Stove Repair Near Me: One Visit for the Burners and the Oven
A freestanding range does two jobs in one box. The burners on top and the oven below run on separate parts, so a dead burner does not always mean a dead oven. When you search for stove repair near me, you want someone who can diagnose both halves and tell you which one is really failing.
On an electric range, each surface unit has an element and a switch, and the oven has its own elements and sensor. On a gas range, each burner has a cap, a port, and an igniter or spark module, and the oven has its own igniter and safety valve. We test the pieces in order, starting with the simplest and most common faults, so the visit stays short.
We repair gas and electric freestanding ranges, slide in ranges, and stoves from every major brand. If the oven side is the main problem, see our oven repair page. If you have a separate built in cooking surface, see our cooktop repair page.
What you get with every stove and range visit
- A person who answers the phone and books the next opening.
- A clear price before any part is ordered.
- A test of every burner and the oven before we leave.
- A check of the anti tip bracket, so you know the range is secure.
- The failed part shown to you, with a plain explanation.
- A straight opinion when repairing no longer makes sense.
A burner that clicks and never lights is almost never a gas supply problem when the others work. The cause is usually food in the burner ports, a wet or misaligned cap, or a weak igniter. These are quick repairs.
Range Safety: Anti Tip Brackets and Healthy Burner Flames
A range is heavy and can tip forward if the wrong weight lands on an open oven door. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has warned about it for years.
The CPSC says an anti tip bracket can save you or your child from serious injury or death. Voluntary safety standards require manufacturers to supply a bracket with new ranges. If yours came without one, or the bracket was never installed, check with the manufacturer. Some will send a bracket at no charge. The bracket must be anchored to the wall or floor, and the back of the range must sit in it.
The other safety check is the flame. A healthy gas burner makes a steady blue flame with only a hint of yellow at the tips. A flame that is mostly yellow or orange, lifts off the burner, or leaves black soot on pots needs attention, since it may not be burning cleanly. We check the flame at every burner during a visit.
Tip over warning. Never stand on an open oven door, never put a heavy pot on it, and never leave a child alone in front of an open oven. If the range has been pulled out for cleaning, make sure it is pushed back into the bracket before you cook.
A quick range safety check
- Gently pull the top front edge of the range up. If it lifts, the bracket may be missing.
- Turn pot handles inward so a child cannot grab them.
- Keep items kids want, like cookies, away from the range top.
- Look at each gas flame. It should be steady and mostly blue.
- Ask us to check the bracket on your next visit.
Why Your Stove Burner or Range Is Not Working: Causes and Fixes
Here are the eight faults behind most range calls, what each one looks like, and how we fix it.
Parts that run a stove and range
- Surface element
- On electric ranges, the coil or radiant ring that heats the pan.
- Burner receptacle
- The plug in socket that powers a coil element.
- Infinite switch
- The knob switch that controls heat on an electric burner.
- Spark module
- On gas ranges, sends the spark to the burner igniters.
- Burner cap and ports
- Guide the gas and flame on a gas burner.
- Oven igniter or bake element
- The heat source for the oven.
- Temperature sensor
- Reports the oven temperature to the control.
- Control board
- Runs the oven clock, timer, and heat decisions.
Burnt out surface element
One electric burner stays cold, or heats only in spots. You may see a blister or break in the coil.
- Likely cause
- The element has failed after years of heating and cooling.
- Our fix
- We test the element and replace it if it reads open.
Loose or burnt receptacle
A burner works only when you wiggle the coil, or the terminals look dark and burnt.
- Likely cause
- Heat and loose contact have damaged the plug in socket.
- Our fix
- We replace the receptacle and check the wiring for heat damage.
Failed infinite switch
A burner stays on high, will not turn up, or works only at some settings.
- Likely cause
- The switch inside the knob has worn out.
- Our fix
- We test the switch and replace it.
Burner clicks, will not light
A gas burner clicks over and over, but no flame starts, while other burners work.
- Likely cause
- Food or moisture blocks the ports, the cap is crooked, or the igniter is weak.
- Our fix
- We clean the ports, seat the cap, and test the igniter and spark module.
Constant clicking
A gas range clicks on its own, even when no burner is lit.
- Likely cause
- Moisture, spilled food, or a stuck switch keeps the spark module active.
- Our fix
- We dry and clean the area, then test the module and switches.
Oven will not heat
The burners work, but the oven stays cold.
- Likely cause
- A burnt bake element, a weak igniter, or a failed sensor.
- Our fix
- We test the oven parts in order and replace the one that failed.
Breaker trips on use
The range trips the breaker when you turn on a burner or the oven.
- Likely cause
- A shorted element, a damaged wire, or water in the control area.
- Our fix
- We find the short and repair or replace the damaged part.
Dead control panel
The clock, display, or oven touch panel is blank or frozen.
- Likely cause
- The board has failed after a surge or heat, or power is not reaching it.
- Our fix
- We check power first, then test and replace the board.
Boiled over pots are the number one killer of burners and control panels in North Texas kitchens. A burner that gets wet while hot can crack, and liquid under the cap can short a switch. Wipe up boil overs quickly once the range is cool.
For stand alone built in burners, see our cooktop repair page.

Stove Burner Not Working? Five Checks Before You Call
A few minutes of looking can fix a burner that seems dead. Try these before you book.
Check the breaker
An electric range uses a large double breaker. If one half trips, some burners may work while others do not. Flip the breaker off and on once.
Next: If the breaker trips again right away, stop and call us.
Reseat the coil
On a coil style range, switch the burner off and let it cool, then pull the coil out and push it back in firmly. Try swapping it with a working burner to see if the coil or the socket is bad.
Next: If the working coil fails in the bad socket, the receptacle is the problem.
Clean the gas burner
On a gas range, lift off the cap and look at the small ports. Clear any food with a pin or a soft brush. Dry the burner fully and set the cap down flat.
Next: A crooked cap is a very common reason a burner will not light.
Listen to the clicking
A gas burner that clicks without a flame usually has a clogged port. Constant clicking when nothing is lit usually points to moisture. Do not use the burner until it is dry.
Next: Write down which burners click and which stay silent.
Test the oven separately
Turn on the oven and check if it heats. A working oven with dead burners, or the reverse, tells us which half of the range to test first.
Next: The answer helps us bring the right parts.
Safety first. Let every burner cool before you touch it. For an electric range, switch off the breaker before you touch wires or terminals. If you smell gas, leave the house and call 911 or your gas company from outside.

Stove and Range Repair or Replace? A Simple Guide
If the repair costs more than half the price of a similar new range, and yours is old, replacing is usually smarter. If not, repair is usually the better value.
Ranges last a long time. Many serve about 13 to 15 years, and gas ranges often run a bit longer. Burners, switches, receptacles, and igniters on a range in its middle years are worth fixing, since each part is small and the range is a big purchase.
A rusted oven cavity, a cracked glass top, or several failures in a row on an older range makes replacing more attractive. We tell you which case yours is, and we say so even when it costs us the job.
How to Keep Your Stove and Range Working Longer
Simple habits protect the parts that fail first.
- Wipe boil overs once cool.Liquid under burners and caps damages switches and igniters.
- Clean gas burner ports.Clear them with a soft brush so the flame stays even.
- Seat caps flat.A tilted cap causes uneven flames and failed lighting.
- Use flat bottom pans.A warped pan overheats coils and glass tops.
- Pull coils carefully.Switch off and cool the burner before you remove a coil.
- Keep the anti tip bracket engaged.Check it after any cleaning or move.
- Do not lean on the oven door.It can bend hinges and risk tipping.
- Fix small problems early.A clicking burner that is ignored often becomes a bigger repair.
Stove and Range Repair FAQs: Burner Not Working, Cost, and More
Quick, honest answers to common questions. If yours is not here, give us a call.
Is there stove repair near me in The Colony that can come today?
Yes. Openings change through the day, so call (214) 771-7103 and ask for the soonest slot. If you smell gas, leave the house first and call 911 or your gas company from outside.
Why is one burner on my stove not working?
On an electric range, the element, the receptacle, or the switch for that burner has often failed. On a gas range, a clogged port, a crooked cap, or a weak igniter is common. Other burners that work tell us the problem is local to that burner.
Why does my gas stove click but not light?
Food in the burner ports, a wet or misaligned cap, or a weak igniter is the usual cause. Dry and clean the burner and seat the cap flat. If it still will not light, call us so we can test the spark module and igniter.
Why does my stove keep clicking when nothing is on?
Moisture or spilled food near the igniters, or a stuck switch, can keep the spark module active. Dry the burners fully after cleaning. If the clicking continues, call us before it wears out the module.
Why is my range oven not heating but the stove works?
The burners and the oven use separate parts. A burnt bake element, a weak oven igniter, a failed sensor, or a control fault can stop the oven alone. We test the oven parts one by one.
Why does my electric range trip the breaker?
A shorted element, a damaged wire, or moisture in the control area can trip the breaker. Do not keep resetting it. Turn off the range and call us.
How much does stove and range repair cost?
We do not post dollar prices, since every stove and repair is different. Small fixes such as cleaning and reseating a cap cost the least. Switches and sparkers sit in the middle. Control boards cost the most. We give the exact price after we test and before any work starts.
Is it worth repairing a stove or range?
If the range is under about 10 years old and the repair costs less than half of a new one, repair is usually worth it. If it is 15 years or older and the repair is large, replacing may be smarter. We give you an honest opinion.
What is an anti tip bracket, and does my range need one?
It is a small metal bracket that anchors the back of the range so it cannot tip forward. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends one for every freestanding range. We can check yours during a visit.
What does a yellow or orange gas flame mean?
A healthy gas burner burns steady and mostly blue. A flame that is mostly yellow or orange may mean dirty ports, a poor air mix, or a part problem. Clean the burner and call us if the color does not improve.
Why will my range display or clock not work?
A tripped breaker, a failed control board, or a loose connection can blank the display. Check the breaker first. If power is on and the panel stays dead, call us to test the board.
Do you repair gas and electric ranges, slide in, and freestanding?
Yes. We repair gas and electric freestanding and slide in ranges from all major brands. For a stand alone cooking surface, see our cooktop repair page.
How long does a stove or range repair take?
The visit usually takes between one and two hours. When we need to order a part, we give you a clear timeline and book the return. We test every burner and the oven before we leave.
How can I make the repair visit faster?
Find the model number label, note whether the range is gas or electric, and write down which burner or part fails. Clear the area in front of the range. That saves time on the day.
