The range is the appliance a serious kitchen leans on hardest, and a professional-grade unit from Wolf, Viking, Thermador, or La Cornue is built to take years of daily cooking. When one of those ranges starts misbehaving, the fault is rarely where a homeowner would guess, which is exactly why a proper diagnosis matters. We repair the cooktop side, the oven side, and the controls that tie them together.
What We Fix
Our range work covers the whole appliance, not just the obvious burner problem you called about:
- Surface burners that click without lighting or will not stay lit
- Spark modules, igniters, and burner switches
- Simmer plates, burner caps, and sealed-burner assemblies
- Oven bake and broil elements on electric and dual-fuel ranges
- Gas oven igniters, safety valves, and flame sensors
- Convection fan motors and heating problems
- Temperature sensors, thermostats, and oven calibration
- Control boards, display faults, and error codes
- Door hinges, springs, and gaskets that leak heat
Common Problems We See
At altitude, ranges are tuned differently than they would be at sea level, and combustion behaves accordingly. The complaints we hear most in the valley are a single burner that clicks endlessly, an oven that runs hot or cold, and a convection fan that has started to grind. A range that trips a fault code and shuts down is another frequent call, and one that usually points to a sensor or control-board issue rather than the burners themselves.
Typical Causes
Endless clicking almost always comes down to a fouled or moisture-soaked igniter, a burner cap seated slightly off, or a spark module beginning to fail. Uneven baking usually traces to a bake or broil element losing continuity, a temperature sensor drifting out of range, or an oven that has fallen out of calibration. A dead oven can mean an open safety valve on a gas model or a failed element on an electric one. We measure element resistance and sensor readings rather than guessing, so the part we replace is the part that actually failed.
Brands We Service
We repair ranges from Wolf, Viking, Thermador, La Cornue, Dacor, Monogram, Jenn-Air, and KitchenAid. Whatever the make, we source genuine OEM parts for your exact model.
Range Error and Fault Reference
| Symptom | Likely Cause | What We Do |
|---|---|---|
| Burner clicks, no flame | Fouled igniter, off-seated cap, weak spark module | Clean and test ignition, replace module or igniter |
| Oven bakes unevenly | Failing element or drifting sensor | Test resistance, replace part, recalibrate |
| Oven will not heat | Open safety valve or failed element | Test gas valve and igniter or element |
| Convection fan noisy | Worn fan motor bearing | Replace convection motor with Genuine OEM Parts |
| Display fault, unit shuts off | Control board or sensor error | Read the code, test the circuit, replace as needed |
