Stove & Range Repair in San Diego
A gas burner that clicks but won't light, or an electric element that stays cold, is usually a single part — an igniter, a switch, or a surface element — not a new range. We run same-day stove and range repair in San Diego, CA on gas, electric, glass-top, and induction cooktops. Flat $80 diagnostic, applied to the repair. 90-day guarantee on parts and labor. (If it's the oven or baking side acting up, that's on our <a href="/services/oven">oven repair</a> page.)

Gas, electric, glass-top, or induction, we know the platform.
The stove and range problems we fix most.
An Electric Burner Won't Heat
One burner cold while the others work points right at that burner — on a coil stove it's usually the element or the receptacle it plugs into; on a glass-top it's the radiant element underneath or the infinite switch that feeds it power. We swap-test to isolate it fast, so you're not paying to replace a good part.
A Gas Burner Clicks but Won't Light
Endless clicking with no flame is usually a clogged or wet burner port, a worn spark igniter, or the spark module that fires them. After a spill or a cleaning it's often just moisture — but if it keeps up, the igniter or module needs replacing. We clear, test, and get a clean blue flame back.
A Burner Stuck on High or Won't Adjust
A burner that only runs full-blast or won't simmer is the infinite switch (electric) or a worn gas valve. It's a safety issue as much as a cooking one — we replace the switch or valve and confirm it cycles across the whole range again.
Induction Won't Recognize the Pan
An induction burner that flashes an error or won't power on is often the cookware — induction needs magnetic, flat-bottomed pans. If your pans are right, it's usually the coil, the control board, or a cooling-fan fault. We confirm the cookware first, then test the electronics.
Cracked or Scorched Glass Cooktop
A cracked ceramic-glass surface should be taken out of service — moisture can reach the wiring underneath. On most models the glass top is its own serviceable part, so we assess it and put the exact part and price in writing before ordering anything.
You Smell Gas at the Range
A gas smell is urgent — shut the range off and, if it's strong, leave and call SDG&E first. Once the line's cleared we find the source: a worn valve, a loose connection, or an igniter that isn't lighting fast enough and lets gas escape. We repair it and verify with a leak test.
The Whole Range Is Dead
No burners, no display, nothing. On an electric range that runs on a 240-volt circuit, one tripped breaker leg can kill it; it can also be the control board or a wiring fault. We trace power from the wall to the board and find where the circuit breaks.
What you get on every stove and range call.
No two stovetop jobs are the same — a surface element, a spark module, and a glass top are different work and different parts. Rather than hide that behind a flat number, here's what's the same on every stove and range repair San Diego homeowners book with us.
Five quick checks before you call.
A few burner problems clear up in minutes. Run these first — if the burner still won't light or heat afterward, that's a real repair and we're a call away.
Swap a coil element (electric coil)
On a plug-in coil stove, swap the dead burner's element with one the same size that works. If the problem follows the element, it's the element; if it stays put, it's the receptacle or switch. A five-minute test that often names the part.
Clean and dry a gas burner
If a gas burner won't light, lift the cap and grate and clear the little ports with a pin — food and grease block them constantly. After a spill or a wash, let everything dry fully; a wet igniter clicks without lighting until it dries out.
Check your induction cookware
Induction only works with magnetic, flat-bottomed pans — if a magnet doesn't stick firmly to the bottom, the burner won't power on. Try a different pan before assuming the cooktop's broken; it's the most common induction false alarm.
Reset both breaker legs (electric range)
Electric ranges pull 240 volts across two breaker poles. If the cooktop is fully dead, one pole may have dropped — switch the range breaker all the way off, then back on, to reset both. Still nothing? The control board or wiring needs metering.
Confirm the controls aren't locked
Many glass-top and induction ranges have a control lock or child-lock that silences the whole cooktop — check for a lock icon and hold the key to clear it. It's an easy one to miss, and it looks exactly like a dead control panel.
What is my stove or range code telling me?
Glass-top and induction ranges flash a code when they fault. Here are the common ones across San Diego kitchens — and what's a reset versus a real part.
| Brand | Code | What it means & first step |
|---|---|---|
| Samsung & LG | control & sensor codes | Samsung and LG glass-top ranges flag control-board and element-sensor faults, and a control-lock that mutes the whole cooktop. We confirm whether it's a locked panel, a sensor, or the board itself before replacing electronics. |
| Frigidaire, GE & Whirlpool | F-codes | These platforms throw F-codes for a stuck relay, a shorted element, or a control fault — often after a spill works into the touch controls. We read it at the board with a meter rather than guess from the code alone. |
| Induction | cookware & overheat codes | Induction burners flash a code for unsuitable or missing cookware, or for an overheated coil when the cooling fan is failing. We rule out the pan first, then test the coil, fan, and board. |
What fails, by brand — and what the fix takes.
Every stovetop platform has its weak spot. Here's what we pull apart most in San Diego stove and range repair, from glass-top ranges to pro-style gas.
Samsung & LG — Glass-Top Elements & Boards
A Samsung or LG electric stove burner not working is the call we get most on these — a radiant element under the glass or the control board that drives the touch cooktop. We test the element and the board's output before condemning either, since a glass-top board is the pricey part.
Whirlpool, GE & Frigidaire — Switches & Elements
These run to infinite-switch and surface-element failures on coil and glass-top models — the everyday "one burner's dead" or "a burner's stuck on high" fix. On gas versions it's the spark module or igniter. Switch-and-element is the standard, durable repair.
Gas Ranges — Igniters, Modules & Valves
Across brands, a gas burner that clicks without lighting comes down to the spark igniter, the spark module that fires them, or a worn gas valve — plus clogged ports from spills. We clear the ports and replace the igniting parts so you get a fast, clean light.
Bosch & Induction Cooktops
Bosch and other induction cooktops come down to the coil, the control board, and the cooling fan that protects the electronics. They're efficient and worth repairing — we diagnose the coil and fan before the board, which is the expensive part.
How a stove and range repair goes.
From cold burner to fixed, in four steps.
Tell us the type and what it's doing
Call (858) 788-1552 or book online with the type (gas, electric coil, glass-top, induction), the brand, and the symptom — burner won't light, won't heat, stuck on high, whole range dead. Reach us before early afternoon and same-day is usually on the table.
The $80 diagnostic
Your technician swap-tests the burners and reads the igniter or element, the switch or valve, and the control board to find the real cause. You get a written quote first, and the $80 comes off the total once you approve the repair.
Most fixes, same visit
Approve it and we go — surface elements, infinite switches, igniters, and spark modules are already on the truck. A glass top or control board gets a firm follow-up date, with no second diagnostic fee.
90 days, parts and labor
Backed 90 days, parts and labor. If that burner or element fails the same way again, the callback is on us — no second diagnostic, no charge for the part.
