Question 1

Is it safe to keep using the range until you get here?

Accepted Answer

If you smell gas, shut the range off at the valve behind it, open a window, and call the gas company before you call us. Short of that, a cooktop burner that lights right away is fine to keep using, but stop baking in an oven that lights with a delay or a soft thump, because that is unburned gas collecting in the cavity before it catches. We can usually get out the same day when you call before 2 PM.

Question 2

Can you get parts for a Wolf or Thermador range, or does that take weeks?

Accepted Answer

We work on Wolf, Viking, Thermador, Bosch, KitchenAid and Jenn-Air along with GE, Samsung, LG, Whirlpool and Frigidaire. Igniters, sensors, elements, switches and hinges for those brands ride on the van, and they cover most pro-style calls. Sealed burner assemblies and brand-specific control boards have to be ordered, so those take a second trip.

Question 3

Is a fifteen-year-old range worth repairing, or should I just replace it?

Accepted Answer

Age matters less than which half of the range failed. Anything on the heating and control side is a serviceable wear part, still manufactured, and worth replacing on a range of almost any vintage, since the cabinet, the burners and the wiring around it are untouched. What we tell people to stop spending on is the one-off side: a cracked ceramic top, a main harness cooked at the terminal block, or a control board the manufacturer no longer builds, and on an older range those rarely show up alone.

Question 4

Do you repair built-in wall ovens and cooktops, or only freestanding ranges?

Accepted Answer

Both, along with slide-ins, gas and electric cooktops, induction tops, and double wall ovens where only one cavity has quit. A wall oven has to come out of its cabinet far enough to reach the rear panel, and a drop-in cooktop gets lifted from above, so clearing the counter and emptying the cabinet or drawers underneath before we arrive saves real time. If it is a heavy pro-style built-in, mention that when you book so we plan the pull-out.

Question 5

How long does oven & stove repair usually take?

Accepted Answer

Most oven & stove repairs are completed in one visit. Diagnostic takes 20-30 minutes; the fix itself depends on the issue, usually 1-2 hours.

Question 6

How does the $75 diagnostic work?

Accepted Answer

Flat fee for a licensed tech to inspect the appliance and give you an upfront repair quote. No hidden charges.

Question 7

Do you work on built-in or luxury oven & stoves?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We specialize in Sub-Zero, Viking, Thermador, Wolf, Miele, Bosch and other luxury brands — and built-in configurations.

Question 8

What if the repair costs more than replacement?

Accepted Answer

We'll tell you honestly if replacement is the smarter move. No incentive to push repairs that don't make sense.

Question 9

Do you warranty the work?

Accepted Answer

Yes — parts and labor. OEM parts where appropriate so the fix lasts.

Question 10

Oven takes forever to reach the set temperature

Accepted Answer

The hot surface igniter on a gas oven has aged. It still glows, but its current draw has fallen below what the gas safety valve needs to open, so gas releases late and the burner runs long cycles trying to catch up. We clamp the igniter leg and read actual amp draw instead of judging it by the glow. A healthy carbide igniter sits around 3.2 to 3.6 amps, and one that has drifted under about 3 still lights up orange without ever pulling the valve open. These igniters are stocked on the van, so we swap it and then watch the valve open on a cold start before we pack up.

Question 11

Oven quit right after I ran self-clean

Accepted Answer

Self-clean drives the cavity far above baking temperature, and the thermal fuse or thermal cutoff opens to protect the range. That same heat commonly takes the bake element or the door lock motor with it in the same cycle. The fuse is a one-shot part, so it gets replaced rather than reset, and we load-test the bake and broil elements and run the door lock through a full cycle before closing up. Replacing only the fuse just opens the new one on the next bake.

Question 12

Burner keeps clicking even after the flame lights

Accepted Answer

The spark electrode is wet, cracked, or carboned over from a boilover, so the module keeps firing at it. A burner cap sitting off its seat, or a burner switch with contacts stuck closed, holds the spark on the same way. We dry and clean the electrode, reseat or replace the cap, and check each switch for contacts that never open. Switches and spark modules for the common ranges ride on the van, which is why this one usually closes in a single visit.

Question 13

Cookies burn on the bottom and stay pale on top

Accepted Answer

The oven temperature sensor has drifted low, so the control believes the cavity is cooler than it is and holds the bake element on, scorching from below. A flattened door gasket or a sagged hinge widens the split by letting the hottest air out the top of the door. We read the sensor cold, since most sit near 1,080 ohms at room temperature and climb about two ohms per degree, then log real cavity temperature at heat with a probe and compare the two. The sensor gets replaced or the calibration offset gets set, and a flattened gasket or sagged hinge gets addressed at the same time, because a calibrated oven still bakes unevenly if the door is leaking.

Question 14

Cooktop element only runs at full blast now

Accepted Answer

The infinite switch behind that knob has welded contacts. The bimetal inside no longer opens, so the element stops cycling and stays on wherever the knob is set. The switch gets replaced, and the element receptacle and its wiring get inspected while the top is open, because a heat-damaged terminal there will cook the new switch the same way. If that terminal block is burned, it goes in with the switch rather than getting left for a second call.

Question 15

My oven won't heat — gas or electric, what fails?

Accepted Answer

Electric ovens: bake element or control board. Gas ovens: the igniter is the #1 failure — if it glows but the burner never lights, it's too weak to open the gas valve. Both are stocked parts and same-visit repairs.

Question 16

Why does my oven cook unevenly?

Accepted Answer

A burned-out bake or broil element, a failed convection fan, or a temperature sensor reading wrong. We test each and calibrate the oven after repair so your recipes behave again.

Question 17

What are the signs of a broken igniter?

Accepted Answer

Clicking that never lights, an igniter that glows orange but no flame, or an oven that takes many minutes to light. Weak igniters fail gradually — replacing one restores instant, reliable lighting.

Question 18

A burner won't turn on — can you fix just one burner?

Accepted Answer

Yes. On gas ranges it's usually a clogged burner head, failed spark electrode, or spark module; on electric, the element receptacle or infinite switch. We repair per-burner — no need to replace the range.

Question 19

What does control board failure look like on an oven?

Accepted Answer

Dead display, error codes, buttons that don't respond, or an oven that heats on its own. Florida storm-season power surges are a common cause. We diagnose at module level and quote before replacing anything.

Question 20

The oven door won't close properly — is heat escaping?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and it wrecks both cooking results and energy use. Worn door hinges, a broken door spring, or a flattened gasket are the usual causes — all replaceable in one visit.

Question 21

I smell gas near my oven — what do I do?

Accepted Answer

If the smell is strong: don't switch anything on or off, ventilate, leave, and call your gas utility's emergency line first. For faint intermittent odors around the appliance, book us urgently — a failing valve, regulator, or connection needs professional attention.
