Stove & Oven Repair Services Heating and burner issues fixed

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

1. We ask what is happening. Which burner is not working? Is it the oven? Is it a heating problem or an ignition problem?
2. We test the stove systematically. We check which burners and elements work, and we test oven temperature when needed.
3. We inspect components. We look at elements, igniters, burners, controls, sensors, and visible damage.
4. We handle gas units carefully. Any sign of gas odor is treated as a safety concern first.
5. 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.
