Common Stove Problems
Your stovetop is the workhorse of your kitchen - from morning coffee to family dinners, it sees daily use. When burners fail, flames weaken, or controls malfunction, cooking becomes frustrating or even dangerous. FixitBay LLC provides fast, professional stove repair throughout San Francisco, the Peninsula, and Marin County for all fuel types and brands - including pro-style Viking stove repair.
Our licensed technicians diagnose and repair gas stoves (including pilot light and electronic ignition systems), electric coil stoves, smooth-top ceramic stoves, and induction cooktops. We handle everything from simple igniter replacements to complex control board repairs. San Francisco's older homes often have unique gas line configurations - our techs are experienced with the specific challenges of Victorian and Edwardian kitchens.
Every repair starts with our $80 diagnostic, which is credited toward the final cost. We carry common parts for major brands and complete most repairs in a single visit. All work is backed by our 180-day warranty on parts and labor, with same- or next-day appointments available throughout the Bay Area.

Burners Won't Ignite
Failed igniters, clogged burner ports, or faulty spark modules prevent your stove burners from lighting. We diagnose ignition systems and restore reliable operation.
Weak or Uneven Flames
Yellow, weak, or flickering flames indicate clogged ports, incorrect air-to-gas ratio, or regulator problems. We clean and adjust burners for strong, even blue flames.
Gas Smell When Off
A gas odor when all burners are off signals a leaking valve, loose connection, or cracked gas line. This is a safety issue that requires immediate professional repair.
Electric Coils Not Heating
Burned-out coil elements, faulty receptacles, or wiring issues prevent electric stove burners from heating. We test circuits and replace defective components.
Knob or Control Issues
Broken, stuck, or loose control knobs make temperature adjustment impossible. We repair or replace knob assemblies, valve stems, and infinite switches.
Continuous Clicking
If igniters keep clicking after the burner is lit, moisture, debris, or a faulty spark module is the cause. We clean ignition components and replace faulty parts.
Surface Burner Overheating
Burners that won't regulate temperature can damage cookware and burn food. We repair infinite switches, thermostats, and control boards to restore precise heat control.
Glass Top Cracks
Cracked glass-ceramic surfaces on smooth-top stoves are safety hazards. We assess damage and provide replacement glass for all major stove brands.
Stove Repair vs. Replacement - How to Decide
Stoves are durable appliances. Most common failures are straightforward and affordable to repair.
Stoves have long lifespans. Single-component failures within 12 years are almost always worth repairing.
Replacing one burner component costs from $100 - a fraction of a new stove.
Gas valve replacements are expensive. On a very old stove, upgrading to a newer, safer model is often the best choice.
These are inexpensive replacement parts. No reason to replace the entire stove.
Our honest policy: If our diagnostic shows the repair isn't economically justified - we'll tell you before any work begins. No pressure, no hidden charges beyond the $80 diagnostic fee.
How We Diagnose and Fix Stoves
We test every suspect part
We inspect the burners, igniters, gas valves, elements, switches, and wiring connections. On gas stoves we run a full safety and leak inspection.
