Oven repair in Riverdale & New Carrollton
The houses near Riversdale and the postwar streets of East Riverdale and New Carrollton were built with gas available in many cases, so freestanding gas ranges are common. Electric ranges and wall ovens turn up in apartments and remodels. A galley kitchen puts the oven close to the refrigerator or a wall, and heat from a long bake can affect the cabinets and the appliance next to it.
Testing an oven that won't hold temperature
For a gas oven, we measure the igniter's current draw, since an igniter that glows but draws too little current will not open the oven safety valve. If gas lights normally, we check the temperature sensor's resistance at room temperature and while heating, then compare a thermometer reading in the cavity with the set point. On electric ovens, the bake and broil elements are tested for continuity and visually checked for breaks, and the control board's relays are checked to see whether they send voltage. Self-cleaning ovens get the door lock motor and switch tested. Hot spots and uneven baking can mean a failed convection fan, a worn door gasket or a hinge that lets the door sag.
Galley clearances and oven heat
If the cabinet next to your oven feels hot or its finish is peeling, check that the range is pushed fully back and level. In a narrow galley, an oven with a poor door seal can warm the refrigerator beside it and make that fridge work harder all summer.

Have a different question?
Tell us what make it is and what's going wrong. A few things can be settled over the phone, and anything else gets looked at during the visit.
Many oven controls let you calibrate the temperature by a set number of degrees through a settings menu. If the error is larger or changes from bake to bake, the sensor or the control may be failing, and we test those first. Calibrating over a failing sensor only hides the problem for a while.
