The tickets, priced apart by frame
| Ticket reading | Repair ticket | Replacement ticket |
|---|---|---|
| Headline band, Frame A | $200 average repair | new range, its own ticket |
| Headline band, Frame B | $150-$350 repair | $700-$1,600 new oven and stove |
| Most-jobs line, Frame A | $130-$310 most jobs | no repair line counted |
Each reading is one ticket's own counting: a repair figure prices work on the standing oven, a replacement figure prices a new range, and a repair figure is never carried into a replacement row. The 50% rule stands as printed in the frames' decision prose, named as a rule beside its tickets.
The repair ticket, priced apart by frame
| Repair row | Frame A reading | Frame B reading |
|---|---|---|
| Igniter / heating element | $200 / $275 | common lines in band |
| Control board / thermostat | $225 / $150 | board a common line / in band |
| Electric / gas type rows | $100-$250 / $100-$600 | counted in band |
| Sensor / gas valve | $175 / $150 | counted in band |
The repair ticket is the sum of its own visit only as quoted -- no page here adds the rows into one repair total, and each frame's rows stand in that frame's counting alone.
The replacement ticket and the other ticket, priced apart
| Reading, as published | Ticket | 2026 reading |
|---|---|---|
| Frame B new oven and stove | replacement | $700-$1,600 |
| Frame A full range standing | repair | to $600 full range |
| Cooktop and wall-oven installation rows | separate field | their own field, named apart |
The other ticket and this cluster's repair rows count different purchases: a new range prices a whole new appliance, a repair row prices one part on the standing oven. Neither figure is converted into the other on this page.
The totals behind the tickets, and the neighbours named apart
| Row or total, as published | Frame | 2026 band |
|---|---|---|
| Average repair / most jobs | Frame A | $200 / $130-$310 |
| Repair / new oven and stove | Frame B | $150-$350 / $700-$1,600 |
| Igniter, by frame | Frame A / Frame B | $200 / in $150-$350 band |
The two frames price the same igniter job differently -- Frame A reads an igniter at $200 as a combined parts-and-labor average, while Frame B reads oven repair at $150-$350 as a band with igniters among its common lines. That difference is named as a frame difference on every page here, never averaged. Named apart, never a row here: the appliance-repair hub's single oven row, a family-table row and never an oven-repair price; stovetop and range-top repair rows -- burner, glass-top, and knob rows, their own field; cooktop and wall-oven installation rows, purchases and never repairs; and the appliance replace-vs-repair guide's decision band, a rule and never a price.
