Common oven and stove problems

• Oven won't heat. On electric ovens, a burned-out bake or broil element. On gas ovens, a weak igniter is the most common cause.
• Temperature is off. A failing temperature sensor, a bad element or a control board issue.
• Burner won't light or clicks nonstop. Dirty or wet burner caps, a cracked igniter or a faulty spark switch.
• Electric burner won't heat. Bad element, loose receptacle or failed infinite switch.
• Self-clean problems. Door locked after a cycle, or the cycle blowing a fuse or board.
• Dead display or error codes. Control board or a surge-damaged component.

Gas safety first

If you smell gas, turn off the burners, do not use switches or flames, get everyone out and call your gas supplier or 911 from outside. Only a qualified technician should work on gas lines, valves and regulators.

A note on self-cleaning

The self-clean cycle runs the oven extremely hot, and it is one of the most common times for elements, fuses and control boards to fail. Many technicians suggest cleaning by hand with a paste of baking soda and water instead, especially on older ovens.

Quick checks

1. Check the breaker. Electric ranges use a double breaker.
2. On gas ranges, make sure the burner caps sit flat and dry.
3. Look for visible breaks or blisters on electric oven elements.
4. Reset the clock and check whether the oven is in a lockout or Sabbath mode.

Why appliances wear out faster here

• Hard water. Much of Citrus County draws water from private wells or utilities fed by the limestone Floridan aquifer. Calcium and magnesium build up in valves, pumps, heating elements and spray arms.
• Lightning and power surges. Central Florida sees some of the most lightning in the country. Summer storms send surges that can fry the electronic control boards in modern appliances. A whole-house surge protector is cheap insurance.
• Heat and humidity. Garages in Citrus County can top 100 degrees in summer, which strains garage refrigerators and freezers. Humidity feeds mold in front-load washer gaskets.
• Salt air. Near Crystal River and Homosassa, salt air corrodes coils, connectors and outdoor ice makers faster.

What oven and range repair costs

Elements, igniters, sensors and switches are common, moderate repairs. Control boards and gas valves cost more. Expect a diagnostic or trip fee, often credited toward the repair. Get the price in writing before work starts.

Repair or replace?

Ranges often last 13 to 15 years. Most repairs on a range under ten years old are worth doing. Higher-end models and wall ovens are usually worth repairing even when older, because replacement can mean cabinet work.

Brands

Local technicians commonly service GE, Whirlpool, Frigidaire, Samsung, LG, KitchenAid, Maytag, Bosch and others. Ask about your model when you call (352) 765-8676.
