What We Fix
A pro-style range is the centerpiece of most Franklin Lakes kitchens, and when a burner will not light or the oven bakes unevenly the whole kitchen slows down. We repair the cooking and baking side of gas, dual-fuel, and induction ranges: sealed burners that click without lighting, low or uneven flames, oven cavities that overshoot or run cold, self-clean cycles that leave the door locked, and convection fans that whine. On induction models we handle dead cooking zones and control-board faults.
Common Problems We See
- Burner clicks but will not light: a spark module, a wet or misaligned cap, or a clogged port.
- Weak or yellow flame: a partially blocked burner or a gas-flow issue.
- Oven will not reach temperature: a weak bake igniter or a drifting sensor.
- Oven overshoots: a temperature sensor out of calibration or a control-board fault.
- Induction zone dead: a failed coil or the power board behind it.
- Loud convection: a fan motor bearing worn with age.
Typical Causes
On gas ranges, ignition and gas flow account for most complaints. The spark igniter fires a visible spark; if gas is present and clean the burner lights instantly, so persistent clicking points to a fouled cap, a wet port after a spill, or a spark module that has weakened. In the oven, gas models rely on a bake igniter that must glow hot enough to open the safety gas valve. As that igniter ages it draws less current, the valve opens slowly or not at all, and the oven struggles to heat. Electric and dual-fuel ovens instead lean on the temperature sensor, which drifts over time and skews every bake.
Brands We Service
We repair ranges from Wolf, Viking, Thermador, La Cornue, Dacor, Monogram, Jenn-Air, and KitchenAid. Wolf gas and dual-fuel ranges are our specialty.
Fault Reference
| Symptom | Likely Cause | What We Do |
|---|---|---|
| Clicks, no flame | Spark module or cap | Clean and re-seat, replace the spark module |
| Oven runs cold | Weak bake igniter | Test current draw, replace the igniter |
| Oven overshoots | Sensor drift | Replace the sensor and recalibrate |
| Induction zone dead | Coil or power board | Diagnose and replace the failed component |
| Loud convection | Fan bearing | Replace the convection fan motor |
