Kenmore Stove Repair in Philadelphia

Here is the equipment behind a Kenmore stove call: A freestanding Kenmore stove, built by Whirlpool or Frigidaire, usually has a coil or smooth-top electric surface or a gas top with sealed burners.

Repairs on these stoves usually involve coil element, burned-out receptacle, infinite switch, and igniter. Symptoms that bring us out include one coil not working, burner won't light, and heats only on high. Inspect the terminals on the coil element; pitted or scorched ends mean the receptacle has to be replaced together with the element. A coil that glows unevenly or shows a blister should be replaced before it fails outright.

Coil-top Kenmore stoves take common elements and receptacles, and a burner that heats on and off usually has a burned socket, not a failed switch. Gas tops from Whirlpool and Frigidaire use different igniters and burner heads, so the model prefix decides the parts. These are low-cost repairs that keep a working range in use.

If you smell gas around a stove, leave the house without touching light switches and call PGW or 911 from outside before calling anyone else. Before quoting, we clean and dry the suspect igniter and try again; that alone solves plenty of no-light complaints.

A Kenmore model number's three-digit prefix names the real builder: 106 and 110 mean Whirlpool, 253 means Frigidaire or Electrolux, and 795 or 796 means LG. Even a routine job such as the coil element gets a written estimate first, and our 90-day parts and 30-day labor warranty applies once it is done.

Let burner caps and heads dry completely after cleaning before you put them back. If the trouble is burner won't light, a short video of the symptom helps us arrive prepared.
