We are Range Repair experts in Walnut Creek
A stove is two appliances in one cabinet, and the half that fails tells us where to look. Surface problems are nearly always igniters, switches or a burner that needs cleaning rather than replacing. We try the cheap fix first and say so.
Burners that will not light, elements that stay cold, or controls that stopped responding. We repair gas and electric stoves from all major brands.
Why you need Range Repair
If you notice any of these, it is time to call:
- Burner clicks but will not light
- A dirty or cracked igniter, or moisture in the burner cap after a spill. Cleaning solves this more often than replacing, and we try that first.
- Burner lights then goes out when you let go
- The thermocouple or flame sensor is not confirming a flame, so the safety valve closes again. The system is working correctly and telling you a part has worn out.
- One electric element dead, the rest fine
- The element itself, the infinite switch, or the receptacle it plugs into. Burnt receptacles are common and are why a new element sometimes fails again within weeks.
- Every burner clicking, even when off
- A spark module firing because spillage has bridged an electrode. A nuisance rather than a hazard, and cleaning usually ends it.
- Display dark or buttons unresponsive
- The control board or its power supply. Worth diagnosing carefully on a high-end range where the board is a significant part.
- Gas smell around the appliance
- Stop. Leave the property and call your gas utility first. That is not a repair call, and we will say the same thing on the phone.

Before you book anything, it is worth knowing what a range should look like when it is done properly, because the difference between a good one and a bad one is not visible until the invoice arrives.
What you should expect from the visit
A window, not a day. Somebody who tests the machine rather than asking you to describe it again. An explanation you could repeat to your partner accurately. One figure that covers the part and the work together, given before anything is opened, and no second figure afterwards.
If any of that is missing, you are entitled to say so. It is your kitchen and your money, and the pressure to agree quickly while somebody stands there with a toolbag is the single reason this trade has the reputation it has.
Why the brand matters to your bill
Samsung, LG, Frigidaire, Whirlpool, KitchenAid and the rest. This is not brand loyalty talking. A Samsung and a KitchenAid can behave identically for completely different reasons, and a technician who does not know which one he is standing in front of will find the answer by replacing things until it works. You pay for each attempt.
When you should not call us
Past half the price of a comparable new machine, on a unit already beyond two thirds of the life it was built for, buy the new one. We will tell you that on the phone where we can, and in your kitchen where we cannot, and we will not charge you for the second conversation. Under that line, or on anything built into cabinetry, repairing is the better decision by a wide margin.
Wherever you are in the valley
Range Repair costs the same in Orinda as it does in Pleasant Hill. So does the warranty and so does the way an appointment gets booked. You can read the starting figure for your particular problem on the pricing page before you speak to anybody at all.
