Oven & Stove repair questions
What should I do if I smell gas near my stove?
Do not turn anything on or off. Leave the home right away and call 911 and your gas company from outside. A repair technician should only come after the gas utility says it is safe.
Why is my gas oven not heating?
The most common cause is a weak igniter. It may still glow, but not hot enough to open the gas valve. Replacing the igniter fixes the problem in most cases.
Is it worth repairing an oven?
NAHB data puts electric ranges at about 17 years and gas ranges at about 19 years. Elements, igniters and sensors are low-cost parts, so repair is usually far cheaper than replacement.
Do technicians fix induction cooktops?
Yes. Technicians in our network service induction, smooth-top electric, coil electric and gas cooktops, plus wall ovens and freestanding ranges.
Why does my oven temperature not match the setting?
A worn temperature sensor or a control that needs calibration can throw the reading off noticeably. A technician can test the sensor and fix the setting.
Can I use my oven if one element is broken?
It is best not to. A cracked element can short out, and baking with only one element cooks food unevenly.
