One burner clicks and never lights. Another sparks nonstop. A coil element glows dim and slow. Those are three separate faults: a fouled igniter, a shorted spark switch, moisture in the harness. On electric tops we check the element, the receptacle, and the infinite switch in that order. Southside cooktops included. Tell us which burner misbehaves, or describe it on the quote form.

We repair appliances in Southside and the 35901, 35903, 35904, 35905, 35906 and 35954 ZIPs, plus nearby Rainbow City, Glencoe, Gadsden and Attalla.
We measure current draw while the igniter glows. A weak igniter glows but never pulls enough amps to open the valve, so no gas arrives. That reading separates the two parts instead of guessing and replacing both.
Usually, yes. Many ranges allow a calibration offset through the control panel. If the drift is larger or wanders, we test the oven sensor's resistance cold and hot, since a drifting sensor feeds bad numbers to the board.
All three. Gas work involves igniters, valves, and burner assemblies. Electric means elements and infinite switches. Induction leans on coils, inverter boards, and cooling fans. We diagnose each one differently, since the failure families barely overlap.
Depends on the symptom. A dead electric coil is inconvenient, not dangerous. Clicking igniters, a gas smell, or a burner that lights late means unburned gas is collecting. Shut it off and call us instead of working around it.
Yes. If another shop gave you a diagnosis and it did not sit right, we will run our own checks and explain what we find, part by part.
Tell us what you hear, smell, or see. Grinding? Puddle? Blinking code? Small details narrow the list of likely causes before we ever pull the machine away from the wall.
A technician runs through a checklist: power, controls, sensors, motors, seals, drainage. We test instead of guessing, then walk you through the actual fault and your repair options.
Some faults are worth fixing today. Others mean the appliance is near the end. We tell you which is which, then complete the repair once you say go.
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.
