Gas oven in tenants apartment not working

Albert Johnson
Posted

I have a tenant whose gas oven isn't working. The top burners work but the oven doesn't. 

How do you usually handle these issues?

I plan to go get a first hand look at the issue and see if there is gas getting through to the oven. If it isn't I will check the switch to see if it's on or off and go from there.

If it’s more than 5-6 years old you buy a new one. Stoves are 1/2 the price of microwaves. Ps. Even if everything else is black or white, start the conversion to stainless. 

A new stove costs maybe $600, most repairs se going to start at $250 with labor and parts. Your tenant gets a working stove the same or next day, only gets interrupted once, and feels appreciated. If they stay an extra week, much less month or year, it will pay for itself.
