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.

Oven, stove and cooktop problems we fix in Hoffman Estates
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 Hoffman Estates, 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
Hot spots usually mean heat isn't being spread or held. We check the convection fan, the elements and the door gasket.
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 smell near the stove
A rotten-egg smell is a safety call before it's a repair call. Get everyone out, call the gas company or 911, and call us after they've checked the line.
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.
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.
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
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, Stove & Cooktop Repair questions from Hoffman Estates homeowners
Why won't my stove burner light?
Most burner problems start with a dirty or wet burner. Let it dry, reseat the cap and try again before calling.
What should I do if I smell gas?
Get out first, then call the gas company or 911. Appliance repair comes after the utility checks the leak.
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.
How much does oven repair cost?
A bake element and a control board are priced very differently. You get the number in writing once we know the cause.
Who do I call about a gas smell in Hoffman Estates?
The local gas utility or 911 handle gas leaks, not appliance repair companies. Call them first, then us.
Do I need a permit for oven and stove repair in Hoffman Estates?
It depends on the scope. Hoffman Estates's rule in short: Kitchen remodels go through the Residential Remodel permit: submit plans (1/4 inch scale) of existing and proposed kitchen showing plumbing fixtures, outlets, appliances and panel, plus a scope of work or contract. We handle the permit when one is needed with Development Services Department - Code Enforcement (Building Permits).
