Stove Repair in University City

Coil-burner electric stoves are still common in the older homes on University City's southern side and in budget rental houses around campus. They are durable and inexpensive to fix, which makes repair the sensible choice in most cases. Typical faults include a burner that heats only on high, a coil that sparks at its connection, a receptacle block that has burned, and drip pans so caked that burners will not sit level.

Gas stoves turn up too, mostly in owner-occupied homes, where weak igniters and burner ports clogged with spills are the usual complaints. A burner cap that sits crooked after cleaning can also cause an uneven or lifting flame. If you smell gas at any point, leave the house and call the gas utility or 911 from outside.

Turn off the breaker before unplugging a coil to inspect it. Swapping a suspect coil into a working socket of the same size is a safe test: if the problem follows the coil, the coil is bad, and if it stays, the socket or switch is. We test switches, receptacles and wiring and quote first.
