# La Cornue oven element and broiler replacement cost

### Why the terminals matter more than the element

An element rarely fails in the middle of its length. It fails at a terminal, where the connection has been heating and cooling for twenty years, and a burnt terminal block will destroy a new element as efficiently as it destroyed the old one. So the job includes the connections and the supports rather than treating them as somebody else’s problem — which is the difference between a repair and a part swap, and it is where the figure goes.

What moves this figure

from $255, covering the circuit that has actually failed

Terminals and supports are part of the job, not an extra

Both functions tested to temperature before we leave

Bake or broil

Two separate circuits, two separate parts, and the symptom tells us which.

Gas side, electric side, or the Tourelle — three different platforms.

Whether the terminals are burnt

Where elements actually fail, and where a new one will fail early if the cause is left.

Element availability

Current-line elements are sourced domestically; an older configuration may not be.

Whether the control is implicated

An element that has failed because a control was cycling it wrongly is two repairs presented as one.

Why the terminals matter more than the element

An element rarely fails in the middle of its length. It fails at a terminal, where the connection has been heating and cooling for twenty years, and a burnt terminal block will destroy a new element as efficiently as it destroyed the old one. So the job includes the connections and the supports rather than treating them as somebody else’s problem — which is the difference between a repair and a part swap, and it is where the figure goes.

### Only the top browns. Is that one element or two?

One, almost certainly — and it is good news, because it means the broil circuit is working and the bake circuit is not. On this make that is entirely possible: the vaulted gas ovens carry an electric broiler over a gas burner, and the electric ovens have separate bake and broil elements. Tell us which function still works and we bring the right part.

### Is it worth replacing both while you are there?

Usually not, and we will not push it. Elements do not wear out in sympathy, and the second one is genuinely likely to have years left. The exception is an oven where both have visibly discoloured and the range has done decades — then doing both on one visit saves a second labor charge, and we will say so and let you decide.
