Oven, stove and cooktop problems we fix in Addison
An oven that won't heat or a burner that only clicks usually comes down to one worn part: an igniter, a bake element, a temperature sensor or a switch. Our technicians diagnose gas and electric ranges in Addison, explain what failed and give you a written quote before the repair. If you smell gas, leave the house and call the gas utility or 911 first.
Uneven baking
Cookies burned on one side and pale on the other can come from a convection fan that stopped, a weak element or a door that doesn't seal.
Electric oven not heating
A cold electric oven most often has a burned-out bake element. You may see a break or a blister on it. Other causes are a bad sensor, a relay on the control board or a tripped breaker.
Oven running too hot or burning food
A sensor that has drifted or a stuck relay on the control board can make the oven run well above the setting. We test and replace the faulty part.
Oven not reaching the set temperature
Slow preheat and pale baking point to the heating part or the sensor that controls it. We check with a thermometer and a meter.
Display blank or error code
If the clock is dead or the oven shows a code and won't heat, we check power, then the parts the code points to.
Gas oven not heating, but the stovetop works
When the burners light but the oven stays cold, the oven igniter is usually too weak to open the gas valve. It may glow but never light the burner.
Gas smell near the stove
If you smell gas, don't turn anything on or off. Leave the house and call the gas utility or 911 from outside. Once the utility has made it safe, we diagnose and repair the range.

Oven, Stove & Cooktop Repair questions from Addison homeowners
Do you repair gas appliances?
Yes. Gas valve, igniter and burner work is done by qualified technicians, and every gas connection we touch is checked for leaks.
Why won't my stove burner light?
A clogged port, a misplaced cap or a wet igniter stops a burner from lighting. If those check out, we look at the igniter and spark module.
How long does oven or stove repair take?
Many repairs are done on the first visit when the part is on hand. Special-order parts mean a return visit.
Who do I call about a gas smell in Addison?
Your gas company's emergency line or 911, from outside. Keep the number from your bill somewhere handy.
Why does my gas oven igniter glow but the oven won't light?
A glowing igniter isn't always a working one. The valve needs a certain current to open, and a worn igniter falls short.
Do I need a permit for oven and stove repair in Addison?
It depends on the scope. Addison's rule in short: Addison's Building Division states building permits are required by code for all work; most applications are reviewed within 10 business days through the online portal. We handle the permit when one is needed with Community Development Department (Building & Zoning).
Do you work in my part of Addison?
Yes. Our crews work across Addison — ZIP 60101 — and nearby Wood Dale, Itasca, Villa Park.
