You need to learn about the basic stove repairs so you can fix your cooking range without going through the trouble of finding a technician.
But if you feel like the problem is out of your hands, don’t hesitate to get professional help from All Appliances and Refrigerators.
Gas Burner Refuses to Light Up
What’s the use of a stove that doesn’t light up? If your gas burner is unable to catch fire, there could be a couple of reasons behind it. The problem could be with the ignition mechanism or the gas flow. Try the following stove repair method to fix this issue.
How to identify the cause of the problem
Normally, when you have to turn on the burner, you turn up the gas and hold the ignition. The gas starts coming out and is ignited by the ignition mechanism which turns on your burner.
To ascertain which one of the two possible causes is creating the issue, simply turn on the burner and press the ignition switch.
If you hear the clicking sound of the ignition but you don’t smell the gas coming out, there is some problem with the gas flow. On the other hand, if you don’t hear the clicking sound, then the problem is with the ignition. Basic issues with the ignition can be mended easily.
If the issue is with the gas flow, then you should not tinker with anything yourself. Immediately call us here at All Appliances and Refrigerator and get the help of a professional.
Open up the range and reconnect the wires
If the problem is with the ignition, you can try reconnecting the wires yourself. Take off the grill/grate and remove the caps from the burners. Clean away any grime and dust that you see and reconnect the wires if they have come loose.
If this does not work, you may need to get a whole new ignition installed. To do that, give us a call and our technician will help you through the process.
Oven Not Heating Up
Another issue that you can face in your cooking range is the oven not heating up. The most probable cause for your oven not heating up is a faulty pilot or a faulty ignition. To solve this problem, you can try the following stove repairs.
Make sure that your oven is plugged in and the power outlet is functional
Oftentimes, the cause behind a seemingly big issue is very insignificant. Before you make preparations for an all-out dissection on the inside of your oven, take a quick glance and see if the oven is plugged in and the power outlet is active.
Check and Fix the Pilot
If the pilot has gone out in your oven, you will need to re-ignite it. First, clean the pilot and then set it alight. This should fix your problem if the issue is with the pilot.
