Range Repair
Range Repair in Kensington, MD
A technician visits your Kensington home or business, tests the range where it's installed, and prices the repair before any work.
Booking online works too. Include the range's model number and your Kensington street, and we can check parts first.
First the appliance and its location, then your contact details. We follow up to schedule.

Range repair in Kensington
When Kensington owners remodel, the range is often where they spend. Updated Victorians may have a slide-in range with a gas top and electric convection oven, and the larger houses built on older lots near Rock Creek sometimes carry a 36- or 48-inch pro-style range with sealed burners, a griddle and two ovens. These ranges need both a gas line and a 240-volt circuit, and their controls are more complex than a basic stove.
Pinning down faults on dual-fuel and pro-style ranges
With a dual-fuel range we treat the gas top and electric oven as two systems. On top, we check reignition, spark electrodes and burner valves, along with simmer performance on dual-stacked burners. In the oven, we measure the bake, broil and convection elements, check the convection fan motor, and test the temperature sensor and door lock. Pro-style ranges with gas ovens use igniters, safety valves and sometimes a separate infrared broiler, each tested in turn. Control boards and touch panels are checked only after the components they drive, because a board often gets blamed for a failed sensor.
Big ranges in tight Kensington kitchens
A pro-style range is heavy and often wider than the original kitchen opening, so moving it for service in an older Kensington house needs floor protection and space. Let us know the width and brand when you book, and whether the range hood above runs on its own switch. Most of these ranges also need two people to slide them out.

Range Repair Questions
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.
The burners and oven run on separate systems. If the oven heats but the burners do not spark, look at the spark module, the igniter switches and the electrode wiring. A tripped circuit or loose connection at the range's power supply can affect only the spark side, so we check power first.

How a Range Repair Visit Works
Book the Visit

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.
