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.

Oven, stove and cooktop problems we fix in Hanover Park
We repair freestanding and slide-in ranges, wall ovens and cooktops in Hanover Park 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.
Broiler not working
Broil problems are often a single part. We confirm it with a meter before ordering.
Uneven baking
Hot spots usually mean heat isn't being spread or held. We check the convection fan, the elements and the door gasket.
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.
Gas smell near the stove
Gas odor means leave first, call the utility or 911 from outside, and don't use switches or flames. We handle the appliance repair after the area has been cleared.
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.
Display blank or error code
Error codes point to a system, not always a single part. We check the sensor, the wiring and the control the code refers to.
Oven not heating after self-clean
The heat of a self-clean cycle can blow a thermal fuse or damage a control or element. If the oven went dead after cleaning, that's where we look first.

Oven, Stove & Cooktop Repair questions from Hanover Park homeowners
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.
Which brands do you repair?
We repair most major brands found in local kitchens; ask about yours when you call.
Is it worth repairing an oven?
Usually, yes. Elements, igniters, sensors and switches are common and reasonable repairs. A failed control board on an older budget range is where replacement starts to make sense.
Why is my oven not heating?
On electric ovens it's usually a burned-out bake element; on gas ovens a weak igniter. A sensor, a fuse or the control board can also be the cause.
How much does oven repair cost?
It depends on the part, the model and whether it's gas or electric. We charge for the diagnosis and give a written quote for parts and labor before repairing.
Do you work in my part of Hanover Park?
Yes. Our crews work across Hanover Park, including Ontarioville — ZIP 60133 — and nearby Bartlett, Roselle, Bloomingdale.
