Stove repair in Mount Rainier & Brentwood
The classic setup in a bungalow or foursquare here is a freestanding gas stove against a wall, sometimes squeezed beside the sink, with a rigid or flexible connector to a black-iron gas pipe. Some older stoves still use standing pilots rather than electronic ignition. Landlords in the apartments tend to install basic models, and those are generally simple to service.
Working through a stove's burners and broiler
We begin at the surface. A burner with a weak, yellow or uneven flame usually has a clogged port, a misaligned cap or a dirty orifice, and we clean and align before suspecting the valve. On stoves with standing pilots, we check the pilot flame and the flash tubes that carry it to each burner. Electronic-ignition stoves get the igniters, spark module and switches tested. In the oven and broiler, we measure the igniter's current draw and check the safety valve, because the broiler often shares the same valve. We also confirm that the stove is level and that the anti-tip bracket is installed.
Anti-tip brackets in older kitchens
Many older stoves here were installed without an anti-tip bracket, which keeps the stove from tipping forward when the oven door is used as a step or a heavy pot is pulled. We check for one and mention it if it's missing.

Usually, yes. Standing-pilot stoves have simple parts: pilots, thermocouples on some models, valves and burners. Parts for very old models can be hard to find, so we identify the stove first and check availability. If a part is no longer made, we tell you before going further.
