My Uptown condo oven bakes unevenly. Is it the element or the sensor?

It can be either. A burned-out bake or broil element makes the oven heat from one side only, while a drifting temperature sensor throws off the overall temperature. The technician tests both with a meter and checks the door seal, which can also let heat escape.

Do you repair gas ovens in the Fourth Ward and other Uptown townhomes?

Yes. Gas ovens in townhomes commonly need igniters, bake burners or valves tested and replaced. The technician checks the connection to the oven, and any work on the home's gas piping goes to a gas contractor.

Electric Ovens in Towers, Gas in the Townhomes

Many tower apartments have electric kitchens, so the oven is usually part of an electric range or a wall oven heated by bake and broil elements. When one element burns out, the oven heats slowly or only from one direction; when a temperature sensor drifts, baking times stop matching the recipe. Electronic oven controls in newer buildings can also act strangely after a power interruption from a summer thunderstorm.

The townhomes and restored houses around the wards are more likely to have gas cooking. A gas oven that takes a long time to light often has a weak igniter. If you ever smell gas, leave the home and call the gas utility or 911 from outside, and do not try to adjust a gas valve yourself.

For electric models, a safe first step is switching off the oven's breaker for a few minutes to reset the control. If the fault returns, the technician tests the elements, sensor and control board, then explains the cause and gives a price before any part is installed.

Before You Book: Oven / Range Checks

Gas Smell from OvenSafety: Don't attempt this yourself: leave the house without touching switches, then call the gas utility or 911 from outside.
Gas Smell After CookingSafety: If the smell is strong or persistent, leave the house and call the gas utility or 911; don't attempt this yourself.
Oven Continues Heating When Turned OffSafety: Turn the breaker off immediately and keep it off until a technician has inspected the oven.
Bake Element Sparking or ArcingSafety: Turn the oven off and the breaker off immediately, and do not use it until the element is replaced.
