How to Choose Between Repairing or Replacing Your Oven

When your oven breaks down, you’re faced with a critical decision: repair it or replace it. Here’s how to make the right choice.

When to Repair

• Minor Issues: Problems like faulty heating elements, thermostat malfunctions, or door seal replacements are cost-effective to fix.
• Under 10 Years Old: Most ovens have a lifespan of 10-15 years. If your appliance is still within this range, repair is usually a better option.
• Lower Repair Costs: If the repair cost is less than 50% of the price of a new oven, fixing it is the more economical choice.

When to Replace

• Frequent Breakdowns: Constant repairs can add up and indicate the need for a new oven.
• Outdated Model: If your oven lacks modern features like energy efficiency, it might be time to upgrade.
• Expensive Repairs: For major issues like control board failures, replacing the oven could be more cost-effective.
