Range & Stove Repair

Try This Before Calling

Two checks resolve a significant number of gas stove repair calls at no cost.

First, remove the burner cap and inspect it for food debris clogging the gas ports: even a small buildup after cooking stops ignition entirely. Clean the cap with a toothpick or thin wire, dry it fully, and test before calling for service.

Second, if the stove was recently cleaned or got wet, moisture on the spark igniter prevents the spark from generating. Let the stove dry completely with the burners removed, then test again. If neither resolves the issue, a component has failed and needs a technician.

Gas Stove Burner Not Lighting

When the burner clicks repeatedly but won’t light after the two checks above, the spark igniter has failed or cracked. A visible crack or chip on the igniter tip confirms this. A failed spark module that powers all the igniters simultaneously is the second cause: if no burners spark at all, the module is the likely culprit. A gas valve that’s not opening to supply gas to the burner produces a click with no flame. Gas stove burner not lighting on one burner while others work normally isolates the fault to that specific igniter or burner cap rather than the module or valve.

Gas Stove Not Igniting on Any Burner

When none of the burners will spark, the spark module that distributes power to all igniters is almost always the cause. A tripped circuit breaker on the stove’s electrical circuit is the first thing to check: gas stoves still require electricity for ignition. Gas stove not igniting on all burners simultaneously after a power event confirms the electrical circuit rather than any burner component. A failed igniter switch on the control panel that stopped sending the spark signal is the second mechanical cause. Book online for same-day diagnosis.

Gas Stove Won't Light in Older Models With Pilot

Older gas ranges use a standing pilot light rather than electronic ignition. Gas stove won’t light on these models almost always means the pilot has gone out. Locate the pilot tube near the center of the burner assembly, hold a lit match to it, and turn the gas valve slightly to relight. If the pilot lights but won’t stay lit, a clogged pilot orifice or a faulty thermocouple is the cause. Pilot light not working repeatedly after relighting points to a gas supply issue or a failing thermocouple that needs replacement.

Stove Not Heating in Electric Models

Stove not heating on an electric range almost always means a failed bake element or a burned-out surface element. A surface burner that heats on one side but not the other has a partially failed surface element or a faulty infinite switch that controls the power level to that specific burner. Electric stove burner not working completely — no heat at all — confirms the element has burned through or the infinite switch has failed. Replacing a surface element is one of the most straightforward electric stove repairs and is almost always completed same-day.

Electric Stove Burner Not Working

A burner that gets power but won’t heat to the correct temperature has a surface element that has degraded below rated output. A burner that cycles on and off erratically rather than holding steady heat has a failing infinite switch that no longer holds the set position. Stove burner not working after the coil-style element was recently replaced points to a poor connection at the element terminal rather than a failed component: push the element firmly into the receptacle before calling for service.

Range Not Heating Evenly or Losing Temperature

Uneven heat across the cooking surface on a gas range points to one or more burner caps sitting off-center after cleaning, this is the first check before any repair. On electric ranges, uneven cooking surface heat is almost always an infinite switch that’s not holding the set temperature. A range that heats correctly initially but loses temperature during cooking points to a control board fault or a failing thermostat that stops regulating the heat call correctly during the cooking cycle.

Gas Stove Leaking Gas

This is a safety emergency, not a standard repair call. If you smell gas near your stove: turn off the gas supply valve behind the appliance immediately, open windows and doors, don’t operate any electrical switches or appliances, leave the building, and call your gas utility company from outside. Do not attempt to locate the leak yourself. Gas stove leaking gas is almost always a cracked gas supply line, a failed gas valve, or a loose connection at the burner. We handle gas line and valve repair after the utility company has confirmed the supply is safe to work on. Book online once the immediate safety issue is resolved.

Luxury Range and Stove Specialists

Most appliance technicians service Whirlpool and GE. Far fewer carry factory training and OEM parts for Wolf, Thermador, Viking, JennAir, Dacor, and Miele brands with proprietary control systems, dual-fuel configurations, and sealed burner assemblies that generalist technicians rarely encounter. Wilson & Myers technicians are certified, fully insured, and equipped with dedicated OEM parts inventory for high-end range and stove service across Denver Metro Area. We service luxury ranges as a core part of our business, not as an occasional exception.
