Cooking Faults We See Weekly
We take electric coil, smooth-top, induction and gas ranges, wall ovens and cooktops. Kitchens around the North End still run some proud old workhorses, and we treat a 1970s Frigidaire with the same respect as this year’s slide-in.
Electric ovens: elements and temperature sensors head the list, with relay boards behind them. We verify actual cavity temperature against the control’s belief with an instrumented bake, so the fix answers the symptom you called about — not just whichever part looked tired.
Gas: igniters weaken long before they fail, and a weak igniter can let unburned gas puff before lighting. That earns a same-week visit, not a someday visit. Spark modules, valves and orifice cleaning are all routine work.
Self-clean lockouts, hinge and gasket repairs, and control-panel faults round out the calls. One thing we do not do is bypass safety devices to get heat back — a jumpered thermal cutoff is not a repair, and you will not find one behind our work.
Symptoms We Hear on the Phone
- Preheat takes forever or never signals
- Bake works, broil doesn’t — or the reverse
- Gas burner clicks without lighting, or lights and clicks forever
- Smooth-top zone dead or stuck on high
- Door locked after a self-clean cycle
- F-code on the display that returns after a reset
