It’s a frustrating moment for any home cook in Edmonton. You’ve planned out your meals for the busy week ahead, you go to preheat the oven for dinner, and… nothing happens. Or perhaps a burner on your cooktop refuses to ignite. A broken stove, or range, is the ultimate kitchen disruption, throwing your entire meal plan into chaos.

Your stove is the heart of your kitchen, and when it fails, you need a fast and reliable solution. At Fixnow Appliances, we specialize in getting your kitchen centerpiece back in working order. Here’s a look at common stove problems and how to decide on the best solution for your home.

Common Stove & Range Problems We Can Fix

Your all-in-one range has two main components—the cooktop and the oven—and both can experience issues. Our technicians are experts at diagnosing and repairing them all.

Cooktop Issues:

• Electric Burner Won’t Heat: This can be a simple fix like a bad burner element or a more complex issue with the switch or wiring.
• Gas Burner Won’t Ignite: Often caused by a dirty or faulty igniter, but can also point to a problem with the gas flow.
• Temperature Control is Inaccurate: If your elements are getting too hot or not hot enough, it’s likely a problem with the infinite switch.

Oven Issues:

• Oven Won’t Heat or Heats Poorly: This is the most common complaint, typically caused by a bad bake element or a failed igniter (on gas models).
• Bakes Unevenly: This frustrating problem can be due to a faulty temperature sensor, a bad convection fan, or a failing heating element.
• The Oven Door Won’t Close Properly: A bad hinge or a worn-out door gasket can let heat escape, affecting cooking times and energy efficiency.

Repair or Replace? Making the Smart Choice

When your main cooking appliance fails, you need a solution that makes sense for your budget.

When a Repair Makes Sense:

• The appliance is under 12-15 years old. Stoves are built to be workhorses. A repair on a unit that isn’t near the end of its typical lifespan is usually a good investment.
• The issue is a common part failure. Replacing a single heating element, igniter, or sensor is far more affordable than buying a whole new range.
• The rest of the appliance is in good shape. If it’s just one burner or the bake element that’s failed, a repair is the logical choice.

When to Think About Replacing:

If your stove is getting old, has multiple performance issues, or is facing a very expensive repair (like a cracked glass cooktop or a major electronic control board failure), it might be time for an upgrade. But that doesn’t have to mean a brand-new, top-of-the-line model.
