Gas and electric stove repair
A burner that goes out, a coil that sparks or a cooktop that ignores the touch panel? A local technician comes to your home, tests the stove and explains the fix before any work starts.
Open a question to see the usual causes and a quick check you can safely do yourself. If it does not help, call us and tell us what you found.
Food and grease in the small holes around the burner leave gaps in the flame, so it struggles to stay lit.
A cap sitting off-centre after cleaning breaks up the flame ring and lets it go out.
If the gas pressure to the burners is wrong, flames run weak and go out. This part is a job for a certified gas technician.
With the burner off and cool, lift the cap and grate, wipe them dry and seat the cap flat and centred. If the burner still goes out, turn it off and call us.
A blistered or split coil can arc where the inner wire is exposed. You may see a bright spot or hear a crackle.
If the coil does not sit firmly in its plug-in socket, it can spark at the terminals.
A socket that has overheated before gets pitted and loose, and sparks every time the coil heats up.
Turn the burner off and let it cool. Look for blisters or cracks along the coil and check that it sits flat and pushes all the way into the socket. Do not use a coil that sparked.
Most touch cooktops have a lock to stop accidental use. When it is on, the panel ignores every key except unlock.
A worn or cracked touch panel stops registering presses, often one zone or one key at a time.
Spills that run under the glass or knobs can reach the board and make the controls act up or go dead.
Look for a lock or key symbol on the panel and hold it for three to five seconds. Wipe the glass dry. If nothing responds, switch the stove off at the breaker for five minutes.
On touch cooktops, a relay on the board can weld shut and keep power on even when the zone shows off.
On knob models, a worn switch can stay closed and keep the element at full heat.
A failing board can send power to the wrong zone or fail to cut it when the cooking ends.
If an element will not turn off, switch the stove off at the breaker right away and leave it off. Then call us. Do not use the cooktop until it has been checked.
Smell gas?
Do not touch light switches or appliances and do not try to find the leak. Leave the house, then call the Enbridge Gas emergency line at 1-866-763-5427 or 911 from outside. Call us for the repair only after the gas supply has been made safe.
