Range Repair and Stove Repair Service

The most common issue is debris, like food crumbs, blocking the flow of gas needed to light a flame on the stovetop. If that’s not the case, there could be a faulty spark igniter connection that needs to be replaced.

Check your manual to confirm that the burners are removable. Then, after turning off all burners, find the socket the electric burner is plugged into. Grip the coil and lift it up slowly. You may have to rock it back and forth until it releases from the socket. If it’s not budging, allow a professional to remove it.

For electric stoves, first unplug the appliance and then remove the electric coil burners first. Wipe it with a soft towel or sponge with warm soapy water. Don’t get the electric connection wet. For gas stoves, dampen a small cloth with warm, soapy water and wipe around the burner. Next, remove the burner caps and use a toothbrush to remove all food debris in and around the burner slots.
