 |
| Thermostat | 5 | $430 |
| Door glass | 5 | $300 |
Every figure here is the full ticket: part, labor and the service call in one number. We publish it that way because a part price on its own tells you nothing — a $30 element and a $220 board take similar time to fit, which is why most of this table sits in a narrow band.
What 588 oven calls across the bay look like
Ovens are a smaller share of our work than refrigerators or washers, which is why local per-part numbers like the ones above are rare on a repair site. We have them because the bay has been worked for three years: 588 oven and range calls, 479 of them completed, 300 of them behind the price medians below.
| Measure | Tampa Bay | Across our whole book |
|---|---|---|
| Median repair | $399 | $380 |
| Middle half of repairs | $297 to $502 | $307 to $494 |
| Repairs measured | 300 local | 2,135 company-wide |
| Diagnostic visit, credited against the repair | $99 | $99 |
| Double wall oven diagnostic | $150 | $150 |
The work spreads across the whole metro rather than clustering in one city. Tampa itself accounts for 102 of those calls, St. Petersburg 50, Bradenton 39, Sarasota 36, Lakeland 30, Clearwater 26, Riverview 24 and Palm Harbor 20, with Plant City, Seminole, Wesley Chapel, Brandon, North Port and Lutz each in the mid-teens. If your city is on that list, a technician is running your area most weeks and the common parts are already on the van.
The brands here skew toward the ones with screens
| Brand | Share of Tampa Bay oven calls | Share across our whole book |
|---|---|---|
| GE | 17.2 percent | 14.9 percent |
| Samsung | 14.8 percent | 10.3 percent |
| Whirlpool | 11.9 percent | 13.8 percent |
| Frigidaire | 9.7 percent | 10.0 percent |
| LG | 6.6 percent | 3.3 percent |
| KitchenAid | 3.2 percent | 2.5 percent |
| Thermador | 1.7 percent | 1.5 percent |
| Maytag | 1.5 percent | 1.4 percent |
LG runs at double its usual share here and Samsung sits four points above it. Those two brands built the modern slide-in electric range with a full-width touch panel, and they are exactly the machines where a failure reads as a dead display or an unresponsive button rather than as a burner that will not light. Put that next to the igniter comparison above and the same story arrives twice from different directions.
Match your symptom to the likely cause
Oven will not heat at all, electric. The bake element is the first suspect and the cheaper one, at a $370 median across 24 local repairs. Look through the window with the oven on: a working element glows orange along its whole length. A break or a blistered spot is visible without any tools. If the element looks healthy but stays cold, the signal never reached it, and that moves the diagnosis to the control board.
Everything runs but the temperature is wrong. Almost always the oven temperature sensor, a $364 median across 9 local repairs. Confirm it before you call: put an oven thermometer on the middle rack, set 350 degrees, and give it twenty minutes to settle. A swing of 25 to 30 degrees is normal on a domestic oven. A consistent 75 degrees low is a sensor.
Display dark, panel dead, nothing responds. Control board, the most common local replacement at 33 repairs and a $476 median. Check the breaker first: an electric range runs on a double-pole breaker, and half of it can trip while the cooktop keeps working, which looks exactly like a dead oven.
Some buttons work and others do not. That is the membrane touchpad rather than the board underneath, and it is the cheaper of the two at a $349 median across 21 local repairs. Worth saying on the phone, because the two parts look identical to a customer and are priced $127 apart.
Gas burner will not light, or lights slowly. A $394 median across 19 local calls. On gas ovens the igniter weakens before it fails: it glows, but no longer draws enough current to open the gas valve, so the oven clicks and stays cold. That part runs $425 here. Gas models are a small minority across the bay, but they are concentrated in older homes and in a few newer builds.
Oven door will not close flush, or heat escapes. A $461 median across 7 local calls, usually a hinge or the door gasket. A door that does not seal makes everything else look broken: temperatures read low, baking goes uneven, and the oven runs constantly trying to hold its setting.
Self-clean cycle left the oven dead. Common across every brand and worth knowing. The cycle drives the cavity far above normal cooking temperature, and the thermal fuse or the board is what gives way. If your oven stopped working right after a self-clean, say so — it narrows the diagnosis immediately.
Gas and electric, and why we ask which one you have
We repair both, and the first question on the phone is always which one is in your kitchen, because the two share almost no failure modes. An electric oven fails at the element, the sensor and the board. A gas oven fails at the igniter, the safety valve and the spark module. A dual-fuel range, common in remodelled kitchens across South Tampa and the beach communities, is both at once: gas burners on top, an electric oven below, and a repair that can land on either side.
If you smell gas at any point, stop. Do not use the appliance, do not operate light switches, leave the house and call the utility from outside. That is the one situation where a repair call is the second phone call rather than the first.
What the $99 diagnostic buys
A technician at the appliance with test equipment and the common parts already on the van, not a guess over the phone. By the end of the visit you have a named fault, a firm price for the fix, and a plan you agreed to before anything was opened. Approve the repair and the $99 comes off the total. On an older range it also tells you exactly what is wrong before you spend on a replacement, which is worth having whichever way you decide. Completed repairs carry a 90-day parts and labor warranty, and if the same fault comes back inside that window the return visit is on us.

Oven repair FAQ, Tampa Bay
How much does oven repair cost in Tampa?
The median is $399 when a part is replaced, measured across 300 repairs done at Tampa Bay addresses, and that figure includes the part, the labor and the service call together. Half of those repairs fell between $297 and $502. The diagnostic visit is $99 and is credited against the repair as soon as you approve it. A double wall oven is $150 because two cavities have to be tested.
What is the most common oven repair in Tampa Bay?
The control board, with 33 local replacements and a $476 median. That is unusual: in most markets the single most replaced oven part is the gas igniter. Here it is not, because Florida kitchens run mostly on electricity. Across our Florida work an igniter appears in 0.7 percent of oven jobs against 4.1 percent in Georgia. After the board come the bake element at 24 repairs and a $370 median, and the touchpad at 21 repairs and $349.
My oven heats to the wrong temperature. Is that expensive to fix?
Usually not. The oven temperature sensor is the normal cause, at a $364 median across 9 local repairs. Test it before you call: an oven thermometer on the middle rack, set to 350 degrees, twenty minutes to stabilise. A 25 to 30 degree swing either way is normal for a domestic oven and is not a fault. A steady 75 degrees off is a sensor. There is no separate charge for a calibration on its own, so if nothing needs replacing you pay the diagnostic and nothing further.
Do you repair gas ovens as well as electric?
Both, plus dual-fuel ranges with gas burners and an electric oven. Tell us which one you have when you book, because the parts are entirely different: electric fails at the element, the sensor and the board, gas at the igniter, the safety valve and the spark module. If you ever smell gas, leave the house and call the utility first, then call us.
Which oven brands do you repair?
All the major ones. Across the 588 oven calls we have taken in Tampa Bay, GE leads at 17.2 percent, then Samsung at 14.8, Whirlpool at 11.9, Frigidaire at 9.7 and LG at 6.6, with KitchenAid, Thermador, Maytag, Kenmore, Viking and Wolf making up the rest. Samsung and LG run well above their usual share here, so parts for those slide-in electric ranges travel on the van rather than being ordered after the visit.
How long does an oven repair take?
Most are finished in one visit. An element, a sensor or a touchpad is typically under an hour at the appliance once the fault is confirmed. A control board on a built-in wall oven takes longer because the unit has to come out of the cabinet. If the part is a model-specific board that is not on the van, it is usually a second visit within a few days, and the price quoted at the diagnosis does not change in between.
Which parts of Tampa Bay do you cover?
The whole metro. The heaviest volume is in Tampa itself with 102 oven calls, then St. Petersburg 50, Bradenton 39, Sarasota 36, Lakeland 30, Clearwater 26, Riverview 24 and Palm Harbor 20. Plant City, Seminole, Wesley Chapel, Brandon, North Port, Lutz, Spring Hill, Largo, Apollo Beach, Longboat Key and Tierra Verde are all regular territory, and each has its own page below.
