Burners that light, and an oven that heats
A range is two appliances in one: a cooktop on top and an oven below. That is why one call can involve igniters, burners, switches, elements, and controls. Our stove and range repair team tests each part so we fix the true fault.
We repair freestanding ranges and slide-in ranges, both gas and electric. For built-in wall ovens or a stand-alone cooktop, see our oven and cooktop pages. We also check the anti-tip bracket, because a range should never tip when a door is open.
Signs your stove or range needs repair
Do not ignore these warning signs.
Burner will not light
The igniter, spark module, or dirty burner ports may be at fault.
Burner clicks nonstop
Moisture, food buildup, or a misplaced cap can keep the igniter clicking.
Burner will not turn off or heat
A worn switch or a failed receptacle may be the cause.
Oven side will not heat
The bake element, igniter, sensor, or control may have failed.
Uneven flame or yellow flame
Dirty ports or a gas flow problem needs a technician.
Range is loose or tips
The anti-tip bracket may be missing or the range unlevel.
Stove and range types we repair

Repair or replace your stove or range?
Ranges are built to last, and most faults are small parts. Use the 50% rule: if the repair costs more than half the price of a comparable new range, replacing may be smarter. Igniters, switches, and elements are good repairs. A cracked glass top or body damage can tilt the choice toward a new range.
Igniter, switch, or element
Low-cost parts that often extend a range for years.
Control board on a pro-style range
Often worth repairing since the range is costly to replace.
Cracked glass top
Can be costly to fix. We compare the price with a new range.
Stove and range repair for Palo Alto homes
Many Palo Alto homes have pro-style ranges from Wolf, Viking, and Thermador, next to older gas ranges in historic homes. As more homes go electric, we also see new induction and electric ranges. We repair them all, and we make gas safety checks part of every gas range visit.
Pro-style ranges
Heavy, high-end ranges need careful moving and skilled parts work.

We help both gas and electric ranges while homes change.
Fast local visits
We serve all Palo Alto neighborhoods and nearby cities.
Easy tips to keep your range working well
A few habits protect burners and igniters.
- Wipe boil-overs right away. Sugary spills clog gas ports.
- Dry burner caps and seat them fully after cleaning.
- Do not use foil on burner trays or oven floors.
- Make sure the anti-tip bracket is secure.
- Keep a working carbon monoxide alarm near the kitchen.
