Professional Oven and Range Repair in Mount Prospect

Keep Your Kitchen Functional with Expert Oven Repair

A working oven is fundamental to home cooking. When your oven breaks down, meal preparation becomes difficult or impossible. You can't bake, roast, or broil. Holiday cooking becomes a source of stress. Even simple weeknight dinners that rely on the oven suddenly require alternative cooking methods or takeout.

We understand the urgency of oven repairs and work to schedule service quickly. Our technicians are experienced with all types of cooking appliances—freestanding ranges, slide-in ranges, wall ovens, and separate cooktops. We service both gas and electric models, including modern induction cooktops.

When you contact us about oven problems, we'll ask specific questions about what's happening. Is the oven not heating at all? Is it heating but not reaching the correct temperature? Do the burners work but the oven doesn't? This information helps our technicians prepare appropriately and bring the right parts for your specific situation.

Common signs your oven needs professional repair include:

• Oven won't heat or doesn't reach set temperature
• Food cooks unevenly or takes longer than usual
• Burners won't ignite or produce weak flames (gas)
• Heating elements don't glow or get hot (electric)
• Self-cleaning cycle won't complete or locks door permanently
• Control panel displays errors or won't respond
• Oven overheats or runs continuously
• Strange odors or smoke during operation

Gas Range and Oven Repair

Gas ranges and ovens provide instant heat control and are preferred by many cooks for their responsiveness. However, they have specific components that can fail and require specialized knowledge to repair safely. Our technicians are experienced with gas appliance service.

The most common gas oven problem is failure to heat. When a gas oven won't heat, the igniter is usually the culprit. The igniter glows to heat a sensor that opens the gas valve. Over time, igniters weaken and can no longer generate enough heat to open the valve. Igniter replacement is one of the most frequent gas oven repairs we perform.

Gas valves control gas flow to the oven burner and stovetop burners. When a valve fails, gas won't flow even if the igniter works properly. Valves can also stick partially open or closed, causing improper flame height or preventing ignition. We can test gas valves and replace them when necessary.

Burner problems on gas cooktops include burners that won't ignite, produce clicking sounds without lighting, or burn with uneven or yellow flames. These issues often stem from dirty burner ports, failed spark modules, or misaligned burner caps. Cleaning and adjustment can resolve many burner problems without parts replacement.

Safety is paramount with gas appliance repairs. We check for gas leaks using proper detection equipment, verify proper combustion (blue flames), and ensure adequate ventilation. If we identify any safety concerns during service, we address them before completing the repair.

Gas pressure regulators ensure proper gas flow to the appliance. If your range was converted from natural gas to propane (or vice versa), incorrect orifices or regulator settings can cause poor performance. We can verify these are properly configured for your gas type.

Cooktop and Stovetop Repair

Separate cooktops—whether gas, electric coil, smooth-top, or induction—have their own specific repair needs. These appliances are built into countertops and require different service approaches than freestanding ranges. We're experienced with all cooktop types and configurations.

Gas cooktops have sealed burners that are less likely to get clogged with spills than traditional open burners, but they can still develop problems. Spark igniters can fail, causing burners to require manual lighting with a match. Burner valves can stick or wear out, affecting flame control. We service all gas cooktop brands including Bosch, GE, and Thermador.

Electric coil cooktops are the simplest type electrically. Individual burners plug into receptacles, making element replacement easy. However, receptacle contacts can burn out or corrode over time, preventing proper heating. We replace both elements and receptacles as needed.

Smooth-top electric cooktops use radiant elements beneath a glass ceramic surface. When an element fails, the entire cooktop often needs to be lifted to access components from below. Cracked cooktop glass is another common issue—while we can't typically repair cracks, we can replace the entire cooktop assembly if needed.

Induction cooktops are the most technologically advanced cooking surface. They use electromagnetic fields to heat cookware directly rather than heating a burner. When induction cooktops fail, the problem is usually with the power module, control board, or induction coil. These repairs require specialized knowledge and proper parts, which we have available.

Control panel problems affect all cooktop types. Touch controls can become unresponsive, displays can fail, or the cooktop may show error codes. We can diagnose electronic control issues and replace control boards when necessary.
