Appliance Repair in 19085 · Radnor, Wayne & Villanova

A 36- or 48-inch pro-style range brings high-output sealed burners, a griddle or grill section, and one or two large ovens. Many are dual fuel, with gas burners on top and an electric oven below, so they need both a gas connection and a 240-volt circuit. That combination shapes the common service calls.

On the cooktop, the usual complaint is a burner that clicks continuously or will not light. Burner caps that are slightly out of place, spills in the igniter well and moisture after cleaning cause most of these, and a technician can test the spark module and switches if cleaning does not help. Low or uneven flames on a range that recently changed fuel, or one installed without the right conversion, point to orifice issues that should be handled by someone qualified. If you smell gas, leave the house without touching switches and call PECO or your gas utility, or 911, from outside.

In the oven, convection fans, bake and broil elements, and temperature sensors are typical repairs, and on gas ovens the igniter is a frequent culprit: a weak igniter glows but does not open the gas valve. Pro-style ranges are heavy and are often anchored and fitted tightly between cabinets, so pulling one out needs care to protect stone counters and floors. Parts for some high-end models are ordered rather than stocked, which the written estimate will make clear.

Most homes here have long driveways or motor courts; tell us which entrance is closest to the kitchen. Remove grates and pans you want kept clean, and clear the floor in front of the range. Have the model and serial number, often found behind the kick panel or under a burner grate, and know where the gas shutoff is.
