Notes

Ranges are long-lived major appliances, and many repairs are economically sensible when limited to igniters, switches, or sensors. Repair is typically worth it if the oven heats unevenly due to a sensor or element issue and the cabinet and wiring are in good shape.

Replace if there are repeated control-board failures, significant wiring damage, or if multiple major components fail in a short period. Safety considerations (gas leaks, electrical shorts) should override purely economic decisions.
