Problems we diagnose
Common stove or oven symptoms
A visible symptom identifies the place to begin. Model-specific testing determines whether the cause is a component, installation condition or utility connection.
Oven will not heat
Bake elements, igniters, gas valves, sensors, controls and power supply are tested according to the fuel type.
Temperature is inaccurate
Sensor readings, calibration, airflow and heating cycles determine whether the fault is control or component related.
Gas burner will not ignite
Caps, ports, electrodes, switches, wiring and gas delivery all influence ignition.
Electric element stays cold
Elements, receptacles, infinite switches, wiring and incoming voltage are checked under safe conditions.
Control displays an error
Codes can point toward sensors, latches, controls or communication, but testing confirms the failed part.
Door will not close correctly
Hinges, springs, latches and door alignment affect both safety and temperature performance.
Diagnosis before parts
A repair recommendation based on testing
We review the reported symptom, inspect the appliance and test the systems related to the failure. The result and estimate are explained before a repair is approved.
- bake and broil elements
- igniters and gas valves
- surface elements and switches
- temperature sensors
- door hinges and latches
- electronic controls and wiring
Safety note: Leave the appliance off if you smell unburned gas. Ventilate the area, avoid flames or switches and contact the gas utility or emergency service when appropriate.

Detailed service guide
There is something uniquely disappointing about planning to cook dinner and discovering your stove will not heat. Maybe family is coming over, maybe you promised the kids their favorite meal, or maybe you are hosting a dinner party. Then the oven does nothing, the burners will not light, or they light but barely produce heat.
A broken stove affects your entire weekly routine. Alex Appliance Repair gets calls about stoves and ovens constantly, and most problems are repairable. You usually do not need a new stove. You need someone who understands what is actually broken and can fix it safely.
Electric vs Gas: Different Problems, Different Solutions
Electric and gas stoves fail in different ways, so they need different diagnostic steps.
- Electric stove issues. Electric stoves use heating elements that eventually wear out. If one burner is not heating, the element may need replacement. If the oven will not heat or cannot hold temperature, the issue may be the bake element, thermostat, temperature sensor, or control board.
- Gas stove issues. Gas stoves can have failed igniters, blocked burner ports, weak flame, thermostat problems, or gas valve issues. If you smell gas, do not keep troubleshooting. That is a safety issue and should be handled right away.
The Heating Element That Just Quit
This is one of the most common electric stove repairs. A burner element reaches the end of its life and stops producing heat effectively. You turn it on and get nothing, or you get minimal heat. The element can usually be replaced without a major repair bill.
The Oven That Heats But Cooks Unevenly
Some ovens heat but do not maintain a consistent temperature. You set it to 350, but it swings too low or too high. Usually this points to a bad thermostat, sensor issue, or a heating element that is starting to fail. Once the temperature control is corrected, baking and roasting become predictable again.
The Igniter That Won't Spark
On gas stoves, the igniter creates the spark that lights the gas. When it fails, gas may flow without ignition, or burners may not light at all. Modern ceramic igniters can often be replaced. If nothing is igniting, stop trying repeatedly and call for service so gas does not build up in the kitchen.
Gas Valve Issues
Gas valve problems involve the actual fuel supply to the stove. If the valve does not open properly, gas does not flow and burners will not light. This is not a DIY repair. Gas valves need professional handling and careful safety checks.
What Happens When You Call Us
- We ask what is happening. Which burner is not working? Is it the oven? Is it a heating problem or an ignition problem?
- We test the stove systematically. We check which burners and elements work, and we test oven temperature when needed.
- We inspect components. We look at elements, igniters, burners, controls, sensors, and visible damage.
- We handle gas units carefully. Any sign of gas odor is treated as a safety concern first.
- We explain the repair. You get the problem, the cost, and the practical repair option before work begins.
The Repair vs Replace Question
An electric stove that is 8 years old and needs a new heating element is usually worth fixing. A gas stove that is 15 years old and has multiple failing components may be worth replacing. Most stove repairs are straightforward enough that replacement does not make sense unless the appliance is quite old or has several major issues.
Stove Brands We Service
We service GE, Whirlpool, Maytag, LG, Samsung, Electrolux, Frigidaire, Bosch, Viking, Wolf, KitchenAid, and other stove and oven brands. Standard home ranges and higher-end models use the same basic logic, even when the components differ.
Real Situations From Our Experience
We have fixed ovens that heated unevenly because the thermostat failed, gas burners that would not light because an igniter went bad, and electric burners that heated inconsistently because the element was failing. We have also handled gas odor calls where a loose fitting needed immediate attention.
Safety Matters
If you smell gas, do not try to troubleshoot. If you see visible damage to an element, stop using it. If gas burners will not light after a few attempts, stop trying and call for help. Your stove should be safe before it is convenient.

Frequently asked questions
Stove & Oven Repair questions
Why does my gas oven click but not light?
The igniter may spark without proper gas ignition. Burner condition, electrode position, gas flow and controls need inspection.
Can an oven temperature be calibrated?
Some temperature differences can be calibrated, but a failing sensor, element or control should be repaired first.
Do you repair gas and electric ranges?
Yes. The diagnostic procedure is matched to the appliance fuel type and model.
Should I keep using one working burner?
Stop use if there is arcing, gas odor, overheating or damaged wiring. A single failed burner can sometimes be isolated, but safety comes first.
