A burner that won't light or an oven that won't hold temperature makes cooking a guessing game. We repair gas and electric ovens, ranges, and cooktops across the Alexandria area.

Common problems we fix

  • Gas burner won't ignite or keeps clicking — A worn or cracked igniter, a clogged burner port, or a wet igniter module from a boilover are the usual causes. Clicking that never produces a flame means the igniter is not getting hot enough to light the gas.
  • Oven temperature runs hot or cold — A failed oven temperature sensor or a miscalibrated thermostat causes uneven baking results. We test the sensor against spec and replace it if it is reading outside its normal range.
  • Electric bake or broil element not heating — A burned-out heating element is usually visible as a crack or blister on the coil. It is a direct replacement, but the right element has to match the unit's wattage and mounting configuration.
  • Oven won't turn on at all — On electric ranges, a tripped breaker or a failed control board is the typical starting point. Gas ovens that won't ignite at all may have a failed oven igniter rather than a surface burner issue.

Gas vs. Electric: What Changes in the Repair

Gas and electric ovens share some failure points, like temperature sensors and control boards, but the repair work differs after that. Gas units involve the igniter assembly, gas valve, and burner ports. Electric units center on heating elements, bake and broil circuits, and wiring connections. Knowing which type you have before you call helps us come prepared with the right parts.

  • Gas: igniter, gas valve, burner orifice, igniter module
  • Electric: bake element, broil element, surface coils or radiant elements
  • Both: temperature sensor, thermostat, control board, door gasket

Power Surges and Oven Control Boards in CenLa

Hurricane season runs June through November, and Central Louisiana regularly sees power fluctuations from storms that make landfall well south of us. Surges and outages are a leading cause of oven control board failures across the region. If your oven stopped working after a storm or a power blink, the control board is the first place to look. A surge protector on the range circuit can reduce the risk going forward.

Signs Your Oven Needs Service Soon

Some problems announce themselves clearly. Others build slowly until the unit stops working at the worst possible time. Watch for these warning signs.

  • Burner igniter clicking continuously without lighting
  • Visible crack, blister, or burn mark on a heating element
  • Oven light works but no heat builds after preheating
  • Error codes on the display panel
  • Burning smell not related to food spills

Cooktops: What Makes Them Different to Repair

Standalone cooktops, whether gas, electric coil, or smooth-top glass, have their own repair considerations. Glass smooth-top surfaces can crack from thermal stress or impact and are not repairable, only replaceable. Coil cooktops often just need a new burner receptacle or coil element. Gas cooktops frequently have igniter issues tied to grease buildup in the burner ports after heavy cooking use.

My oven is heating unevenly. Is that the thermostat or something else?
Uneven heating is usually the temperature sensor rather than the thermostat itself. The sensor is a small probe inside the oven cavity. If it reads incorrectly, the oven cycles heat at the wrong times. It is one of the more straightforward repairs on most units.
Is it safe to keep using my gas range if one burner won't ignite?
If the burner will not ignite at all, do not try to light it manually while gas is flowing. A burner that clicks without igniting can release unburned gas. Have it repaired before using that burner again.
My smooth-top stove has a crack in the glass. Can that be fixed?
Cracked glass cooktop surfaces are replaced, not repaired. A crack compromises the structural integrity of the surface and can worsen with heat. The glass panel is a direct replacement part available for most major brands.
Do you work on older ranges that are no longer in production?
In most cases, yes. Parts availability is the main variable on discontinued models. We can assess whether parts are still obtainable once we identify the make, model, and failed component.
Why does my oven take much longer to preheat than it used to?
A slow preheat on an electric oven usually means the bake element is partially failing, drawing less wattage than it should. On a gas oven, a weak igniter that is slow to reach ignition temperature produces the same symptom.
