Why does my Thor gas oven smell like gas for a moment when it starts?

A brief, faint smell at ignition can happen as gas reaches the burner, but if it lasts or grows stronger the ignition may be slow and letting gas build up. Turn the oven off. If the smell is strong, leave the house and call your gas utility or 911 from outside, then have the ignition tested.

Can you still find parts for the older electric stove in my Mount Pleasant farmhouse?

Often, since coil elements, receptacles and switches are widely available. Some model-specific parts are discontinued, and we will tell you if that is the case before you commit. The price is given before any work.

My propane stove in Midland lights on only two burners. What is wrong?

The other burners may have clogged ports, a damp igniter or a failed spark switch. Clean and dry the caps and try again. If they still will not light, we test the ignition system and quote the fix.

Thor Stoves: What We Check First

When most people call a Thor a stove, they mean the brand's all-gas freestanding range: sealed burners under heavy cast iron grates on top, and a gas oven below with a convection fan and a broiler. It is the model that built Thor's reputation, and its weak points are well known. The steel and cast iron rarely give trouble, while the ignition parts on both the cooktop and in the oven carry most of the wear.

Weak oven igniter delaying the gas safety valve opening
Oven lighting briefly and shutting off during preheat
Burner switches clicking after spills or boil-overs
Oven thermostat or sensor reading off from actual heat

The full explanation, including what you can safely check yourself and when repair beats replacement, is in our Thor stove repair guide.

Older stoves in rural kitchens

Some rural kitchens around Mount Pleasant have stoves that have been in service a long time, and many of those are straightforward to keep running. Coil elements, receptacles and infinite switches on electric stoves are common, affordable repairs. On propane stoves, worn igniters and burner ports clogged by spills are the usual faults, and a stove that has sat unused can collect dust and insects in the burner tubes.

With the stove off and cool, check that each element is seated firmly and each burner cap sits flat. Confirm the propane tank has fuel. Never adjust regulators or gas lines yourself; if you smell gas, get out and call your supplier or 911.

We test the components, give you the diagnosis and price, and tell you honestly when parts for an older model are no longer available. Midland visits are often easier to schedule; Mount Pleasant appointments may land on route days, and the model number helps us bring the right part.
