Cookies burnt on the bottom, raw in the middle. Ovens drift out of calibration, and a failing sensor or bake element makes it worse. We check the temperature probe, the igniter on gas models, door hinges, and the latch that keeps heat inside. A door seal flattened by years of Santa Monica dinner parties bleeds heat straight into the kitchen. Error codes, clicking relays, and a broiler that never lights all get tested, not guessed at. Give us the brand and the symptom, and we will bring likely parts. Call us or start the quote form.

We cover 90401, 90403 and 90405 in Santa Monica, plus nearby Pacific Palisades, Venice, Brentwood and Mar Vista.
Elements weaken before they fail outright, and sensors drift as they age. A crushed door gasket also lets heat leak from one corner. We measure sensor resistance cold, then watch the temperature swing through a full cycle to find which one shifted.
No. That is the most common mistaken assumption in gas ovens. The igniter must draw enough current to trip the safety valve open. It can glow bright and still fall short. We test amperage rather than judging by color.
If you smell gas, stop and shut the supply valve. If a burning smell or sparking is present, turn off the breaker. Uneven heating alone is not dangerous, though results will stay unpredictable until we correct it.
Sometimes. A wall oven often needs to be unmounted from the cabinet to reach the rear panel, and that takes care with the surrounding trim. We plan for it and protect your cabinetry and flooring while the unit is out.
Often the same day if you call in the morning. Afternoon and early evening slots fill first, so book ahead if you need one. Tell us the brand and what's going wrong, and we'll bring likely parts on the first visit.
Call us or fill out the form. Describe what you hear, smell or see. Odd noise, standing water, no heat. Have the model number handy if you can reach it.
Pick a window that fits your day. We confirm the address and ask a few questions first, so the van carries parts that commonly fail on your machine.
Our technician tests the machine, explains what failed, and lays out the repair options. Many jobs finish the same visit. Special-order parts get scheduled before we leave.
Ask these of anyone you let into your home — us included. Call and we'll answer all five before you book anything.
Describe the fault, approve the written quote, get it fixed. Starting takes about a minute.
