Oven, stove and cooktop problems we fix in Mount Prospect
Cooking appliances fail in fairly predictable ways. In Mount Prospect 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 burner or element not working
When one burner stays cold while the others work, the fault is in that burner's element, switch or wiring. We trace it.
Burner clicking nonstop
Endless clicking usually traces to the switch behind a knob, often after a spill. A replacement switch stops it.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.

Oven, Stove & Cooktop Repair questions from Mount Prospect homeowners
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.
What should I do if I smell gas?
Leave the house right away, don't use switches, phones or flames inside, and call the gas utility or 911 from outside. Call us for the repair once it's been made safe.
Why won't my stove burner light?
Usually the cap is off-center, the burner ports are clogged or the igniter is wet. If it clicks but won't catch after drying and cleaning, the igniter or spark module needs replacing.
How much does oven repair cost?
The part, labor time and access set the price. We put it in writing before work starts.
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.
Can you do oven and stove repair in a Mount Prospect condo?
Associations usually set rules for work hours, elevators, deliveries and insurance, and many require approval for plumbing, electrical or structural changes. We provide the certificate of insurance and follow the building's rules.

It depends on the scope. Mount Prospect's rule in short: Kitchen remodels need a permit and a code review (about 10 business days). We handle the permit when one is needed with Community Development Department - Building & Inspection Services.
