Sheet ST-01 · Stove repair · Flower Mound, TX
Glass cooktops that heat only partly, gas burners that will not simmer, a crack in the glass or a smell of gas. Our local technicians repair gas and electric ranges and cooktops in Flower Mound homes.
We repair gas ranges and cooktops but do not install or move gas lines. That work is done by a plumber licensed by the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners.
Sheet ST-02 · Common problems
These are four stove and cooktop problems we see often in Flower Mound kitchens, with the usual causes and one safe thing you can check before you call.
Many glass cooktops have dual or triple elements, so a zone that heats only in the center is a common fault.
The outer ring of a dual element can burn out while the inner one keeps working.
The switch that sends power to the outer ring can fail even when both rings are fine.
A safety limiter under the glass cycles the element off. A weak one cuts the heat too early.
Make sure you picked the large size setting for that zone, and try a flat-bottom pan that matches the ring size.
If the smell is strong or you hear hissing, leave the house first and call 911 or your gas company from outside. Do not switch lights or appliances on or off.
A burner that is slow to light lets a little gas out before it catches, so you smell it for a moment.
A loose fitting behind the range can leak. Finding and fixing it is work for a licensed plumber.
A worn valve can let gas through even with the knob off. We test and replace valves inside the range.
For a faint smell right after lighting, make sure the burner cap is seated and the burner lights within a few seconds. For any smell with all knobs off, leave and call 911.
A burner that goes out or runs too high on its lowest setting makes slow cooking hard.
The valve controls the low flame. When it wears, the low setting either flickers out or stays too high.
Ranges converted between natural gas and propane need matching orifices. The wrong one gives a flame that is too big or too weak.
Food in the small ports of the simmer burner makes the low flame uneven or lets it go out.
Let the grates cool, lift off the burner cap and check that it sits flat. Clear the ports gently with a straightened paper clip, not a toothpick.
A cracked glass cooktop should not be used. Spills can reach the elements and the wiring under the glass.
A dropped pot or jar can crack the glass, sometimes days before the crack spreads.
Cold water or a frozen pan on hot glass can crack it.
An element that runs too hot in one spot can stress the glass until it cracks.
If the crack runs through a cooking zone, turn the cooktop off at the breaker and do not use it until it is looked at.
If you smell gas near the stove, do not switch anything on or off. Get everyone outside, call 911 or your gas company from outside, and call us after the leak is handled. Gas line work is done by a plumber licensed by the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners.
