A burner that won't light or an element stuck on high can't wait for a convenient time. Tell us what it's doing, no spark, uneven flame, one element always hot, and we'll get someone out today where the schedule allows.
Quick check
Burner clicks but won't light?
Usually a dirty or misaligned igniter.
Flame burning uneven or too low?
Often a clogged burner port, not the valve.
Electric element stuck on full heat?
Usually a stuck infinite switch.
Open a symptom to see what usually causes it and how we track it down. If yours doesn't match, call anyway, most calls are one of these.
Equipment we cover
Common causes
How we fix it
We check the igniter and its position first, since a spark that's aimed slightly off the burner is the most common reason it clicks endlessly without lighting. If the igniter looks fine we check the orifice for blockage and test the ignition module. On electric and induction models we test the element or coil and the control board instead, since the failure points are different.
Common causes
How we fix it
On gas models we pull the burner cap and clean out the ports first, since buildup there is behind most uneven flames and it's something that creeps up gradually without anyone noticing. If the ports are clear we check the regulator and valve. On electric and induction models we test the element or coil directly, since an uneven surface temperature there usually means it needs replacing rather than adjusting.
Common causes
How we fix it
A burner or element that won't come down from full heat almost always points to the switch or relay controlling it rather than the heating element itself. We isolate which burner is affected and test its switch and wiring before assuming the control board is at fault, since replacing the whole board is a bigger job than most of these calls turn out to need.
Common causes
How we fix it
If you smell gas, turn off the burner and the shutoff valve if you can reach it safely, open a window, and call us rather than trying to diagnose it yourself. On arrival we check the seating of the burner assembly and the connections at the valve before doing anything else. Any valve or line work is done to code, and we'll always tell you plainly if a fitting needs a licensed gas technician rather than an appliance repair.
Parts for these makes travel on the van, which is why most visits end in a finished repair rather than a second appointment.
Real jobs, real stoves, from gas ranges to induction cooktops, across Niagara-on-the-Lake.
Gas burner kept clicking without lighting. Igniter was just slightly out of position, five minute fix.
One electric element was stuck on full heat no matter the setting. Switch replaced, works properly now.
Induction cooktop had one zone heating unevenly. Wasn't something I expected anyone locally to know how to fix.
Flame was weak and orange instead of blue. Clogged burner ports, cleaned out and back to normal.
Smelled gas near the stove and panicked a bit. He came quickly and found a burner that wasn't seated right.
Dual-fuel range, gas cooktop with electric oven. Diagnosed the igniter issue over the phone before even arriving.
Good honest pricing on a control board repair. Four stars only because parts took a couple of days to arrive.
Booked in the evening not expecting a call until the weekend. Fixed the stove the very next morning.
Old electric coil stove, most people would've pushed us toward a new one. He just fixed the switch instead.
Burner grates looked fine but the flame was still uneven. Turned out to be the orifice, not visible from outside.
Called about a gas smell, he was very clear about what he checked and confirmed it was safe before leaving.
Induction element wouldn't respond to the control panel at all. Board issue, replaced and tested thoroughly.
