If you're noticing any of these, it's time for a diagnostic.
If your oven fails to heat up at all, or only reaches a very low temperature, it can indicate a problem with the heating element, igniter, or temperature sensor. This makes baking and roasting impossible and requires immediate attention to diagnose the root cause.
For gas stoves, a burner that clicks continuously but doesn't light usually points to an issue with the igniter, gas flow, or a clogged burner port. Electric burners might not heat if their element is faulty or if there's an electrical connection problem.
When food consistently cooks unevenly, with some areas burning while others remain undercooked, it often signals a calibration issue with the temperature sensor or a malfunctioning heating element. This can be frustrating for precise cooking and affects food quality.
Modern stoves often show specific error codes on their digital display when a fault is detected. These codes correspond to various internal issues, from sensor malfunctions to control board problems. Consulting the owner's manual or a technician is necessary to interpret and address these codes.
What we typically find when we diagnose these symptoms.
Both oven and surface electric burners rely on heating elements to generate heat. Over time, these elements can burn out or become damaged, preventing the stove from reaching the desired temperature. Replacement of the specific element is usually required to restore functionality.
For gas stoves, the igniter is crucial for lighting the gas. If it's weak, cracked, or simply worn out, it may fail to produce a spark, preventing the burner or oven from lighting. A faulty igniter often needs to be replaced to ensure proper gas ignition.
The temperature sensor in an oven monitors the internal temperature and sends signals to the control board to maintain accuracy. If this sensor is faulty, it can lead to incorrect temperature readings, resulting in the oven overheating or not heating sufficiently, causing uneven cooking.
The main control board acts as the 'brain' of your stove, regulating all functions, including heating elements, igniters, and temperature sensors. A defect in the control board can manifest as various symptoms, from burners not working to error codes appearing, often requiring a professional diagnosis and replacement.
A handful of symptoms that mean it's time to stop and bring in a pro.
If you detect a distinct smell of natural gas or propane, especially when the stove is not in use, evacuate the area immediately and contact your gas provider or emergency services. Do not operate any electrical switches or create any sparks.
Any visible smoke, sparks, or a persistent burning smell coming from your stove, particularly from electrical components, indicates a serious electrical fault. Turn off the stove at the circuit breaker and call a professional technician right away to prevent further damage or fire hazards.
If your oven or a burner continues to heat uncontrollably, even after turning it off, or if it catches fire, immediately cut power to the appliance at the main breaker. This situation poses a significant fire risk and requires expert intervention.
Safe checks that may save you a service call. Never open the appliance — visual + power checks only.
For electric stoves, ensure the appliance is fully plugged into the outlet and that the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. A tripped breaker will prevent the stove or oven from receiving power, often causing all functions to cease. Resetting it might restore operation.
If you have a gas stove, confirm that the gas supply valve behind the appliance is fully open. Sometimes, it can be accidentally nudged into a partially closed position during cleaning, restricting gas flow to the burners or oven.
For gas burners, make sure the burner caps and bases are clean and properly seated after cleaning. Clogged ports or misaligned components can prevent proper ignition or even flame distribution. Gently clean any debris around the burner holes.
For electric stoves, visually inspect the surface and oven heating elements for any signs of physical damage, such as breaks, blisters, or discolored spots. A damaged element will often appear visibly faulty and will not heat up when activated.
If your stove has a digital display showing an error code, refer to your appliance's owner's manual. Many manuals provide troubleshooting steps and explanations for common error codes, which can sometimes be resolved with simple resets.
If one burner or the oven isn't working, try testing other burners or different oven functions. This can help determine if the problem is isolated to a single component or if it's a more widespread issue affecting the entire stove, pointing to power or control board problems.
What affects your final bill.

120 service call waived with repair
The cost of stove repair can vary significantly based on the specific part that needs replacement and the complexity of the repair. Simple fixes like replacing a faulty igniter or a basic surface element tend to be on the lower end. More involved repairs, such as replacing an oven heating element, temperature sensor, or certain control board components, will fall into a higher price bracket. These figures do not include the diagnostic fee, which as noted, is waived with any completed repair. Prices can also fluctuate based on the specific premium brand and part availability.
