Common fault
Why is my oven not heating properly?
Short answer
Most ovens that "stopped working" are still working — they are heating to the wrong temperature and doing it faithfully. The temperature sensor drifts with age and the control obeys it, which shows up as uneven browning or a roast that suddenly takes an extra half hour. An oven producing no heat at all is usually cheaper: on gas, an igniter that still glows but no longer draws enough current to open the valve; on electric, the element or its relay.
If that matches what your appliance is doing, say so when you call — it tells us which parts to bring, and most of these are finished in one visit.

What La Jolla customers say
Our Sub-Zero freezer went out on a Sunday. They answered immediately and had a technician at our home in Bird Rock within two hours. Incredibly professional and fast service!
The technician who fixed our wine cooler was so knowledgeable. He explained the problem clearly and gave us a fair price. Excellent service for our home near La Jolla Shores.
Finally, a repair service that operates 24/7 as advertised. They were able to come late in the evening to fix our refrigerator in the Muirlands area. Lifesavers!
