A burner that won't light, an element stuck on high heat, or an igniter that just clicks without ever catching. We check the igniter and gas line first, since that's the most common cause on either type.
If your stove is doing any of this, it's usually one of a handful of common causes, not a sign it's time to replace it.
Burner won't light on a gas stove
Often an igniter that's slightly out of position or a clogged orifice, both of which stop the spark from actually reaching the gas.
Electric element stuck on high heat
Usually a stuck infinite switch controlling that burner, rather than a fault with the heating element itself.
Igniter clicks nonstop without ever lighting
Usually moisture or debris inside the igniter module, which stops the spark from reliably reaching the gas.
One coil element not heating at all
Usually an internal break in the element itself, which shows up as one section staying cold while the rest works fine.
Control knob spins freely, won't click into position
Usually a worn detent spring inside the knob assembly, not a fault with the burner or valve.
Burner flame burning uneven or yellow instead of blue
Often a partially clogged burner port or a ventilation issue, both worth checking before assuming a bigger problem.
A recent repair
Burner clicking endlessly, Maillardville
A range had one burner that clicked constantly without ever lighting. The igniter module had moisture intrusion from a previous spill. Dried and resealed the module, then confirmed reliable lighting across several attempts, with a 90-day warranty applied to the repair.
Genuine parts and technicians who know each platform, not just the basics.
Real stove and cooktop repairs, from quick fixes to the ones nobody else could figure out.
Burner clicked endlessly without lighting, right in the middle of making dinner. Igniter was slightly out of position, five minute fix.
One coil element wouldn't heat at all no matter the setting. Internal break in the element, replaced and even heat across the burner now.
Electric burner stuck on high heat constantly, couldn't turn it down. Infinite switch was stuck, fixed same visit.
Good fix on the gas burner. Four stars only because the part took an extra day to come in.
Control knob spun freely and wouldn't click into any setting. Detent spring was worn, quick and cheap fix.
We're out near Westwood Plateau and he still made it same-day, no extra charge for the drive.
Flame was burning yellow instead of blue on one burner. Port was partially clogged, cleared and burning properly now.
Igniter clicking nonstop for weeks before we finally called. Moisture had gotten into the module, dried and resealed.
Filled out the form one evening, got a callback the next morning and it was fixed before noon.
Old stove, assumed a burner was just done for good. He fixed the igniter instead and it lights perfectly now.
Solid repair, fair price. Only reason it's four stars is a slightly longer wait for the appointment.
Near Burke Mountain and he diagnosed the burner issue within minutes of arriving.
