The oven you need fixed may be the oven in a freestanding or slide-in gas or electric range, a single or double wall oven, a convection or steam oven, or a microwave-wall-oven combination. We repair all of them across Metro Atlanta, along with gas, electric radiant and induction cooktops, including premium models from Wolf, Thermador, Miele, Dacor and Bosch. Work on the gas piping itself is referred to a licensed plumber or gas contractor; if you smell gas, leave the house and call 911 or your gas utility from outside (Atlanta Gas Light's 24-hour emergency line is 877-427-4321).
Typical failures are bake and broil elements, oven igniters and gas safety valves, temperature sensors, door lock motors after a self-clean cycle, relays, cooktop element switches and burner spark modules. The technician reads the fault codes major brands use, and the repair can often be finished on the first visit when the part is in stock.
Built-in units take more time to access, which is why the diagnostic for double, built-in and combination ovens is $120. As always, it is waived when you approve the written estimate, and the repair carries our 60-day parts-and-labor warranty.

Common problems
Oven & cooktop problems we fix in Atlanta
Tell us the symptom when you book; it helps the technician plan for the likely part. These are the problems behind most calls for this appliance.
Oven not heating
An open bake element, a blown thermal fuse, a failed relay board or a control board. We measure the element directly.
Gas oven not lighting
Usually the glow-bar igniter: it does not glow at all, or it glows but has weakened so the gas safety valve never opens. The valve itself, the control and a shutoff valve bumped closed behind the range are the other suspects. We test the igniter under load rather than replacing it on sight.
Gas burner clicking but not lighting
Most often moisture or debris in the burner head after a boil-over or cleaning, a burner cap that is off-center, or an electrode that is not seated. If a dry, clean burner still will not light, the spark module, a switch or the electrode has failed.
Gas oven lights with a boom
Delayed ignition: gas builds up before the igniter lights it. GE says this needs service, so stop using the oven until it is checked. If you smell gas, leave and call 911 or your gas utility from outside.
Wrong temperature or uneven baking
A drifted temperature sensor, a failed convection fan or a control that needs calibration. We verify with a calibrated thermometer, not the display.
Broil not working
A failed broil element or a relay on the control board. Usually a straightforward repair.
Door locked after self-clean
The door lock motor or switch has failed, or a thermal fuse blew from the self-clean heat. Running self-clean right before a holiday is a common trigger.
F-codes and error messages
F1, F2, F3, F9 and brand-specific codes point to sensors, door locks, keypads and boards. We confirm the code with tests before replacing anything.
Electric cooktop element not heating
A failed radiant element, an infinite switch or a burned receptacle on coil-top models.
Induction cooktop not detecting cookware
A failed induction coil, a control or power board, or a pan that is not magnetic. We test the coils and boards individually.
Convection fan noisy or not running
A worn fan motor or a fan blade hitting the cover. A steady rattle behind the back wall of the oven is the giveaway.
Cracked cooktop glass
Glass tops can be replaced on most models. We will quote the glass and labor so you can compare with a new cooktop.

Prevention
Maintenance tips for your oven
A few habits that help prevent breakdowns, in line with what the manufacturers recommend.
Skip self-clean right before a holiday
The extreme heat of a self-clean cycle is a common cause of blown thermal fuses and failed door locks. Clean by hand or run it well ahead of time.
Verify the temperature with a thermometer
An inexpensive oven thermometer tells you whether the sensor has drifted. Most controls can be offset a few degrees to compensate.
Clean glass-top spills once cool
Sugary spills can pit a glass cooktop. Let the surface cool, then use a cooktop scraper and a cleaner made for glass.
Do not slam the door
Oven doors carry hinges, springs and a glass pack. Slamming breaks hinges and gaskets and can crack inner glass.
Replace a torn door gasket
A worn gasket leaks heat, throws off temperature and makes the oven work harder. It is a quick, inexpensive fix.
Use magnetic cookware on induction
If a magnet does not stick to the pan bottom, the cooktop cannot heat it. Many "not working" calls are cookware.
Dry gas burner heads after cleaning
A wet burner head clicks and will not light. GE says most ignition problems come from heads clogged or wet after cleaning or a spill, so let the caps and heads dry fully and put each one back in its own position.

FAQ
Oven & cooktop repair questions, answered
Why is my oven not heating?
On an electric oven, the bake element or a relay is the usual cause, and a blown thermal fuse after a self-clean cycle is another frequent reason. On a gas oven it is usually the igniter, which can glow and still be too weak to open the gas valve. All of these are standard repairs.
Do you repair gas ovens and cooktops?
Yes: gas and dual-fuel ranges, gas wall ovens, gas cooktops and rangetops, including igniters, gas safety valves, spark modules, electrodes and burner assemblies. New or altered gas piping, and any leak in the house piping, are work for a licensed plumber or gas contractor. If you smell gas, leave the house and call 911 or your gas utility from outside; Atlanta Gas Light's 24-hour emergency line is 877-427-4321.
How much does oven or cooktop repair cost?
The diagnostic is $80 for cooktops and single ovens and $120 for double, built-in and combination ovens, waived with the repair. Standard repairs start at $180 labor plus parts; double and built-in ovens start at $250.
My oven door locked after self-clean. What now?
Let it cool completely and try a power reset at the breaker. If the lock does not release, the lock motor, a switch or a thermal fuse has failed. It is usually a single-part repair.
Do you repair Wolf, Thermador and Viking ovens?
Yes, gas, dual-fuel, electric and induction models, once they are out of the factory warranty. Premium parts cost more, and the written estimate shows that before any work starts.
Can you fix an induction cooktop?
Yes. Induction faults are typically coils or power boards, which we test individually. First make sure your cookware is magnetic.
Is it worth repairing a wall oven?
Almost always. Wall ovens are expensive to replace and often require cabinet modification, and most failures are inexpensive parts like elements, sensors and door locks.
Do you repair oven doors and glass?
Yes. We replace hinges, gaskets, inner and outer glass and door handles on most models.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All parts and labor are covered by our 60-day warranty.
