Whether it is worth fixing an oven depends heavily on the cost of the repair relative to the price of a brand-new appliance and the overall age of the unit. Generally, major home appliances like ovens are expected to last between 10 to 15 years, meaning an appliance older than seven years is past its midpoint. If the repair cost is less than half the price of a new replacement—such as a simple igniter replacement, heating element swap, or thermostat fix—it is usually well worth repairing. However, if the repair involves a major control board failure, replacing it becomes more sensible.
