Why is my gas oven not heating up?

The most common reason a gas oven won't heat is a weak or failed bake igniter. While the igniter may still glow orange, it might not be drawing enough electrical current to open the safety gas valve. Our technicians carry diagnostic tools to test the amp draw and can quickly replace a faulty igniter.

Why are the burners on my electric stove not working?

If an electric surface burner isn't getting hot, the issue is typically a burned-out surface element, a damaged burner receptacle (where the element plugs in), or a faulty infinite switch behind the control knob. We can replace these components safely.

Is it dangerous if I smell gas near my stove?

Yes. If you smell a strong gas odor even when the stove is off, you may have a gas leak. Turn off the gas supply valve behind the stove immediately, open windows to ventilate the area, and call a professional. Never attempt to use the appliance until it has been inspected.

My oven door is locked after a self-clean cycle. How do I open it?

During a self-clean cycle, the oven heats to over 800°F and a safety latch engages. If the latch fails to release after the oven has cooled, the door lock assembly or the main control board may have failed. Do not force the door open, as this will shatter the glass. Give us a call to safely bypass the lock and repair the mechanism.

Do you repair double ovens and wall ovens?

Yes, we service all configurations, including freestanding ranges, slide-in stoves, wall-mounted single ovens, double ovens, and high-end commercial-style residential ranges.
