On the route · Hanahan
The rest of the lineup.
Same $99 diagnostic, same written quote, same written warranty on every machine we fix in Hanahan.
The igniter has been clicking under the front burner since Tuesday. The oven says 350 and the thermometer says 290. One coil on the range glows, the other three do nothing. Those are the calls that bring the van up Rivers Ave to Hanahan, where the technician meters the range, names the failed part, and writes one price.

Same $99 diagnostic, same written quote, same written warranty on every machine we fix in Hanahan.
The call usually starts the same way. Someone in Tanner Plantation preheated the oven for a roast, came back forty minutes later, and found it barely warm. Or a gas range off Hanahan Rd began clicking on its own at two in the morning and will not stop. Or the glass-top in an Eagle Landing kitchen shows an error and refuses every burner at once. None of those are mysteries. A bake element, a glow-bar igniter, a spark module, a surface element switch: each one tests with a meter and each one has a plain name. The van reaches Hanahan from W Montague Ave in ten minutes, up Rivers or across Remount Rd.
Hanahan's kitchens split by era, and so do the failures. The 1960s ranches around Yeamans Hall and Otranto often still have coil-top electric ranges and a few original gas stoves converted from standing pilots to spark ignition; those fail at the surface switch, the receptacle under a coil, or the bake element. The 2000s subdivisions got glass-top electric ranges from the builder, and those fail at the radiant element, the infinite switch and, more often each year, the electronic oven control. A typical scene: the same Frigidaire glass-top went into a whole Tanner Plantation street, and in one summer three of them stopped heating the oven while the top kept working.
Electric: the bake element has opened, or the relay on the oven control is stuck. Gas: the igniter glows but never draws enough current to open the safety valve. We meter the element or igniter, check the control output, and quote the one that failed. Most of these are same-visit repairs.
A wet or cracked igniter, a clogged burner port, or a spark module firing every electrode at once. We dry and clean the burner head, test the igniter and module, and check the switch that triggered the clicking. If it clicks at night with all knobs off, a switch is shorting and needs replacing.
Roasts take forever or cookies burn on one side. The temperature sensor has drifted, the control needs recalibration, or on gas ovens the igniter is weak and lights late. We measure actual temperature against the display over a full cycle and adjust or replace based on what the meter shows.
On a coil range it is the element, its receptacle or the infinite switch. On a glass-top it is the radiant element or the switch behind the knob. Each has a resistance value and a switch test, so there is no guessing. Cracked glass on a glass-top is a separate conversation we have on the spot.
Builder-package glass-tops in Tanner Plantation and Eagle Landing show codes for a stuck key, a bad sensor or a failing oven control. Before a control is blamed we test the sensor and the keypad ribbon, because a sensor is a common cause and the control often is not. Power at the outlet gets checked too.
Self-clean pushes an older oven to its hottest setting and can trip the thermal fuse or cook the door lock motor. We check the fuse, the lock, and the control, and tell you what failed. On ovens past a certain age we also tell you why skipping self-clean is a good habit.
The technician pulls the range forward, kills power or gas, and opens the back or the bottom panel depending on the machine. On an electric oven the bake and broil elements get a resistance reading and the sensor gets compared to a chart at room temperature. On a gas oven the igniter's current draw is measured while it glows, because a weak igniter is the most common reason an oven stays cold even when it looks like it is trying. Surface burners are tested at the switch and the element. Then the failed part is named in plain words on a written quote with one number, and nothing gets replaced until you approve it.
Hanahan ranges are mostly GE, Whirlpool, Frigidaire, Samsung, LG, Maytag and Kenmore, with KitchenAid and the occasional Bosch slide-in in a remodeled ranch. Landlords with duplexes off Remount Rd and rental houses toward Otranto get the same service the owner-occupied houses do: the tenant hosts the visit, the owner approves the written price by text and receives the invoice and written warranty. Joint Base Charleston families get the range fixed before the move-out inspection, with the date on the ticket. What you pay is set the same way on every street: the $99 diagnostic is inside the number you approve, and if you decline, $99 is the whole bill. Book online and up to $20 comes off the repair.
All three. Wall ovens in the newer Tanner Plantation and Eagle Landing kitchens, separate gas or electric cooktops, and freestanding ranges of every age. Wall ovens sometimes need to come out of the cabinet to reach the element or control, and the technician tells you that before starting so there are no surprises.
It is annoying rather than dangerous; the gas valves are closed, so only the spark module is working. The cause is usually a burner switch with moisture in it or a cracked igniter shorting to ground. Unplug the range if you can reach the outlet, and we will replace the shorted part on the visit.
Most Hanahan range calls get a same-week window and often the next business day, Monday to Saturday. The shop sits ten minutes away on W Montague Ave, so a Hanahan stop fits between North Charleston calls. Tell us the model and the symptom when you book and the likely parts ride along.
Usually. The coil ranges in Hanahan's 1960s ranches are simple machines with elements, switches and receptacles that still exist and still install in under an hour. The technician gives you the written number and you decide. If a control board on a newer range is the failure, the answer can be different, and we tell you either way.
Element, most of the time, on electric. The light and display run on the same power the element does, so a dead element with a live light is the classic pattern. On gas, the same symptom points at the igniter. The board gets blamed only after those two test good with the meter in hand.
Call (843) 969-4423 or send the form. Most requests get a callback within the hour in business time, with a real arrival window.
The technician tests the machine with a meter, names the failed part in plain words, and writes one flat price. The $99 is already inside it.
We stock the high-failure parts for the brands Lowcountry homes actually own, so most jobs close on the spot; ordered parts return with no second trip fee.
Full test cycle before we pack up, a tidy work area after, and a written warranty in your hand.
One call starts it: $99 diagnostic, written quote, repair from the van. Book online and up to $20 comes off the repair.
