Clicking that never lights. One burner low while the rest roar. A glass cooktop element that heats only on high. Spills work into igniters and switches, and grease under a burner cap changes the flame pattern from blue to lazy yellow. We clean, test, and replace igniters, valves, switches, and induction boards on gas and electric ranges throughout Santa Monica, including tight galley kitchens in older beach-side units. Smell gas? Shut the valve and call your utility first, then reach us. When you are ready, dial us or send the quote form.
Taking calls until 5:00 PM PT

We cover 90401, 90403 and 90405 in Santa Monica, plus nearby Pacific Palisades, Venice, Brentwood and Mar Vista.
Modern gas ranges need electricity for ignition and controls. After an outage, the board can lock up. Unplug the range for five minutes, then plug it back in. If burners still won't spark or the oven stays dark, the board or igniter module needs testing.
A brief whiff right at ignition can happen. A smell that lingers, or one you notice when nothing is on, is not normal. Shut the gas valve, open windows, leave, and call your gas utility first. Then call us for the repair.
The glass itself is replaced, not patched. Cracks let moisture reach the elements and wiring underneath, which causes shorts and nuisance shutoffs. We check whether the elements and limiters survived, since those often need attention at the same time.
On electric ranges, a weakening bake element or one failed leg of power slows heating badly. On gas, a tired igniter draws current but never reaches the temperature that opens the gas valve. Both are testable in one visit.
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.
