We’re Licensed For Gas. That Matters Here.
Roughly 70% of the cooking appliances in Valley homes run on gas — gas ranges, gas cooktops, dual-fuel ranges with gas burners and electric ovens. Working on gas legally and safely requires a licensed technician with the right diagnostic equipment (combustion analyzer, manometer for line pressure, leak detector). We have all of it. Plenty of “appliance handyman” outfits don’t, and they’ll either turn down the job or do it sloppy and leave you a slow leak. Don’t risk it.
For electric and induction, the issue isn’t safety — it’s specialized parts knowledge. A failed induction generator is not “the cooktop is dead.” It’s one of three modules, and you can replace just the bad one if you know what you’re looking at.

Common Repairs
Oven Won’t Heat (Gas)
Ignitor — every time, this is the first suspect. Gas ovens get one good ignitor every 8-10 years, then it dies. We carry the ignitors for the major manufacturers. About $220-$320 installed.
If it’s not the ignitor: gas safety valve, oven thermostat, or wiring. Diagnostic order matters because you don’t want to pay for the wrong part first.
Oven Won’t Heat (Electric)
Bake or broil element burned out (most common, easy to spot — usually visible damage). Or the temperature sensor probe, or the control board. We diagnose by component test, not by guess.
Bakes Unevenly / Wrong Temperature
Calibration drift or thermostat failure. We measure with a calibrated probe. If it’s calibration, we’ll show you how to adjust it on most modern ovens (free). If it’s the thermostat or sensor, we replace it.
Convection Fan Not Spinning
Fan motor or relay. Standard repair, parts on the truck.
Self-Clean Cycle Damaged The Oven
This is more common than you’d think — high-temp self-clean cycles can pop the thermal fuse, fry the control board, or warp the door. We see this at least monthly. Repairable, usually.
Burners Won’t Light (Gas)
Spark module, ignitor electrodes, or — on pro ranges — the gas valve itself. Often a cleaning issue: spilled food clogging the burner ports. We disassemble, clean, and reassemble where that’s the cause.
Burner Won’t Stay Lit
Flame sensor / thermocouple, or low gas pressure to the unit. We’ll measure your line pressure to see if the issue is the appliance or the gas service.
Cooktop Surface Cracked (Glass/Ceramic)
Replacement cooktop glass, properly installed. We do this carefully — wrong installation snaps the new one too.
Induction Cooktop Dead On One Side
Almost always one of the induction generator modules. Modern induction cooktops have 2 or 3 generator boards, each driving 1-2 elements. We diagnose which board failed and replace just that one — instead of “you need a new cooktop” like the dealer might tell you.
Touch Controls Unresponsive
User interface board or touch sensor module. Common on Bosch, Miele, Wolf. Replaceable.
Door Won’t Latch (Self-Clean Or Slow-Bake)
Door latch motor, hinge springs, or hinge assemblies. Standard repair.
Why Pro Ranges Are A Specialty
Wolf, Thermador Pro Grand, Viking, BlueStar — these ranges are simpler than mainstream ranges in some ways (more mechanical, less electronic) but harder to work on because the parts are heavier, the gas circuits are higher BTU, and a failed part on a $12,000 range is a much bigger deal than on a $1,200 range. Our techs have factory training on the four major pro range platforms. We know what fails on each, what to stock, and how to diagnose without three return visits.
Thermador Star Burner Specialty
If you have a Thermador Star Burner cooktop or range, you know the burners are unique — and a pain for non-specialists. We’ve got the burner caps, ignitor electrodes, and venturi tubes on hand. We also know the trick for cleaning them properly without damaging the porcelain coating.
What It Costs
- Bake element (electric): $180–$260 typical
- Igniter (gas oven): $220–$320
- Spark module / electrode (gas range): $200–$340
- Convection fan motor: $260–$380
- Control board: $320–$580 depending on brand
- Induction generator board: $480–$780
- Diagnostic-only: $89 (waived with repair)
Pro ranges run higher across the board because the parts cost more — a Wolf bake element is $300+ at OEM, and there’s no aftermarket version we’d trust.
Safety First, Honesty Second, Speed Third
For any gas cooking appliance, if there’s any doubt about safety — gas smell, soft yellow flame, unburned fuel smell — we’ll tell you to shut off the gas valve and we’ll be there same-day. For non-emergency calls, we book the next available window and stick to it.
