Stove Repair in Winnetka

One Chilly Evening in Oak Park...

...Ms. Lee's stove burners clicked but never lit, just as she was about to cook dinner. She called DTSOL Appliance Repair & HVAC, and our tech sped over from Skokie. We cleaned a clogged electrode, adjusted the gas valve, and by the time she preheated, her pasta water was boiling. That's Stove Repair done right across Chicago & suburbs-fast, friendly, and local.

Common Symptoms of Stove Trouble

• Burners Won't Light - You turn the knob and hear clicks, but no flame. Often a dirty or misaligned spark electrode. In Evanston, food spills clog the ignition ports fast.
• Uneven or Weak Flame - Flames are low, yellow, or flicker. A bad regulator or gas valve causes that. One Downtown condo had a half-strength flame-fixed with a valve adjustment.
• Clicking Sound Continues - If clicking never stops, the igniter switch may be stuck closed. In Lakeview, humid kitchens let moisture gum up the switch.
• Oven Burner Not Heating - Your oven top works but the lower burner stays cold. That usually means a bad bake igniter or safety valve. We see that often in Northbrook homes with older models.

How We Diagnose Your Stove

• 1. Inspect Igniters and Electrodes - We pop off burner caps, look for food debris or corrosion. A quick clean or reposition often restores spark.
• 2. Test Gas Valves and Regulators - Using a manometer, we check gas pressure at the valve. If it's low or inconsistent, we swap the regulator.
• 3. Examine Safety and Flame Sensors - Ovens and self-clean cycles rely on sensors. We test continuity with a multimeter and replace failing sensors.
• 4. Check Control Switches and Wiring - Knobs hide switches that can wear out. We test each switch and look for loose wires behind the panel.

Typical Repairs We Perform

• Igniter and Electrode Cleaning or Replacement - A quick clean often fixes it. If the electrode is pitted, we replace it on the spot. I think swapping worn electrodes every 2 years is worth it.
• Gas Valve or Regulator Swap - We carry common gas valves and regulators for Skokie and North Side calls. A bad valve gets swapped in minutes.
• Sensor and Thermocouple Fixes - Oven thermocouples wear down. We test and replace them, restoring reliable heat in Oak Park kitchens.
• Control Switch Repair - We replace faulty knob switches so clicking stops when the burner lights. No more endless sparking.
• Burner Head and Orifice Cleaning - Clogged burner ports mean bad flame. We clean with a wire brush and compressed air-bright blue flames again.
• Control Board and Timer Module - Electronic stoves use boards-when they glitch, we reflow solder or swap boards, so your timer works again.

Preventive Tips (Keep Your Stove Working)

• Wipe up spills immediately-don't let sugar or grease harden on burners.
• Clean burner ports monthly with a small brush to keep sparks strong.
• Check knobs for looseness-replace cracked knobs to protect switches.
• Ventilate well-use range hood to clear moisture and heat.
• Test igniters every few months-listen for weak clicks and clean as needed.
