Is it expensive to replace burners or igniters on a Gas Range?
Updated May 2026 – reflects current gas range repair costs and replacement part trends.
Yes. Replacing burners or igniters on a gas range can be moderately expensive, especially if both parts and labor are required after the manufacturer warranty expires. While individual igniter or burner replacements are less costly than major appliance repairs, service calls, specialized parts, and labor often add up—particularly for premium or built-in ranges, or when multiple components fail. Repair professionals often report that igniter failures are a common reason gas ranges stop lighting, and labor charges can vary depending on the complexity of the repair and the accessibility of the parts. Many homeowners research protection plans or extended coverage to help manage these repair costs, especially as appliances age or after the initial warranty period ends.
Quick Summary
Here’s what you need to know about burner and igniter replacement costs on gas ranges:
- Igniter and burner replacements are among the more common gas range repairs after several years of use.
- Repair costs can range from modest for a single igniter to higher for multiple burners, premium models, or complex installations.
- Labor charges and service calls often make up a significant portion of total repair cost.
- Failures tend to increase as gas ranges age, especially with frequent use or heavy cooking.
- Extended protection plans can help cover unexpected repair costs when manufacturer warranties have expired.

Why It Can Be Expensive or Important |
CPS Repair Insights |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Gas Range Igniter |
Failure to light burner |
Labor and part costs, frequent repair need as appliance ages |
CPS claims data shows gas range igniter failures commonly increase 3–6 years into ownership, especially after repeated heat cycling and grease exposure begin affecting spark modules and ignition switches. Historical CPS repair data suggests approved igniter-related claims typically range from $240–$520, though premium slide-in and built-in models can exceed $700 once labor and diagnostic time are included. Claims involving recurring ignition failures often require secondary burner switch or wiring harness replacement, contributing to repeat service visits in roughly 18%–24% of approved repair events. |
|
Gas Burner |
Uneven flame or won’t light |
Specialized burner parts, diagnosis, and installation |
Based on CPS claim trends, burner assembly failures frequently emerge shortly after manufacturer warranty expiration due to clogged ports, warped burner caps, or deteriorating valve alignment components. CPS repair history shows repair invoices commonly fall between $280–$640 depending on whether sealed burner systems or specialty burner heads are involved. Across approved CPS appliance claims, uneven flame complaints often require extended diagnostics because ignition, gas flow, and spark issues can overlap, increasing labor exposure and pushing some repairs close to 40% of replacement value for older ranges. |
|
Electronic Control Board |
Unresponsive controls or error codes |
Advanced diagnostics, higher replacement part costs |
CPS claims activity indicates electronic control board failures are among the highest-cost gas range repairs, particularly on smart-enabled or convection-equipped models 4–7 years into ownership. According to historical CPS repair records, control board replacements commonly range from $480–$1,050 due to programming requirements, specialty part sourcing, and repeat diagnostic visits. Service history from CPS claims indicates nearly 30% of board-related repairs involve secondary failures tied to wiring harnesses, touch panels, or relay boards, which can significantly escalate final invoice totals compared to the original estimate. |
|
Gas Valve |
Gas flow issues or leaks |
Safety-critical repair, may require licensed technician |
Historical CPS repair data suggests gas valve failures become more common during later-stage ownership periods as internal seals wear and regulators weaken from long-term thermal stress. Claims involving these failures typically require licensed gas technicians, leak testing, and multiple safety inspections, contributing to repair costs commonly ranging from $420–$950. Based on CPS claims data from comparable repair events, repair approval trends decline when valve replacement costs approach 50%–60% of the appliance’s current replacement value, particularly for entry-level freestanding units. |
|
Oven Igniter |
Oven won’t heat |
Labor-intensive replacement, especially for built-in models |
CPS repair history shows oven igniter failures are one of the most common post-warranty heating complaints, usually appearing 2–5 years into ownership after repeated preheat cycles weaken the igniter’s electrical resistance. Across approved CPS appliance claims, oven igniter repairs generally range from $260–$580, while built-in or dual-fuel models can exceed $800 because of access limitations and extended labor requirements. CPS claims data also shows delayed repairs are common since many consumers initially mistake slow preheating for normal aging behavior, which can contribute to additional stress on relay boards and temperature-control systems over time. |
