The Falls Church oven request listed here was a GE with broken bake and broil elements. That's one of the more straightforward oven repairs. An element that has split or blistered is easy to spot, and replacing it is usually quick.
An oven that won't heat has a short list of causes. On electric, it's the bake element, the temperature sensor or the control board. On gas, the bake igniter is the usual one, followed by the safety valve and the sensor.
Older Falls Church houses often still have a wall oven from an earlier remodel. The cabinet cutouts were sized for the ovens of their time, so a replacement may not fit without carpentry. That tips a lot of these toward repair.
If your oven heats but bakes unevenly, test it with an oven thermometer at 350 before booking. A sensor that has drifted is cheap to replace, and some ovens can be calibrated from the panel.

Online oven repair requests from Falls Church have been for not heating. 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.
It's better not to. A broken element can short out, trip the breaker or damage the wiring. If you see sparks, turn the oven off at the breaker. Elements are a common, inexpensive repair.
Most often the bake igniter. It still glows but no longer draws enough current to open the gas valve. Look through the slots at the bottom of the oven: if the igniter glows for a long time without the burner lighting, that's the likely cause.
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.
