Start with the burner that misbehaves. Does it click without lighting? Burn orange instead of blue? Stay stuck on high? Or refuse to heat while the others work fine? Gas and electric cooktops fail in patterns, and the pattern narrows the cause quickly. We diagnose, then fix igniters, switches, and elements. Mountain Brook kitchens: tell us which burner, or fill out the quote form.

We measure current draw while the igniter glows. A weak igniter glows but never pulls enough amps to open the valve, so no gas arrives. That reading separates the two parts instead of guessing and replacing both.
Usually, yes. Many ranges allow a calibration offset through the control panel. If the drift is larger or wanders, we test the oven sensor's resistance cold and hot, since a drifting sensor feeds bad numbers to the board.
All three. Gas work involves igniters, valves, and burner assemblies. Electric means elements and infinite switches. Induction leans on coils, inverter boards, and cooling fans. We diagnose each one differently, since the failure families barely overlap.
Depends on the symptom. A dead electric coil is inconvenient, not dangerous. Clicking igniters, a gas smell, or a burner that lights late means unburned gas is collecting. Shut it off and call us instead of working around it.
Yes. Many homes here have stacked or closet units. We pull, service, and reset them carefully, and we check the vent run while we are back there.
Tell us what you hear, smell, or see. Grinding? Puddle? Blinking code? Small details narrow the list of likely causes before we ever pull the machine away from the wall.
A technician runs through a checklist: power, controls, sensors, motors, seals, drainage. We test instead of guessing, then walk you through the actual fault and your repair options.
Some faults are worth fixing today. Others mean the appliance is near the end. We tell you which is which, then complete the repair once you say go.
Ask these of anyone you let into your home β us included. Call and we'll answer all five before you book anything.
Describe the fault, approve the written quote, get it fixed. Starting takes about a minute.
