Counted from the 8 profiles above, not from a survey. Everything a business states about itself is reported as a claim.
North Dakota holds 8 listed oven & range repair businesses, out of 672 nationwide. That ranks 45th of the 50 states with any, level with New Hampshire and behind Florida on 27. Every business listed in North Dakota covers it, so this page and the North Dakota directory hold the same 8 businesses.
Their ratings average 4.6, level with the 4.6 average across all 672 listed nationwide, and 8 of the 8 sit at 4.5 or better. 1 holds a straight 5.0, and none sits below 4.0. Between them they carry 410 reviews, the largest single tally being 150 on Appliance Pros in Fargo. Rating and review volume are what the businesses' own public profiles report — treat a high average on six reviews differently from the same average on six hundred.
By review volume the group is led by Appliance Pros in Fargo (150 reviews, 5.0), The Repair Man in Fargo (112 reviews, 4.6) and R&A Appliance LLC in Bismarck (78 reviews, 4.5). By rating it is Appliance Pros at 5.0 on 150 reviews, The Repair Man at 4.6 on 112 reviews and R&A Appliance LLC at 4.5 on 78 reviews. Those are two different questions and they rarely give the same answer — volume tells you a company has been doing this at scale, a high average on a handful of reviews tells you much less.
All 8 state that they are licensed, and all state that they carry insurance. On top of that, 7 show a Better Business Bureau accreditation in the profiles. None advertises round-the-clock emergency cover, but 1 advertises same-day service. All of that is self-stated in the listing, not verified here: ask for the license number and a current certificate of insurance, and for anything that opens a sealed refrigerant system ask to see federal EPA Section 608 certification, which is required in all fifty states.
4 of the 8 publish a founding year: the longest-established has been trading since 2004, and the median across those that say is 21 years. Fargo holds the most at 2 — 25% of the group — followed by Bismarck on 1, across 7 North Dakota cities with an index page. Between them they name 25 distinct towns, suburbs and neighborhoods in their stated service areas, so coverage reaches well past the cities listed here — give your address when you call rather than assuming.

The 5 most common oven & range faults, and whether each is homeowner work or a job for a licensed technician.
Oven will not reach temperature or will not heat at all
TechnicianA failed bake element on an electric oven, or a weak igniter that no longer draws enough current to open the gas safety valve.
Step-by-step: Oven Not Heating At All→Food burns on one side and undercooks on the other
Homeowner fixA drifted temperature sensor, a partially failed element, or a convection fan that has stopped. Calibration fixes drift; the rest needs parts.
Step-by-step: Oven Not Heating Evenly→Surface burner clicks but will not light
Homeowner fixA clogged burner port or a wet spark electrode after a boil-over. Clean and dry it before assuming the spark module has failed.
Step-by-step: Gas Burner Won't Light→One electric surface element stays cold
TechnicianThe element itself, its receptacle block, or the infinite switch behind the knob. Swap in a known-good element to tell which.
Step-by-step: Electric Burner Not Working→Control panel dead, frozen, or throwing an F-code
TechnicianThe electronic oven control board, or a relay on it that has welded. Common after a self-clean cycle overheats the board.
10 published oven & range guides. A diagnostic fee is $50–$120 before any work starts, so half an hour with a flashlight is worth spending.
Ask the technician to walk you through these while they are on site — every one of them prevents a fault in the list above.
Verify temperature with an oven thermometer and recalibrate
AnnuallyPrevents: Years of blamed recipes and an unnecessary service call.
Clean burner ports with a pin and dry electrodes fully
Every 3 monthsPrevents: Continuous clicking and burners that will not light.
Wipe spills while the cavity is warm instead of running self-clean
After heavy usePrevents: The self-clean heat cycle that kills control boards and door locks.

Every state with a listed oven & range specialist, most first. North Dakota sits 45th of 50 on 8.
National ranges for parts and labor together, before the $50–$120 diagnostic. Labor tracks local wages and drive time, so metro North Dakota sits toward the top of each range and rural calls toward the bottom, while the part costs about the same anywhere. Nothing here is a quote.
| Repair | Parts + labor |
|---|---|
| Oven calibration and temperature checkOften the whole answer for uneven baking. | $80–$150 |
| Bake or broil element (electric)Part is $15–$40; two screws and a connector. | $150–$300 |
| Oven temperature sensorShould read about 1,080 ohms at room temperature. | $150–$280 |
| Surface burner igniter or spark moduleClean the ports first — many modules are replaced needlessly. | $150–$300 |
| Oven igniter (gas)Licensed work; a weak igniter that still glows is a real failure mode. | $180–$350 |
| Door lock assembly or hinge setHinges are replaced in pairs. | $180–$350 |
13–15 years, and gas ranges frequently outlive that because their cooktop side is almost entirely mechanical. Electric ranges are limited by their control board rather than by anything you can see. When replacing beats repairing covers the 4 cases where the maths turns, in full.
Blue Book
A quote above $500 on a oven & range past 9 years old is usually better spent on a replacement.
