Oven, Cooktop & Range Repair

What's Going Wrong With Your Oven or Cooktop?

If your refrigerator or freezer is doing any of these things, it's time to call.

OVEN PROBLEMS

Problem 1 — Oven Won't Heat or Takes Forever to Reach Temperature On electric ovens, this almost always points to a failed bake element, a faulty broil element, or a malfunctioning oven temperature sensor. On gas ovens, the igniter is the first thing to check — a weak or failing igniter is the most common cause of a gas oven that won't heat properly. We identify which component has failed before recommending any parts.

Problem 2 — Oven Temperature Is Off If your oven runs hot, runs cold, or produces unevenly cooked food even when preheated fully, the temperature sensor or the oven's control board is usually responsible. A miscalibrated thermostat can often be adjusted without a full replacement.

Problem 3 — Broiler Not Working On electric ovens, a failed broil element is the typical culprit — it's a separate heating element from the bake element and fails independently. On gas ovens, the broiler igniter or gas valve can be the issue

Problem 4 — Self-Clean Cycle Problems A self-clean cycle that won't start, won't complete, or leaves the oven locked and unresponsive afterward is usually a door latch motor issue or a control board fault. This is more common than most homeowners realize and very fixable.

Problem 5 — Oven Door Won't Close Properly A door that doesn't seal fully lets heat escape continuously — your oven runs longer, uses more energy, and still can't reach temperature consistently. Worn door hinges and a damaged door gasket are the usual causes.

COOKTOP & BURNER PROBLEMS

Problem 7 — Gas Burner Won't Ignite If you're hearing clicking but getting no flame, or no response at all when you turn the knob, the issue is usually a dirty or cracked igniter, a clogged burner cap, or a faulty spark module. In many cases, a thorough cleaning of the burner components resolves it without any parts replacement.

Problem 8 — Gas Burner Clicking Constantly A burner that keeps clicking after it's lit — or even when the stove is off — is almost always moisture in the igniter assembly. This commonly happens after a boilover. It usually resolves on its own as the components dry, but if it persists, the igniter switch may need replacement.

Problem 9 — Electric Burner Not Heating On coil cooktops, a burner that doesn't heat is usually the burner element itself or the burner socket — both inexpensive and straightforward to replace. On smooth-top glass ceramic cooktops, the heating element beneath the glass or the infinite switch controlling that burner is typically the fault.

Problem 10 — Uneven Flame on Gas Burner A weak, uneven, or yellow-orange flame instead of a strong blue one usually means the burner ports are clogged with grease or food debris. A thorough cleaning often fixes it. If the flame remains uneven after cleaning, the gas valve or pressure regulator may need attention.
