Symptoms
Common Oven and Range Problems and What Causes Them
| What you notice | Likely cause | Safe check before you call |
|---|---|---|
| Gas oven won’t heat | Weak hot surface igniter that glows but not hot enough to open the gas valve, or a failed gas valve | Look through the window: a glowing igniter with no flame after a minute or two points to the igniter |
| Electric oven won’t heat | Burned-out bake element, failed broil element, temperature sensor or control | Look for a visible break or blister on the bake element |
| Temperatures run hot or cold | Temperature sensor, worn igniter, or calibration | Check with an oven thermometer at 350°F after preheating |
| Door locked after self-clean | Door lock motor or switch, or a control fault | Let the oven cool completely. Then switch the breaker off for a few minutes and back on |
| Gas burner clicks but won’t light | Wet or dirty igniter, burner cap out of place, clogged burner ports | Let a wet burner dry fully and seat the cap evenly |
| Burner keeps clicking after it lights | Wet or failing spark switch, or spark module | Make sure no liquid got under the knobs |
| Electric coil burner won’t heat or stays on high | Failed coil element, receptacle or infinite switch | Swap the coil with a working one of the same size to test |
Safety first
If You Smell Gas
Do not turn on the stove, any light switch or use your phone inside. Leave the house, then call 911 and DTE’s Gas Leak Hotline at 800-947-5000 from outside. Call us only after DTE says it is safe. Gas line and venting work in Michigan falls under state mechanical licensing, so ask who holds that license before anyone works on a gas line.
Plan ahead
Thanksgiving Is the Busiest Week for Ovens
Detroit holds the 100th America’s Thanksgiving Parade on Thursday, November 26, 2026, and a lot of turkeys go in the oven the same morning. If your oven runs hot or cold, takes too long to preheat, or the igniter is slow, book a repair in early November instead of the week of the holiday.
Repair or replace
Is Your Oven Worth Repairing?
Ranges last a long time. The National Association of Home Builders puts a gas range at up to 15 years. Igniters, elements, sensors, switches and door locks are usually worth repairing. A failed control board on an older range is the main case where replacing can make more sense. Read the repair or replace guide.

FAQ
Questions Detroit customers ask
Why won’t my gas oven heat?
The most common cause is a weak hot surface igniter. It still glows, but not hot enough to open the gas valve, so the oven never lights. Replacing the igniter fixes most of these calls.
Why is my oven door locked after self-clean?
The door stays locked until the oven cools. If it is still locked once cool, turning the breaker off for a few minutes often resets it. If not, the lock motor, a switch or the control has failed.
Why won’t my gas burner light?
Usually the igniter or burner is wet or dirty, or the burner cap is not seated right. Let it dry and seat the cap. If it still only clicks, the igniter or spark module may need replacing.
Do you repair wall ovens and slide-in ranges?
Yes, along with freestanding gas, electric and dual-fuel ranges.
