Is it worth fixing a 10 year old oven depends on type of failure, original cost, and cost of repair versus replacement. For minor repairs like bake element replacement costing 100 to 200 dollars including element at 30 to 80 dollars that fixes oven not heating, temperature sensor replacement at 80 to 150 dollars including sensor at 20 to 40 dollars that fixes inaccurate temperature, door gasket replacement at 80 to 150 dollars including gasket at 20 to 50 dollars that fixes heat loss, and oven light or knob replacement at 20 to 50 dollars, repair is usually worth it if oven is otherwise in good condition and you like its performance, as new wall oven costs 1,200 to 2,800 dollars and new range costs 700 to 1,600 dollars. For major repairs like control board replacement costing 250 to 500 dollars including board at 150 to 400 dollars, and convection fan motor replacement costing 150 to 300 dollars, it is only worth it if oven is premium model like Bosch HBL8651UC costing 2,000 to 2,800 dollars new and was expensive originally, otherwise replacement is better as average lifespan of ovens is 13 to 17 years and 10-year-old oven is at 60 to 75 percent of life, other components like broil element and door hinges will soon fail, and new ovens are more energy efficient and have air fry features. If repair estimate exceeds 50 percent of replacement cost, buy new oven.
