Our oven takes extremely long to preheat.

My wife has to set at 350 and it takes 30+ minites to finish. If she has to go to a higher temp it takes even longer.

Where do I start ?????

Since that appears to be a gas range, actually observing what the oven burner ignition system is doing would usually be one of the first things required.

Your oven uses a hot surface (glow ignitor) ignition system. You can read about how they work and the observations and tests necessary to start diagnosing problems with them at the following link:

LINK > Understanding Gas Oven Ignition Systems


The most common troublemakers in such a system can be seen at the following links:

Dan, the Oven Ignitor did the trick. I changed and preheating is less than 10 minutes.

Overall repair took me 2 hrs to change

Thank you for your suggestion and helpful links
