A Kenmore oven ran far cooler than the set temperature.
What our technicians usually find: the temperature sensor, a weak igniter, the bake element or calibration.

A Kenmore from Lincolnia, in the requests on this page, ran far cooler than its set temperature. The temperature sensor, a weak igniter on a gas model, the bake element on an electric one, or calibration is usually the cause, and testing tells us which.
A Frigidaire in Del Ray stopped working altogether, apparently from a faulty control panel. When the display is dead or the keys don't respond, the touchpad or the control board is the likely part, though switching the oven off at the breaker for a minute is worth trying first.
A Samsung in the West End leaked gas while it wasn't in use, and the gas company had already flagged a failed regulator. If you smell gas near a range, don't touch the controls or light switches; leave the house and call Washington Gas or 911 from outside. Once the gas company has made it safe, the regulator or valve can be replaced.
Historic kitchens in Old Town rarely have space for a wall oven, so many ovens here are part of a range, gas or electric.

Online oven repair requests from the Alexandria area are most often for wrong temperatures, fan noise and broiler problems. Common calls include oven not heating, temperature inaccurate, broiler not working, igniter problems, control panel failure and convection fan noise. The exact cause is confirmed during diagnosis.
Usually. Check it with an oven thermometer first. If it's well off, the temperature sensor, the igniter or the bake element is the likely part, and once those test good the oven can be recalibrated.
The regulator, which controls the gas pressure to the burners and oven, needs replacing, and the connections are leak-tested afterward. Tell us the brand and model when you book, since regulators are specific to the range.
Safe basics: confirm the breaker, make sure the controls are not in a delay or lock mode, and check the door closes fully. Heating elements, igniters and internal wiring run on serious current - those belong to a technician.
