Stove and cooktop repair in San Diego

Surface cooking faults are almost always one of four things: no gas at the burner, no spark at the igniter, a failed element, or a control that is not switching. Each one has a different fix, and the diagnosis decides which.

How we diagnose and repair it

  1. Test gas supply and the burner orifice path on gas units, or element continuity on electric units.
  2. Inspect igniter, spark module and wiring for cracks, carbon tracking or a broken lead.
  3. Check the burner head, cap and grate seating, which are common causes of uneven ignition.
  4. Verify the switch or infinite switch behind the knob, and the harness to the element.
  5. Confirm every burner lights and holds on a full test after the repair.

A stove or cooktop diagnostic is $95 and is credited toward the repair when you approve it. Gas work is done by an EPA Section 608 Type 1 certified technician, and we quote before we start.

Where we do this work

Based in Lemon Grove, our core service area runs about twelve miles out — a tight ring on purpose, because it is what lets us hold a same-day window and arrive when we say we will. Larger jobs further out are welcome: call and we will tell you honestly whether the trip makes sense.

Questions we get about this repair

Should I smell gas before you arrive?

If you smell gas, stop using the appliance, ventilate the room, and do not relight anything until the supply is shut off. Then call us. A persistent smell is a safety call, not a convenience appointment.

Why does a burner click when it is already lit?

Usually the igniter is still sparking because the flame is not being sensed properly, or moisture has reached the igniter. Cleaning and reseating the burner head fixes many of these, and a cracked igniter or failing spark module explains the rest.

Can an electric element be replaced on its own?

Yes, when the element has failed and the switch is sound. We test both, because replacing an element that is fine wastes your money, and replacing a switch when the element is open wastes another visit.

Do you repair the oven as well as the cooktop?

Yes. Oven heating faults are covered on our oven and range page, and we routinely handle both in one visit when you have more than one complaint.
