Oven, stove and cooktop problems we fix in Bolingbrook
Cooking appliances fail in fairly predictable ways. In Bolingbrook we see broken bake and broil elements, igniters too weak to open the gas valve, ovens running hot or cold, surface burners that won't light and self-clean locks that stay shut. Gas valve and igniter work is done by qualified technicians.
Electric oven not heating
If the broiler works but bake doesn't, the bake element is the usual suspect. We test it, the sensor and the control before replacing anything.
Oven not reaching the set temperature
If food takes much longer than the recipe says, the temperature sensor may be reading wrong, or an element or igniter may be weakening.
Uneven baking
When baking comes out lopsided, we look at airflow, heating and the seal, then fix the part that's off.
Gas burner clicking but not lighting
A burner that clicks without lighting usually has a wet or dirty igniter, a misaligned burner cap or a clogged port. Cleaning and seating the cap often fixes it.
Gas oven not heating, but the stovetop works
Gas ovens use a hot-surface igniter that weakens with age. If it glows and nothing happens, it's not drawing enough current to open the valve; replacing it is a common fix.
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.
Electric burner or element not working
On a smoothtop, one dead zone usually means a failed radiant element or its switch. We test both and replace the one that's out.

Why won't my stove burner light?
