Repairing La Cornue in Kensington
We repair La Cornue appliances across Kensington, in all 1 of its ZIP code. A technician finds the fault on site, you see the price and decide, and we're independent rather than a La Cornue service center.
Kensington grew up around a stop on the old Metropolitan Branch of the B&O, and the porch-fronted Victorians near the tracks still set its character. Past the town line, the streets of North Kensington, Kensington Estates and Rock Creek Hills fill in with brick and frame houses put up after the Second World War.
Call or book online, and we'll find a time that suits you.
La Cornue: platform and parts
La Cornue designs its own equipment, so its parts and service procedures are its own, and parts for a job in Kensington come through La Cornue's supply chain.
Include the model number with your booking. Look for a sticker around the door opening, under the lid, along the frame or behind a lower panel; with it we can look up that design's known weak points and bring those parts.
Built-in and pro-style La Cornue equipment
Most La Cornue equipment is set into cabinetry or fastened in place, so for a visit in Kensington the first question is how to get at it. We plan that before the day, allow extra time, and protect the floor, cabinet fronts and counters before anything moves.
Replacing built-in La Cornue equipment also means cabinet or counter work, so a fault that would retire a freestanding appliance is usually just a repair on one of these.
Where La Cornue appliances sit in Kensington
Expect basement laundry, gas cooking on older supply lines, and kitchens that have been remodeled inside rooms never sized for today's deep refrigerators and dishwashers.
Whatever the badge, a La Cornue appliance in Kensington is only as good as the drain, circuit, duct and water line behind it, and here the laundry is usually in a basement reached by a narrow stair under the older houses, and a basement or utility room off the garage in the postwar ones.
Gas ranges, gas dryers and safety
Three complaints come up again and again with gas appliances: the oven igniter glows and nothing lights, a cooktop burner ticks without catching, and a gas dryer turns but never warms. Most trace to a worn igniter, a weak valve coil or a flame sensor, all ordinary parts.
Gas piping and the shutoff valve behind the appliance aren't ours to work on; if we see a problem there, you'll be told to call a licensed gas fitter.
Refrigerators in a hot garage
Garage refrigerators around Kensington have their hardest months in July and August, when a shut garage can get far hotter than the kitchen. The compressor runs nearly nonstop, the condenser fan labors, and a coil wearing a coat of dust turns a struggle into a failure.
The manual gives the range of room temperatures the model is built for. If the garage falls outside it, a garage-rated refrigerator or a cooler spot may do more good than a new part, and we'll tell you if that's the situation.

La Cornue Repair Questions in Kensington
The questions that come up most often. Anything not covered here, ask us when you call, or add it to the booking form's notes field.
Have a different question?
Tell us what make it is and what's going wrong. A few things can be settled over the phone, and anything else gets looked at during the visit.
Start with the manufacturer while the warranty is running; covered repairs are handled by its own network, and we're an independent company with no factory authorization. After the warranty ends, or for a fault it excludes, book with us in Kensington.
Usually. List every appliance giving trouble when you book a Kensington visit, with model numbers if you have them, so enough time is set aside and the likely parts come along.
No. Diagnosis comes first, because one symptom can point to parts with wildly different prices. After the technician finds the cause at your Kensington address, you get the quote, and nothing is touched until you say yes. If repairing it isn't sensible, you'll hear that too.
Where La Cornue still makes the part for your model number, that's what we fit. For discontinued parts there's sometimes an equivalent, and you'll know it's an equivalent before it's installed. La Cornue builds its own platform, so its parts come from La Cornue.
Usually repair. La Cornue builds for a longer life than economy lines and supports its parts for longer, so one failed part in a ten-year-old unit tends to leave plenty of good appliance behind, especially if it's built into your cabinets.
La Cornue trouble in Kensington?
Call or book online; the La Cornue model tag is usually inside the door or on the back panel. After the diagnosis we quote the repair, and it waits on your yes.

How a Repair Visit Works
Book the Visit
Call or use the form. Name the make and describe the fault; a model number, if handy, speeds up parts.
Find the Fault
At your place, the technician checks the appliance and whatever feeds it (power, water, drain, gas or venting) until the cause is clear.
Approve the Price
You get a plain explanation and a price for the repair. The work starts only if you say yes.
Fix and Check
The new part is fitted and the appliance is run through a cycle, so you can see it working.
