Oven, stove and cooktop problems we fix in Palatine
Cooking appliances fail in fairly predictable ways. In Palatine 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.
Broiler not working
A broiler that won't heat usually has a failed broil element on electric ovens, or a weak igniter on gas models.
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.
Gas burner clicking but not lighting
If a burner sparks but won't catch, check that the cap is flat and dry. If it still won't light, the igniter or spark module needs a technician.
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 not reaching the set temperature
An oven that never gets up to temperature, or takes forever to preheat, usually has a failing heat source or a sensor out of range. We test both.
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.
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.

Oven, Stove & Cooktop Repair questions from Palatine homeowners
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.
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.
Who do I call about a gas smell in Palatine?
Your gas company's emergency line or 911, from outside. Keep the number from your bill somewhere handy.
Which brands do you repair?
Most household brands. The model number tells us which parts to bring.
Why does my gas oven igniter glow but the oven won't light?
That's the classic sign of a weak oven igniter. Our qualified technicians replace it and check the valve.
Do Palatine condo associations need to approve oven and stove repair?
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.
Do I need a permit for oven and stove repair in Palatine?
It depends on the scope. Palatine's rule in short: A permit is required to remodel a kitchen or to add/alter the electrical system. We handle the permit when one is needed with Community Development Department - Building Permits & Inspections.
