Average Oven Repair Costs in Canada (2026)
Whether your oven won't heat, won't reach temperature, or has a display that's gone dark, getting it repaired is almost always more cost-effective than buying new. In 2026, oven repairs in the GTA typically cost between $80 and $350 all-in, including parts and labour.
The cost depends on the fault, the oven type (gas vs electric), the brand, and whether replacement parts are in stock. Below is a complete breakdown based on real repair jobs completed by our certified technicians across Toronto and surrounding cities.
Oven Repair Cost by Problem Type
All prices below include parts and labour and are in Canadian dollars (2026 pricing).
| Problem / Repair | Typical Cost (CAD) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Bake element (electric) | $120–$200 | Oven not heating; visible damage or burn marks on element |
| Broil element (electric) | $100–$180 | Broiler not working; top element not glowing |
| Igniter (gas oven) | $100–$180 | Gas oven not heating; igniter glow but burner doesn't light |
| Temperature sensor / probe | $80–$150 | Oven not reaching set temperature; inaccurate heat |
| Control board / electronic panel | $200–$350 | Error codes, display issues, oven not responding to controls |
| Door hinge replacement | $80–$150 | Door falls, doesn't stay closed, or closes unevenly |
| Door gasket / seal | $60–$100 | Heat escaping during baking; oven runs hot |
| Gas safety valve | $150–$250 | Gas oven won't light even with functioning igniter |
| Convection fan motor | $120–$200 | Convection mode not circulating heat; noisy convection fan |
| Oven calibration | $89–$120 | Temperature is off but hardware is intact; calibration adjustment |
Remember: Nick's Appliance Repair charges an $89 diagnostic fee to identify the exact fault. This fee is waived in full when you proceed with the repair — so you only pay for the fix itself, not the diagnosis.
Electric Oven vs Gas Oven: Repair Cost Comparison
Both oven types have their own common failure modes and associated repair costs. Here's how they compare:
Electric Oven Repairs
- Bake element: $120–$200
- Broil element: $100–$180
- Temperature sensor: $80–$150
- No gas certification required
- Parts widely stocked for all brands
- Generally predictable repair costs
Gas Oven Repairs
- Igniter: $100–$180
- Gas safety valve: $150–$250
- Requires licensed gas technician (Ontario)
- Gas-specific parts less commonly stocked
- Comparable cost to electric for most repairs
- DO NOT attempt gas repairs yourself
Gas Oven Safety Notice
In Ontario, any work on gas-connected appliances must be performed by a licensed gas technician. All Nick's Appliance Repair technicians who service gas ovens hold the required credentials. Never attempt to repair a gas igniter, valve, or burner assembly yourself — gas leaks are a serious fire and health hazard.
Is It Worth Repairing an Oven?
New ranges in Canada cost $700–$2,000 for mid-range models, and $3,000–$8,000+ for premium brands like Wolf or Viking. Against those numbers, even a $300 control board repair is well within the 50% rule threshold for machines under 12 years old.
Repair Makes Sense When...
- Oven is under 10–12 years old
- Single component failure (element, sensor, igniter)
- Repair cost is under 50% of replacement
- Premium brand (Wolf, Viking, Thermador)
- Oven is part of a high-end built-in range
Consider Replacing When...
- Oven is 15+ years old
- Multiple components failing simultaneously
- Control board on a budget brand over 10 years old
- Oven cavity is damaged or warped
- Parts discontinued for the model
What Affects Oven Repair Cost?
- Brand: Wolf, Viking, Thermador, and Miele parts cost significantly more than Samsung, LG, or Whirlpool equivalents. Control boards for premium brands can reach $400–$600 for the part alone.
- Gas vs electric: Gas oven repairs involving the gas valve or safety components require licensed gas technicians, which may add to labour cost.
- Machine age: Parts for ovens older than 12 years may need to be special-ordered, increasing both cost and repair timeline.
- Fault type: Mechanical failures (elements, igniters) are generally cheaper than electronic failures (control boards, touchpad assemblies).
Common Signs Your Oven Needs Professional Repair
- Oven won't heat to set temperature or heats unevenly
- Electric oven has a visibly burned or broken bake/broil element
- Gas oven igniter glows but burner doesn't light
- Error codes on the display that won't clear
- Oven door won't close properly or falls open
- Convection fan is noisy or not spinning
- Self-cleaning cycle won't complete or locks the door mid-cycle
Don't ignore a faulty oven door seal: A failing door gasket ($60–$100 to replace) causes heat to escape, making your oven work harder and run hotter on the outside surface — a burn and fire risk. It's one of the cheapest and highest-impact repairs on this list.
