Oven & Range Repair in Tigard, Oregon

An oven that won't hold temperature the week you're hosting is its own category of emergency — and Tigard is where our clock starts, because the van begins its day on SW Washington Square Road. Gas or electric, wall oven or slide-in, 97223 and 97224 kitchens get the first open slot.

The failure map is mercifully predictable. Gas ranges — common in Metzger's established homes — stop lighting when the hot-surface igniter ages: it may still glow, but too weakly to prove itself to the safety valve, so gas never flows. It's the most-replaced part in the gas-oven world and among the most affordable. Electric ovens fail more visibly: bake elements blister or go dark, broil elements quit, and a healthy element confesses its resistance to a meter in seconds. Above both sit the shared suspects — temperature sensors that drift until your bakes run 25–50 degrees dishonest, door gaskets and hinges bleeding heat, and control relays that stick.

The self-clean confession

A striking share of Tigard oven calls begin with "it died right after self-clean." That cycle's extreme heat is a stress test, and marginal thermal fuses, sensors and door locks fail it on schedule. If your oven is past its tenth birthday, our standing advice is to skip the self-clean button entirely — and if it's already too late, the resulting repair is usually modest and well-mapped.

Calibrated, not just running

We verify every temperature repair with a thermocouple against the dial before leaving — because "it heats now" and "350 means 350" are different finish lines, and only the second one saves the dinner party. One written price, most jobs one visit.
