Same-day stove repair in San Diego when you call before noon, with the $90 service call credited to the repair and a 90-day parts and labor warranty. Burner won’t light, a glass-top zone stays cold, or the oven under the cooktop won’t bake? We handle gas and electric stove repair and range repair for the whole appliance, induction included, with Samsung, LG, GE, Whirlpool and Frigidaire parts on the van.
(619) 330-5105
In a San Diego kitchen, “the stove” is the whole appliance: burners on top and an oven underneath, sharing one gas line or power cord and, on electronic models, one control board. So stove repair here always looks at both halves. Gas stoves fail at the spark igniters, burner caps and the small orifices that meter gas, and in the oven at the hot-surface bake igniter. Electric stoves use plug-in coils with infinite switches or radiant elements sealed under a glass top, plus bake and broil elements below. Induction stoves heat the pan through a driver board and a pan-detection coil. On gas calls we read supply pressure with a manometer before blaming a valve or an igniter.
Spark Appliance Repair is family-owned and has worked out of Spring Valley (2637 Summitview Ln) since 2016. We fix freestanding, slide-in and dual-fuel ranges, coil and glass-top electrics, and induction models across San Diego County. Each visit starts with a $90 service call that comes off the bill once you approve the repair, and the part we install plus our labor are covered for 90 days. Spark is registered with the California Bureau of Household Goods and Services (#C 62399) and insured. Igniters, coil and radiant elements, infinite switches and oven bake igniters ride on the van, so most single-part jobs close on the first visit. Call (619) 330-5105 or book online.
Six commitments, in the order you will notice them:
Morning calls are usually on that day’s schedule. A gas smell, or a range with no burner and no oven working, goes ahead of a single dead burner.
You get a text with the window, not an all-day wait. Seven days a week, from our Spring Valley shop.
Supply pressure on a manometer, a blue cone on every burner, and leak solution on any fitting we loosened before the panels go back on.
Part and labor are priced in writing before anything is ordered or installed. Say no, and you pay only the service call.
Spark modules, burner caps, coils, radiant elements, switches and bake igniters are stocked, so a typical fix takes one 60- to 90-minute visit.
If the part we replaced fails the same way inside the warranty, the trip and the labor are on us.
Clicks, no flame. The electrode is cracked or dirty, the ports are clogged, or the spark module has weakened. We clean and re-gap the electrode, clear the ports and check the arc at every burner. Igniter or cap work runs $150 to $250; a spark module $180 to $280.
Almost always moisture. A boil-over or a wet mop gets into a spark switch behind a knob and shorts it. Before we arrive, unplug the range or switch off its breaker and let it dry for a day. If it still clicks, we replace the switch, priced with igniter work at $150 to $250.
A healthy flame is a crisp blue cone. Yellow tips mean a partly blocked orifice, a cap knocked out of place, or the wrong orifice after a propane or natural gas change. Yellow flame leaves soot on pans. Cleaning and adjustment fall inside the $150 to $250 burner range.
It lights on high, then goes out at simmer. Dirty ports, a warped burner head or a low-flame setting on the valve that is too lean are the usual causes. We clean the head, then set the low flame per the maker’s procedure. A worn valve is replaced at $180 to $320.
A burned coil, a scorched receptacle or a failed switch. Swap the coil with a same-size neighbor: if the fault moves, it is the coil. We meter the coil, receptacle and switch, then replace what failed. Coil $150 to $230; switch $150 to $250.
The infinite switch has welded its contacts, so the element gets full power at every setting. Switch that burner off at the breaker until we arrive. We replace the switch at $150 to $250 and check the wiring for heat damage.
One cold zone is a radiant element or its switch. A crack is different: stop using the top, because spills can reach live parts underneath. Radiant elements run $180 to $360; a full glass panel is quoted by model.
On radiant glass tops the warning light is switched by a limiter on the element or by the control. If it stays lit on a cold top, those contacts have stuck. We find which one before replacing anything, usually inside the switch or element ranges above.
Beeps, flashes, shuts off. First check the pan: a magnet must stick firmly to its base. If every magnetic pan fails, the driver board or its power stage has failed. Driver boards run $200 to $380.
Strong smell or hissing? Leave the house and call SDG&E’s 24-hour gas line, 1-800-411-SDGE, or 911, from outside. Once the utility clears it, we find the leaking valve, fitting or connector on the stove and leak-test after repair. Valve or fitting work $180 to $320.
Stripped knob shafts, a touch pad that misses presses, or a blank display with power present. We test the input to the board before condemning it. Knob sets and surface controls run $220 to $380.
The cooktop is fine but nothing bakes. That narrows the fault to the oven half: bake igniter, bake element, sensor or the shared board. See the oven section below for how we split it.
Because the oven shares a cabinet, a fuel supply and often a board with the burners, what the cooktop is doing tells us where to look first. Five range-specific faults we sort out on stove calls:
On a gas range, working burners prove gas is reaching the stove, so a cold oven points past the supply to the bake igniter or the oven valve. On an electric range it points to the bake element or its relay. Bake igniter $220 to $380; bake element $220 to $320.
A gas oven that crawls to temperature usually has a bake igniter too weak to open the valve on time. LG ranges show F9 when the oven fails to heat up; our LG oven F9 guide covers the tests by range type.
On a range the lock motor sits between the oven roof and the cooktop. Once the oven is cool, switch the breaker off for a few minutes and back on, once. If the door stays locked, do not pry it. Lock motor $180 to $280.
When results drift, the oven temperature sensor is the usual suspect. We read it against the value for your model instead of guessing. Sensor $180 to $280.
On touch-control ranges one board runs the oven and the cooktop zones. A surge or a self-clean cycle can take out both at once. We confirm power in and out before replacing a $380 to $520 board.
Oven-only problems on wall ovens, double ovens, convection fans and door glass are covered in our full oven repair guide.
Parts plus labor for the stove repairs we do most, cooktop first, then the oven half of a range. Burner-side fixes mostly land between $150 and $380; oven-side parts run a little higher. The $90 service call is subtracted from whichever repair you approve.

Most San Diego kitchens have a 30-inch mass-market range, so those brands come first. Layout matters as much as brand: it decides how we reach the part.
Samsung, LG, GE, Whirlpool, Frigidaire stove repair, Maytag, Amana and Hotpoint. Gas stove repair usually starts at the burner: sealed burners lift off for access to the electrodes; the bake igniter and oven valve are reached from the oven floor or the back panel.
Samsung, LG, GE, Whirlpool, Frigidaire, Kenmore and Amana. Coil tops lift on a hinge; glass tops come off as one panel, so a radiant element or switch swap is a careful lift, not a teardown.
Range repair follows the same steps as stove repair; only access changes. Slide-in ranges from KitchenAid, GE, Samsung and LG sit flush with the counter, so most work happens from the front or with the range pulled on protected floors. Dual-fuel ranges pair a gas top with an electric oven: two systems, a gas line and a 240-volt circuit, and we test each separately.
Read us the model number when you book and we load the right parts before we leave. On most ranges it is on a label inside the storage drawer or on the oven frame behind the door. A few common examples, and what we check first on each layout:
| Brand · model | Type · parts we check first |
| Samsung NX60A6111SS | Gas, freestanding, griddle · Burner electrodes, spark module, oven bake igniter |
| Samsung NE63T8111SS | Electric slide-in, glass top · Radiant elements, touch controls |
| LG LRGL5823S | Gas, freestanding, convection · Electrodes, bake igniter, F9 heat-up checks |
| LG LREL6323S | Electric, glass top · Radiant elements, bake element |
| GE JGBS66REKSS | Gas, freestanding, griddle · Spark switches, burner heads, bake igniter |
| GE JB645RKSS | Electric, glass top · Infinite switches, radiant elements |
| Whirlpool WFG505M0BS | Gas, five sealed burners · Electrodes, simmer settings, bake igniter |
| Whirlpool WFE505W0JS | Electric, glass top · Radiant elements, hot-surface light |
| Frigidaire FFGF3054TS | Gas, freestanding · Spark module, burner caps, bake igniter |
| Frigidaire FCRE3052AS | Electric, glass top · Radiant elements, bake element |
From the first call to the last burner test:
Tell us the brand, gas or electric, and whether the burners, the oven or both are down. We confirm a two-hour window by text.
Every burner lit or powered, the oven brought up to heat, gas pressure read on gas models, switches and elements metered on electric ones.
A written quote for the part and labor. Approve it and the repair usually happens right then from van stock.
Glass tops, induction boards and pro-range parts are ordered by model and typically arrive in one to two business days for a short second visit.

Yes. A range is one appliance, so every stove visit covers both halves: the burners on top and the oven underneath. Bake igniters, bake and broil elements, oven temperature sensors, self-clean lock motors and the control board that runs both halves are all part of the job. Separate wall ovens and double ovens are serviced too.
The spark is reaching the wrong place or not reaching the gas. The usual causes are a wet or cracked electrode, a burner cap sitting off-center, or burner ports packed with boiled-over food. If the clicking goes on with every knob off, a spark switch behind one knob has shorted, often after a spill or a wet mop. We dry, clean and re-seat first, then test the switch and the spark module.
The infinite switch behind that knob controls how often the element cycles. When its contacts weld together, the burner gets full power no matter where the knob is set. Turn that burner off at the breaker until we arrive. We confirm the switch with a meter, replace it, and check that the element and its wiring were not overheated.
On a coil stove, a single cold burner is a burned-out coil, a scorched receptacle the coil plugs into, or a failed switch. Swapping the coil with a neighbor of the same size tells you which: if the problem moves, it is the coil. On a glass top, the radiant element under the glass or its switch has failed, and we test both before ordering a part.
A brief whiff while a burner lights is normal. A smell that lingers, a smell with the stove off, or a hissing sound is not. Do not touch light switches or the stove. Leave the house and call the SDG&E 24-hour gas line, 1-800-411-SDGE, or 911, from outside. Once the utility has made it safe, call us to find and repair the leaking valve or fitting on the stove.
Usually a little. A coil element plugs in and runs $150 to $230 installed, while a radiant element sealed under a glass top runs $180 to $360 because the top has to be lifted off as one panel. Gas burner work such as igniters and caps runs $150 to $250, and an induction driver board $200 to $380. A cracked glass panel is the expensive exception and is quoted by model number.
On a stove, the deciding parts are the glass top and the control board. A single igniter, coil, switch or element costs $150 to $380 and is almost always worth fixing. When a cracked glass panel and a failed board land on the same range, the two together approach the price of a new mid-range freestanding stove, about $700 to $1,500, and replacement is usually the better buy. On a range past 15 years we also check that the parts are still made before quoting, and we price both options so you can choose.
Yes. A range and a stove are the same appliance, so range repair is part of every stove call: freestanding, slide-in and front-control layouts, plus dual-fuel ranges with a gas top and an electric oven, where we test the gas side and the 240-volt side separately.
Gas, electric coil, glass top, induction and dual-fuel ranges from Samsung, LG, GE, Whirlpool, Frigidaire, Maytag, Kenmore, Amana and KitchenAid, plus Wolf, Viking, Thermador and Bosch. Freestanding, slide-in and front-control models are all covered.
A single-part repair such as an igniter, a coil element, a switch or a bake igniter usually takes 60 to 90 minutes, because those parts ride on the van. Glass tops, induction boards and parts for pro-style ranges are ordered by model number and typically arrive in one to two business days, then installed on a second visit. Calls in before noon are usually seen the same day.
