When your oven won't heat, won't hold temperature, or bakes unevenly, we diagnose the real cause on-site the same visit. Independent specialists serving Littleton and the Southwest Denver foothills since 2014.
Most oven calls in the Littleton area fall into a handful of failure patterns. Knowing the symptom helps us bring the right parts on the first visit.
Oven won't heat at all, heats but never reaches the set temperature, or shuts off mid-bake. On gas ovens this usually points to a weak igniter that no longer glows hot enough to open the safety gas valve; on electric ovens it points to a failed bake or broil element or a burned bake circuit.
Uneven baking, a broiler that won't fire, a convection fan that rattles or stays silent, a door that won't seal, or an oven that reads 350 but runs 50 degrees hot or cold. Temperature drift is almost always a failing thermostat, oven sensor, or control board, and we confirm it with a calibrated thermocouple rather than guessing.
Every oven repair starts with an $89 diagnostic service call, credited toward the repair if you proceed. Here is what that visit actually covers.
We run the oven through bake, broil, and convection cycles and measure actual cavity temperature with an independent probe, so we treat the real fault, not the symptom you happened to notice.
Using the wiring diagram for your specific model, we test the igniter, elements, thermostat, oven sensor, control board, and door switch in sequence until the fault is confirmed.
You get a firm price for the repair with OEM-quality parts before work begins. Repairs start from $149, with the final figure set after diagnosis.
After the fix we re-measure temperature across a full cycle and recalibrate the thermostat if needed, so the oven that leaves us actually holds the number on the dial.
Built-in wall ovens and pro ranges from Wolf, Viking, Thermador and Sub-Zero are not the same job as a budget freestanding range, and we do not treat them that way.
Littleton sits at roughly 5,350 feet, and thinner air affects gas ovens more than most homeowners expect. A gas oven burns leaner up here, so a weak igniter or a regulator set for sea level can leave the oven struggling to reach temperature or cutting out before the bake cycle finishes.
When we service a gas oven in the foothills we check burner and igniter performance against the altitude, not against a factory spec written for a lowland kitchen. The dry Front Range climate is also hard on door gaskets, drying and cracking the seal faster than in humid regions, which is why we inspect and often replace gaskets as part of a heating-related repair.

Quick Answers
An oven that won't heat is most often caused by a failed heating element on an electric oven or a worn-out igniter on a gas oven that no longer gets hot enough to open the gas valve. A faulty oven sensor, thermostat, or control board can also stop heating. Littleton Appliance Repair diagnoses the exact cause on-site and can usually fix it the same visit.
Oven repairs at Littleton Appliance Repair start from $149, with the final price set after an on-site diagnosis. There is an $89 diagnostic service-call fee, and it is credited toward the repair if you proceed. Call (720) 903-2603 to book a visit.
Yes. An oven that runs hot, cold, or bakes unevenly is usually a failing thermostat, oven temperature sensor, control board, or a worn door gasket that lets heat escape. We measure the actual cavity temperature with a calibrated probe, replace the faulty part, and recalibrate so the oven holds the temperature on the dial.
FAQ
Anything else — call any hour, a real person answers.
Yes. We service gas ovens, electric ovens, and dual-fuel ranges, including built-in wall ovens and pro-style ranges. Gas ovens in the Littleton foothills often need igniter or regulator calibration for the 5,350-foot altitude, which we check on every gas repair.
Yes. A noisy or dead convection fan is usually a worn fan motor, a bad bearing, or a failed relay on the control board. We test the motor and its circuit, replace the faulty part with an OEM-quality component, and confirm the fan runs quietly through a full convection cycle.
Yes. Loose or sagging oven doors are usually worn hinges, and a door that no longer seals often has a cracked or flattened gasket, which the dry Front Range air wears out faster. We replace hinges and gaskets so the door seals tight and the oven preheats and bakes evenly again.
No. We are an independent appliance repair company, not authorized or certified by Wolf, Viking, Sub-Zero, or any manufacturer. We are experienced specialists in these premium brands and use OEM-quality, factory-specified replacement parts.

Our built-in Sub-Zero was keeping the freezer fine but the upper fridge zone was sitting around 55. Turned out to be the dual-evaporator setup, exactly what the tech guessed on the phone. Brian had the sealed system diagnosed the first visit, ordered the part, and had us back to normal within the week. He didn't try to sell us a new unit like the last place did.
One of the dual-stack burners on our Wolf range would click and click but never light. He mentioned it's common up here because the burners need to be calibrated for the altitude, which no one had ever told us. Relit perfectly after and he adjusted the others while he was at it.
Fixed our Sub-Zero the same week we called. Fair price, no upsell.
Our dual-zone wine cabinet had drifted so the bottom zone wouldn't hold temp and there was condensation collecting on the glass. They diagnosed it quickly but the part had to come from the manufacturer and took about four days, so we were without it for most of a week. Once it arrived the fix was solid and both zones are holding right where they should. Worth the wait, just be ready for the parts delay on these.
Miele dishwasher wouldn't drain, standing water in the bottom every cycle. Bad drain pump. In and out in about an hour and he cleaned out the filter housing that was part of the problem too.
The door gasket on our 15-year-old Sub-Zero had gotten brittle and it was sweating around the seal. New OEM gasket and it seals like new again. Appreciated that they used the factory part instead of some universal thing.
Thermador wall oven quit heating right before we were hosting. Called in the morning and they got someone out that same afternoon. Bad igniter. He had the part on the truck and we still made our dinner.
Ice maker in our Sub-Zero was making cloudy hollow cubes and barely any of them. He flushed the system, replaced a valve, and now it actually keeps up when we have people over. Nice guy, wore booties in the house without being asked.
Solid work on our Bosch dishwasher, the drain pump had failed. The only thing is the $89 service call fee felt a little steep before I knew they credit it toward the repair. Once I proceeded it came off the bill, so no real complaint, just wish I'd understood that up front.
Our Viking freezer was building up a wall of frost and not defrosting on its own. Turned out to be the defrost heater. Fixed it and explained what was going on so I understood why it happened.
Two burners on our Wolf cooktop wouldn't spark. Tech recalibrated them for the elevation and swapped the igniters. Works better than it has in years honestly.
Warm upper zone on our Sub-Zero, classic apparently. They knew exactly what it was, ordered the evaporator part, and came back to install it a couple days later. Honest and easy to deal with the whole way through.
Not many people around here will even touch a Gaggenau. These guys did, got the control board sorted, and were straight with me about the cost of the part on a unit this expensive.
Miele steam oven throwing an error and shutting off mid-cook. The tech was great and clearly knew the unit, but he ran about 40 minutes behind the window they gave me and I had to shuffle some things around. Fixed it in one visit though and it's been perfect since, so I'd still call them again.
Had them out for our built-in outdoor grill that wasn't lighting evenly. Didn't expect them to do outdoor units but they did and dialed it in for the altitude. Grilling season saved.
Quick, clean, and they answered when I called at 9pm the night before. Dishwasher's draining again.
This was a big one, the sealed system on our Sub-Zero failed and that's a job a lot of shops won't take on. They did it right, used factory-spec parts, and stood behind the work. Given it's a $12k built-in I'm glad I found someone who actually knew these inside and out instead of just replacing the whole fridge.
Wine fridge kept fogging up on the door and the temp was bouncing around. Fixed same visit and no more condensation.
