Stove repair in Takoma Park & Hillandale
Many Takoma Park kitchens have a freestanding gas stove pushed between counters that were built around an older model, and some apartments have compact units in narrow galleys. Hillandale houses mostly have full-width gas or electric stoves. Plenty of older stoves are still in service here, which means some parts, especially knobs and burner valves, can take longer to source.
Burner by burner: our stove checks
We light each burner and watch the flame. A lazy yellow flame suggests a dirty orifice or a misplaced cap, while a burner that clicks and won't catch sends us to the igniter, the electrode gap and the spark module. A valve that turns stiffly or leaks gas is replaced, not adjusted. Electric stoves get coil or radiant element tests, then the infinite switches and the terminal block. If the oven is part of the complaint, we take that up after the burners. Loose or cracked knobs and worn burner grates are noted, because a knob that slips on its shaft can leave a valve partly open.
Older stoves in apartments
Garden-apartment stoves in this area are usually owned and maintained by management. If yours belongs to the building, the office can call us to make the repair. If a gas smell is present, contact Washington Gas first. If you rent and the stove is yours, book with us directly and mention the floor, the stairs and where to park on the street.

Stove 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 igniter on that burner may be cracked, dirty or too far from the burner ports, or the burner switch may not be signaling the spark module. We clean and gap the electrode, check the switch and test the module. If the igniter is cracked, it needs a new one.
