Oven, Range & Stove Repair

Wall ovens, double ovens, steam and speed ovens, gas and dual-fuel ranges, and professional rangetops across the Bay Area and Greater Sacramento. OEM parts, factory service procedures, same-day service available.

What We Diagnose

Ovens and ranges cover a wide range of designs, but the failures cluster tightly. These six account for most of what we see.

Oven will not heat

On electric and dual-fuel units the bake element, the relay board that switches it, or an open thermal cut-out. On gas ovens the igniter is the dominant failure — a weak igniter draws enough current to glow but not enough to open the safety valve, so the oven looks like it is trying and never lights.

Temperature is off or uneven

The temperature sensor drifts with age and is inexpensive to replace, but a genuinely uneven oven is more often a convection fan that has slowed, a door that no longer seals, or a unit that was never calibrated after installation. We measure across the cavity rather than trusting the display.

Surface burner will not light or clicks constantly

Clicking with no flame is nearly always a fouled or cracked spark electrode, or moisture under the burner cap after a spill. A burner that lights then dies is the thermocouple or flame sensor failing to confirm ignition.

Induction zone cuts out or shows an error

Induction generators shut down on overtemperature, and the usual cause is a blocked cooling fan intake rather than a failed board. Where a specific zone is dead the fault is typically in the power module for that zone.

Self-clean cycle failed or the door is locked shut

Self-clean runs the cavity far hotter than normal cooking and takes out marginal components — thermal fuses, door lock motors, and control boards most often. A door stuck locked after a cycle is usually the lock motor or its switch, not a jammed latch.

Door will not close, sags, or leaks heat

Hinges on heavy professional doors wear, and once the door sits proud the oven runs long and cooks unevenly. Springs and hinge assemblies are serviceable parts; a warped door on an older unit sometimes is not.

Brands We Service

Factory authorized

In-warranty and out-of-warranty, with manufacturer parts accounts and current service documentation.

  • Miele — H 6000/H 7000 wall ovens, steam and speed ovens
  • Viking — 3, 5, and 7 Series ranges, rangetops, and wall ovens
  • ILVE — Majestic and Nostalgie ranges
  • La Cornue — CornuFé and Château ranges
  • L'Atelier Paris — Haute Design custom ranges and kitchen suites
  • AGA / Rangemaster — Cast-iron and professional ranges
  • Fulgor Milano / Smeg / Forno / Z-Line — Current oven and range lineups

Out of warranty only

We repair these units, but warranty claims go through the manufacturer's own network.

  • Wolf — E, L, and M Series wall ovens; gas and dual-fuel ranges
  • Thermador — Masterpiece and Professional ovens and ranges
  • Gaggenau — Built-in ovens and cooktops
  • Dacor — Wall ovens and ranges
Gas work carries real risk. Burner, valve, and manifold repairs affect combustion, and a unit that is close but not right produces carbon monoxide without any obvious symptom. We leak-test and verify combustion on every gas repair, not only when something looks wrong.

How the Repair Works

Most oven complaints are diagnosed by measurement in the first twenty minutes: element resistance, sensor resistance against its temperature curve, actual cavity temperature versus setpoint, and igniter current draw on gas units. That last one catches the single most common misdiagnosis in the trade — a glowing igniter that everyone assumes is fine and that is in fact below the threshold to open the valve.

Professional ranges add a mechanical dimension. Heavy doors, cast burner assemblies, and rangetop grates all wear in ways a domestic unit does not, and several premium brands have specific service procedures for reassembly that materially affect how the unit performs afterward. Working from current factory documentation rather than experience alone is the difference.

Where a control board is genuinely at fault we say so, but we check the harness and supply first. Boards are the most over-replaced part in the category, and an intermittent connector reads identically to a failing board for a fraction of the price.

Common Questions

Do you repair both the oven and the cooktop on a range?

Yes. A range is one appliance and we service all of it — burners, valves, igniters, oven cavity, convection, and controls. Separate rangetops and wall ovens are covered the same way.

My oven is off by 25 degrees. Does that need a repair?

Not necessarily. Most ovens allow a calibration offset from the control panel and that resolves a modest, consistent error. If the drift is larger, changes with temperature, or the oven cycles unevenly, the sensor or the control is the cause and calibration only hides it.

Is a gas igniter something I can replace myself?

Physically it is straightforward on many models, but it means disconnecting a gas-side component and re-testing for leaks afterward. That last step is the part people skip, and it is the part that matters.

Can you work on a range that is out of warranty?

Yes, across every brand we list, including Wolf, Thermador, Gaggenau, and Dacor where we serve as an out-of-warranty provider. OEM parts either way.

How long do repairs usually take?

Most are completed on the first visit where the part is a common failure item we stock. Model-specific parts are ordered through manufacturer channels and typically arrive within a few business days on authorized brands.
