If you love your electric stove and aren’t ready to part with it, you probably don’t have to! Electric stoves are a fantastic investment, lasting around 15 years or so. With proper maintenance, cleaning and quality repairs, you can enjoy your electric stove for years to come and avoid having to buy a new one! 

Are you a fan of your electric stove? While both gas and electric stoves have their strengths, electric stoves outperform their gas counterparts in many lab tests. They cycle on and off faster than gas oven burners, they’re easy to clean and they have a dry heat that’s good for roasting or broiling. 

Gas ranges, on the other hand, provide an open flame and various heat levels that allow you to melt, simmer and fry easily. Their benefits include faster preheating times, quick burner cooldown and open flames for expanded cooking techniques. One type of stove isn’t necessarily better than the other - it all comes down to personal choice! 

On average, electric ranges cost between $700 and $2,000. Therefore, if your oven is in need of a repair, it’s worth looking into it. If the repair cost is low, you’re better off paying for the repair, even if the stove is old. This way, you can get the maximum years out of your electric stove and continue to enjoy seamless cooking.

It’s typically pretty easy to determine when you need to call an electric stove repairman. Sometimes, the issues have to do with the electric itself. Other times, it’s faulty parts. Here are some signs that you should schedule an appointment with our electric stove repairman: 

• Electrical issues. Is your stove not turning on? Do you notice power fluctuations that are getting worse? Unplug your stove and contact our repair experts right away! We’ll check for faulty wires, burnt wires or a blown fuse. 

• Burner problems. Pay attention to your burners. If one or two of them aren’t turning on or aren’t getting as hot as they should, you likely need a repair. 

• Undercooked food. Sometimes, our customers notice problems with their food before they do their appliance. If your food is undercooked, it’s possible that your oven isn’t getting as hot as it needs to. 

• Constant clicking. Some customers report hearing a clicking sound, which can indicate that your stove is trying to do something like heat a burner. Or, there may be an internal electric malfunction. 

• Damaged coils. It’s also possible for the coils to experience damage with frequent use. Schedule a repair if you notice blisters, bubbles or cracks on the coils. 

Some appliances are not worth fixing, but others are. And stoves are one of them. According to Consumer Reports, the data generally points in favor of repairing a range. The majority of range problems are simple and inexpensive. Additionally, the components are designed for quick disassembly. 

While there are a number of problems that can happen to an electric stove, the most common that we see have to do with the electrical components. Faulty heating elements will prevent the stove from turning on and heating up like it should. 

Fortunately, electric stove repairs are not always an immediate issue, giving you time to schedule an appointment. For example, if one burner isn’t working, you still have three others. Of course, we still recommend scheduling a repair sooner rather than later. The earlier you catch a problem, the easier it is to repair. 

Keep in mind that repairs come highly recommended for more expensive models. Pro-style ranges cost thousands of dollars to replace, so a repair will be much more economical. And by scheduling a repair, you are also doing wonders for the environment. Millions of tons of waste is generated from large appliances, and repairs help keep them out of the landfills.
