Notes

Ovens are often good repair candidates because many failures are modular (elements, sensors, boards). Repair tends to win when the cavity and door seal are still in good condition and the problem is limited to heating or control components.

Replace is more compelling if the control board is expensive and the unit is older, if the door no longer seals reliably, or if recurring heating issues suggest deeper wiring damage.
