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.

My glass-top stove in Mooresville has one element that will not heat. Is it the element?

Often, but the switch or a limiter can cause the same symptom. We test each to find the failed part. The price is given before we replace anything.

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.

Everyday stoves, town and lake

In the older neighborhoods near downtown Mooresville, coil-element and glass-top electric stoves are common, while many newer subdivisions have gas. Electric burners that heat only on high or not at all usually point to an infinite switch or element, and glass tops can lose a single radiant element. Gas burners that click without lighting often have spill residue or moisture on the igniter.

With the stove cool and off, reseat elements and burner caps. Dry igniters after a boilover. If you smell gas, turn off the burners, leave and call the gas utility or 911 from outside. Rental homes on the lake often see heavier use, so a stove that worked last month may need attention now.

The technician tests switches, elements, igniters and spark modules, gives you the diagnosis and price, and explains whether repair is worth it on an older stove. We work on all major brands, from basic builder models to higher-end freestanding stoves.
