A burner that will not light, an oven that stalls at 250 and never reaches 350, an igniter that clicks in the dark after dinner. We repair gas and electric ranges, wall ovens, glass-top and coil cooktops across North Charleston and everything within about 35 minutes. The technician meters the part, writes one price, and fixes it from the van, most often the same visit.
Mon–Fri 8am–6pm · Sat 9am–3pm · same-day windows for a warm refrigerator
Same $99 diagnostic, same written quote, same written warranty on every machine we fix in North Charleston & the Charleston area.

Drive the route and the stoves change with the houses. A 1948 bungalow in Park Circle or Riverland Terrace usually has a freestanding electric coil range that has outlived two owners and now needs a bake element or an infinite switch. The 1990s and 2000s subdivisions off Dorchester Rd, in Tanner Plantation, Crowfield, Nexton and Carolina Bay were delivered with builder-grade glass-top electric ranges, and those fail on radiant elements, oven sensors and control boards in waves, street by street. Downtown, on Daniel Island and in the Old Village the kitchens moved to gas: slide-in ranges, Wolf and Thermador rangetops, Bosch and KitchenAid double wall ovens with electronic controls that hate a summer surge.
Gas or electric, the failures are consistent and the meter finds them. An electric oven that heats slowly or unevenly is a bake element reading open, a temperature sensor drifting out of spec, or a relay board sticking. A gas oven that clicks or glows but will not light is an igniter that has weakened past the point of pulling enough current to open the valve; it still glows, which is why people wait too long. A glass-top burner that is dead on one side is a radiant element or the switch behind it. Wall ovens in Mount Pleasant and West Ashley add a thermal fuse that trips after a self-clean cycle and leaves the whole oven dark.
Wet or crumb-fouled spark electrodes are the first check, then the spark module and the burner switch. If only one burner clicks endlessly and the others are fine, it is that position’s igniter or a cracked cap. If all of them click at once, the spark module or a wet switch is the cause. Metered and fixed on site.
Electric: a bake element with a visible break or one that meters open, or a sensor reading the wrong resistance at room temperature. Gas: an igniter that glows but draws too few amps to open the valve. We test the element, sensor or igniter against spec and replace only the piece that fails the test.
A coil burner that is dead is usually the coil or the receptacle beneath it; one stuck on high is the infinite switch. On a glass-top the radiant element or the switch is the same story, with the glass lifted to reach them. We carry both parts for the common Whirlpool, GE and Frigidaire ranges.
Self-clean runs the cavity past 800 degrees and many ovens have a thermal fuse or a door lock that trips in that heat. The result is a dark oven or a door that will not release. We reset or replace the fuse, check the lock motor and the cooling fan, and tell you plainly whether self-clean is worth using again.
The convection fan may have quit, the bake or broil element may be partially failed, or the sensor may sit outside spec. We run the oven with a probe thermometer, watch the cycling, and compare against the setpoint. Usually one part explains it, and the fix restores the even heat the recipe expects.
Range codes point at the sensor, the door lock, the relay board or the touch panel. After a storm the control board itself is the common casualty across the Lowcountry. We read the code, meter the sensor and lock first because they are cheap and frequent, and replace the board only if it is proven dead.
The diagnosis is measurement, not guesswork. On a gas oven the technician clamps an ammeter on the igniter circuit and watches the current climb; an igniter that never reaches the valve’s opening threshold is the fault, even though it glows orange. On an electric oven the bake and broil elements are metered for resistance and the sensor is checked at room temperature against the chart. Surface burners are tested at the switch and at the element. Wall ovens get the thermal fuse and door lock checked before anything else. When the failed part is confirmed, you hear its name in plain words and one written price. The $99 diagnostic is already inside that price, not added later.
Whirlpool, GE, Frigidaire, Samsung, LG, KitchenAid, Maytag, Kenmore, Bosch and Electrolux cover most kitchens from Ladson to James Island, and the van carries their elements, igniters, sensors, switches and spark modules. Wolf, Thermador, Viking, Miele and JennAir ranges and wall ovens in Mount Pleasant, on Daniel Island and downtown get the same process with the right parts ordered when needed and no second trip fee. Landlords turning over a unit in North Charleston or Goose Creek get the written quote by text and the invoice and written warranty by email. We are open Monday to Saturday, six days a week. Approve the quote and the $99 is inside it; decline and $99 is the whole bill. Book online and up to $20 comes off the repair.
Yes. Gas igniters, spark modules, valves, safety valves and burner assemblies are all part of the route, from Park Circle to Mount Pleasant. If you smell gas, leave the house and call the gas utility first, then call us once it is safe. A range that clicks or glows without lighting is not a gas leak, just a failing part.
On an electric oven a slow, weak heat usually is the bake element beginning to fail, or the sensor reporting the wrong temperature to the control. On gas it is an igniter that has aged past its rated current. Both are metered in minutes, both are common, and both are stocked for the brands most kitchens here own.
Yes. Wall ovens and separate cooktops are common in the newer kitchens in Nexton, Carolina Park and Daniel Island and in remodeled peninsula houses. The cooktop glass lifts to reach the radiant elements and switches; the wall oven slides out for the fuse, lock and board. Same visit, same written quote.
Usually. Elements, igniters, switches and sensors are inexpensive parts relative to a new range, and a working stove is a habitability item for a tenant. You get one written number by text before anything is done, and if you decide to replace instead, the $99 diagnostic is the only charge.
The self-clean cycle takes the cavity far hotter than baking, and the thermal fuse or the door lock on many ovens gives up in that heat. Sometimes the control board cooks too. We replace the fuse, check the lock and cooling fan, and tell you plainly whether self-clean is a good idea for that model.
