Professional Stove Repairs for a Safer Kitchen
A stove that won’t ignite, heats unevenly, or has a broken burner can disrupt meal prep and pose a safety risk. Our technicians identify the actual fault, whether it’s an electric element, a gas igniter or a control panel, and test the fix before they leave.
Common Stove Problems We Fix
Burner won’t heat
On electric stoves, usually a failed coil element or a bad connection at the receptacle. On gas stoves, a fouled igniter or a clogged burner port. We test the element or igniter directly rather than swapping parts on a guess.
Stove won’t turn on at all
Check the breaker and outlet first; if power is present, the control board, main switch or wiring behind the panel is the likely cause. We test each in order, saving the control board for last since it’s usually the most expensive part.
Burner runs too hot or won’t hold a low simmer
Usually a failing infinite switch (the dial that controls electric burner heat) or, on gas models, an oversized or misaligned burner cap. We test the switch’s resistance and check the cap seating before replacing anything.
Uneven cooking across the burners
One weak element or a clogged gas port is more common than a full stove fault. We check each burner individually with a thermometer or flame test to isolate the one that’s actually failing.
Control panel unresponsive or showing an error code
We read the code against the manufacturer’s own support documentation before ordering a part, since the same code can point to a sensor, a control board or simply a loose connector.
Gas smell or a burner that won’t stay lit
This can be a genuine gas leak, a fouled igniter, or a thermocouple that’s cutting the flame. If you smell gas, shut off the supply and call us the same day rather than repeatedly relighting the burner.
Anti-tip bracket missing or the stove rocks when you lean on the door
Building code requires an anti-tip bracket on freestanding ranges, and a surprising number of stoves in Montreal homes are missing one after a move or a DIY install. We check for it on every service call and install one if it’s missing.
Oven and stove clock or display is dead but burners still work
Usually an isolated failure in the display board or its power supply, separate from the burner circuits. We confirm the burners and elements are unaffected before quoting the display repair on its own.
Glass or ceramic cooktop is cracked or has a burn mark
A hairline crack can spread with heat cycling and is a safety issue, not just cosmetic. Depending on the model, we can sometimes replace just the glass surface instead of the whole cooktop.
Knobs are stripped, loose or missing
Knob shafts wear out faster than the valve or switch behind them, especially on older ranges. We match replacement knobs to the valve type so the click-stops still line up correctly.
Gas stove burner sparks continuously, even after it lights
Usually a stuck igniter switch or moisture trapped under the burner cap from a recent spill or a cleaning. We dry and reseat the cap first, since that alone resolves it more often than a full igniter swap.
Oven light works but the stovetop indicator lights don’t
These usually run on separate circuits, so an indicator failure doesn’t mean the burner itself is unsafe to use, but it does mean you can’t tell by looking whether a burner is still hot. We test and replace the indicator board so you can trust it again.
Repair or Replace?
A stove repair is usually far cheaper than a new range, and a single element, igniter or switch swap can add years to an otherwise sound stove. Older electric ranges also draw more power than current models, per Hydro-Quebec’s data on appliance electricity use, which is worth factoring in if yours is nearing 15 years old and needs a second major repair. As a rule of thumb, if the repair costs less than half of a comparable new range and the cooktop and cabinet are otherwise in good shape, repairing is usually the better value. We give you a written quote before any work starts, in line with the warranty rules the Office de la protection du consommateur sets for appliance repairs, so a repeat failure on the same part is covered rather than billed again.

Everything you need to know about your stove repair in Montreal
The common causes are a power supply issue (check the connection and breaker), a failed heating element, an ignition problem on gas models (check the burner cap and clean the igniter), or a clogged burner opening. Cleaning debris from a gas burner solves the problem more often than homeowners expect; food spills and grease can block the small ports around the burner cap and starve it of gas even when the igniter sparks fine. On electric coil stoves, check whether the coil glows at all when you turn the dial. If it does nothing, remove it carefully (unplug the stove first) and check the receptacle behind it for scorch marks, which point to a wiring fault instead of the element itself. If none of that fixes it, the element or igniter itself needs replacing, and that's a job for a technician who can confirm the part before ordering it, since coil elements are not universal across brands.
Usually a failing infinite switch or thermostat, a warped or dirty burner surface, or a control board that's misreading its own sensor. Electric coil burners cycle on and off by design to hold a set heat level, so what looks like temperature drift is sometimes normal operation rather than a fault; a technician can time the cycling with a thermometer to confirm whether it's actually outside spec. On glass-top and induction ranges, a warped pan or a scratched cooking surface can also cause uneven heat that feels like a temperature problem but isn't. If the burner runs consistently hotter or colder than the dial setting across multiple pans, the infinite switch itself has likely worn out and needs replacing rather than the element.
A faulty heating element, a stuck infinite switch, a miscalibrated temperature control, or a dirty and blocked burner are the usual causes. Regular cleaning, using cookware that matches the burner size, and turning burners off rather than leaving them on low all reduce the wear that leads to this. A burner that stays on full heat regardless of the dial setting usually means the infinite switch has failed in the closed position, which is both an inconvenience and a fire risk if it happens while you're out of the kitchen. If you notice this, switch the breaker off to that burner and have it looked at before using it again.
Start with the breaker and the outlet connection. If power is present, check the control panel and the wiring behind it, along with the heating elements themselves, for visible damage. Some stoves have a thermal safety cutout that trips after overheating and needs time to reset before the unit will respond again. If the stove still won't turn on once it's cooled, the issue is in the wiring or the control board, and that needs a technician's diagnosis rather than guesswork, since opening the control panel on a range that's still connected to power is a real safety risk. A range that trips the same breaker repeatedly, rather than simply failing to power on, points to a short somewhere in the wiring and should be looked at before you keep resetting it.
