Gas burner clicking but not lighting
Constant clicking after cleaning the stovetop is common: moisture gets into the igniter or a cap gets set off-center. If drying and reseating don't help, a spark module or switch may have failed.

Oven, stove and cooktop problems we fix in Bartlett
We repair freestanding and slide-in ranges, wall ovens and cooktops in Bartlett homes, gas and electric. The visit starts with a diagnosis, because a cold oven can be a burned-out element, a weak igniter, a bad sensor or a control board, and each is a different fix.
Gas oven not heating, but the stovetop works
A gas oven that won't light while the cooktop works fine points to the oven igniter, the valve or the control. Our qualified technicians test them in that order.
Burner clicking nonstop
Igniters that keep clicking after the burner lights often have a wet or failing burner switch. We dry, test and replace the switch or spark module.
Electric burner or element not working
A coil burner that won't heat may have a burned element, a loose terminal block or a bad infinite switch behind the knob.
Self-clean door stuck locked
After a self-clean cycle, the door lock should release once the oven cools. If it stays locked, the lock motor, latch switch or control may have failed.
Oven running too hot or burning food
Burned bottoms and dark edges when the settings haven't changed often mean the temperature sensor or the control is at fault.
Uneven baking
When baking comes out lopsided, we look at airflow, heating and the seal, then fix the part that's off.
Broiler not working
Broil problems are often a single part. We confirm it with a meter before ordering.

- Safety and power checkWe confirm power, gas supply and that there's no gas odor before testing anything.

Oven, Stove & Cooktop Repair questions from Bartlett homeowners
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.
Why is my oven not heating?
Check the breaker and, for gas, that the supply valve is open. If it's still cold, the heating part or the control has likely failed.
Who do I call about a gas smell in Bartlett?
Call the gas utility that serves Bartlett, or 911, from outside the house. Their emergency number is on your gas bill.
Can I use the stovetop if the oven is broken?
Many oven faults don't affect the burners. But stop using it if you smell gas or burning or see sparks.
How long does oven or stove repair take?
Elements and igniters are often quick. Control boards and wall ovens that need to come out can take longer.
Do I need a permit for oven and stove repair in Bartlett?
It depends on the scope. Bartlett's rule in short: Building permits are required for all construction and home improvement projects, whether done by homeowner or contractor; Remodel is a listed permit type. We handle the permit when one is needed with Building Division (Planning & Development Services).
