Stove & Range Repair Near You
Get connected with an independent company that repairs gas and electric stoves, freestanding and slide-in ranges, and glass, coil and induction cooktops.
A gas burner that clicks but will not light is usually a wet or dirty igniter, a clogged burner port or a failed spark module; an electric coil or radiant element that stays cold is the element, its receptacle or the infinite switch.If you smell gas without a flame, shut the burner off, ventilate, and call the gas utility first.
Your call goes to one independent repair company covering your ZIP code — nobody else. No account, no forms.
What's wrong with your stove? Common problems and what usually causes them
Every symptom below is a job the company you're connected with sees every week. The technician confirms the cause on site and quotes the repair before any work starts.
| Stove & range symptom | Usual cause |

How stove repair works when you call
Brand, type of stove, and the symptom — takes about two minutes.
We connect you with an independent repair company that covers your ZIP code and can take the job.
The company confirms its visit fee, diagnoses the stove, quotes the repair and — if you approve — usually completes it the same visit when the part is on the truck.
What to have ready before you call
- The brand and model number (usually on a sticker inside the door or on the back)
- The symptom in plain words — what it does, what it does not do, any error code on the display
- Roughly how old the stove is (helps the company advise repair vs. replace honestly)
- Whether it is still under manufacturer warranty — if so, contact the manufacturer first

Repair or replace your stove?
Stoves and ranges routinely last 15+ years. Almost every burner, element, igniter and switch fault is worth repairing; a cracked glass cooktop on an older range is the main case where replacement costs less. The common rule: repair if the quote is under half the price of a comparable new unit and the appliance is not near the end of its typical lifespan. Use the repair-or-replace calculator for a quick answer on your specific case.
Common questions
One burner clicks nonstop even when off — is that a fire risk?
It usually means moisture or grease is shorting the igniter, or a spark switch has failed. Turn the breaker off to stop it and book a repair; it is not typically dangerous but it should not be left.
I smell gas when the burner is clicking but it will not light.
Turn the knob off, open a window and stop trying. If the smell persists call your gas utility or 911 first; once safe, book a repair — the fix is usually the igniter or a clogged burner.
Do they repair cooktops and induction?
Yes. Mention gas, radiant glass or induction and the brand so the right company is matched.
Under warranty?
Warranty repairs go through the manufacturer. We connect you with independent companies for out-of-warranty work.
