Notes

A stove/range is a central kitchen appliance where heating elements and controls are common repair points. Repair is usually worthwhile for single-part failures like an igniter/element, sensor, or switch if the unit is mid-life and otherwise reliable.

Replace becomes more attractive when the control board fails repeatedly, the oven temperature can't stabilize, or multiple burners and oven components need work, pushing costs above the threshold.
