How do brand and quality tier change the repair cost?
Brand and tier adjust the parts portion only — never labour. Basic and mid-range brands are the baseline; premium and luxury lines carry pricier OEM-restricted components. Pick a tier for a class-typical estimate, or a specific brand to override it.

Range / Stove / Oven oven won't turn on: what usually causes it? Estimated
-
Thermal fuse / power supply repair
DIY possible$150–$220 CAD
A very common, inexpensive fix — a tripped thermal fuse from overheating or a power surge is one of the top reasons an oven has no power at all.
-
Bake igniter replacement (gas — no ignition)
DIY possible$150–$300 CAD
Common on gas ranges and ovens — if the igniter glows but never gets hot enough to open the gas valve, the oven won't ignite or turn on.
-
Electronic control board replacement
Pro recommended$250–$520 CAD
Less frequent and pricier — when fuses and igniters check out, a dead electronic control board is usually why the oven won't power on at all.

Is it worth repairing a range / stove / oven, or should you replace it?
A common rule of thumb: if the repair cost exceeds roughly half the price of a comparable new unit — or the appliance is past ~8 years for a range / stove / oven — replacement is often the better value. The calculator's localized totals give you the number to weigh against a new-unit quote.
Prices are provincial-level estimates based on Job Bank labour-cost data, not fake city precision. Shopping in the U.S.? See the U.S. version of this page (USD). See the methodology for the localization method and named sources, or return to the Canadian appliance repair guide.
