Quick safety check before you test anything
Most stove issues are not emergencies. Some are. Stop using the stove and call for help if you notice:
- ● A gas smell that does not go away
- ● Burner clicks & you smell gas
- ● Soot marks near burners

If you smell gas, turn all knobs off. Do not keep clicking the igniter. Ventilate the room. Then call a professional.
Stove, cooktop, or oven?
People use these words interchangeably, which causes confusion. Here is the simple version:
Stove (Range)
The whole unit: burners on top and oven below. This page focuses on stove and range problems, especially burner and top operation issues.
Cooktop
Just the top surface. No oven underneath. If your issue is strictly on the surface, you may want our Cooktop Repair page.
Oven
The baking chamber. If your issue is mainly baking or preheating, start here.
Common stove problems we fix in Tyler
Stoves fail in patterns. That is good news. Patterns make diagnosis faster.
Gas burner will not ignite
One of the most common calls. Sometimes simple (misaligned cap, spillover residue, moisture). Other times, the spark system, ignition switch, or spark module has failed.
A stove that clicks while gas flows is not something to ignore.
Flame is weak or uneven
Weak flame is frustrating—boiling takes forever. It can be restricted gas flow, dirty burner ports, or a regulator or valve issue. We test stability and confirm the cause.
Stove keeps clicking
Usually means the ignition system thinks it should be sparking. Moisture, grime, or a failing switch can cause it. If it continues after drying, book repair.
Electric burner will not heat
Elements burn out, switches fail, wiring loosens, or control boards quit. One burner out usually points to a local part; multiple failures point to bigger electrical issues.
Heats too hot or not enough
Often a failing infinite switch, but can be a sensor or damaged element. We test heat behavior and confirm what is actually happening.
Burner works sometimes, then fails
Intermittent problems are hard to diagnose at home. A loose connection, weak switch, or control issue can cause it. We look for repeatable patterns.
Knob spins freely
Can be a worn stem or internal switch issue. You should not have to guess. We inspect the control interface and confirm the failure.
Stove trips the breaker
Can come from shorted heating circuits, damaged wiring, failed terminals, or moisture. We test safely and confirm electrical readings.
What you can check before you call
These safe checks can save time. They do not replace diagnosis, but they often solve the “mystery.”
For gas burners:
- ● Confirm burner cap is seated flat and correctly
- ● Clean spillover residue and dry the area completely
- ● Try a different burner to compare behavior
For electric burners:
- ● Confirm the breaker did not trip
- ● If it trips again, stop and call
- ● Check if one burner is out or several
For constant clicking:
- ● Turn the knob off and let the area dry
- ● Clean around the burner base
Why a good diagnosis matters
A stove is a mix of gas delivery, ignition, electrical controls, and safety parts. A bad diagnosis leads to wasted money—replacing an igniter when the switch is bad, or a switch when wiring is the issue.
We start with testing, not guessing.
We confirm the cause before we recommend a repair. That is the difference between a quick fix and a fix that lasts. If the issue is inside the oven cavity, you may need Oven repair.

We complete the repair. Then we run a verification cycle: ignition, heating, and control stability.

The Tyler detail
Tyler kitchens vary. Older neighborhoods like Azalea District often have older wiring patterns and tight range cutouts. Newer builds near South Tyler feature modern controls that throw confusing errors. We plan for these variables to show up ready.
Pricing approach
Price depends on model, fuel type, parts, and access. Upfront: we confirm symptoms and safety. After diagnosis: we explain cause, give options, and get approval before work.
Repair or replace?
Repair makes sense when:
It is a common wear part, the stove is otherwise stable, and the fix restores safe operation.
Replacement makes sense when:
There are repeated major failures, control issues keep returning, or cost approaches value.
The cost of ignoring stove problems
Ignition safety
Weak ignition means gas is flowing without lighting that is not something to “work around.” You want safe, consistent ignition.
Electrical escalation
Breaker trips and smells are warning signs. Repeated resets can make things worse. Be smart, handle it early.
Unreliable cooking
Avoiding burners or cooking at odd temperatures leads to more wear and frustration. Repair is about safe, predictable life.
