Most oven repair, whether gas or electric, is relatively easy to do. However, it is usually best to call a professional, because making a mistake can be deadly, particularly with a gas oven.

An oven is like a small furnace. They have either heating elements or gas burners. Contrary to popular belief, most ovens do not maintain a steady temperature. Rather, like a furnace, they use a thermostat to turn the heat on and off to raise or lower the temperature. However, some newer models are said to maintain a constant temperature.
