If your gas or electric stove isn’t working as intended, you might assume replacement is the only option. However, a wide range of issues with this appliance can be fixed with professional stove repair. If you’re experiencing these issues, speak with an appliance repair specialist to learn about your options.

5 Stove Issues Which Can Be Repaired

1. Faulty Wiring

If the entire stovetop has stopped working suddenly, the wiring is a likely culprit. This type of stove repair is best left to an expert due to safety concerns, but it’s a relatively fast and simple fix.

2. Burner Won’t Light

The most common reason for this problem is that the pilot light is out or the stove is not plugged in. The issue may also be that the portholes of the burner are clogged. If you’ve checked these areas and still have one or two burners which aren’t working, the issue may be something more serious, so contact a professional for repairs.

3. Bad Heating Element

Usually, if the burners on an electric stove won’t warm up, the heating element is to blame. For many models, the heating element should be replaced by an expert, especially if it’s not easily accessible.

4. Gas Smell

If you smell gas, open your windows and make sure all of the stove’s knobs are turned off. Due to the dangers of inhaling gas, it’s essential to shut off the supply immediately and call for stove repairs.

5. Noisy Flame

One potential cause of a noisy burner is too much air, so try adjusting the air shutter. If this doesn’t resolve the problem, then it’s likely being caused by too much gas. You’ll need a professional to adjust this setting safely.
