A burner that clicks and clicks but never catches. A coil that stays cold while the pot sits there waiting. A glass cooktop with one dead zone, right where you always cook. When the stove quits, the whole kitchen slows down, and takeout gets old fast.
Eddie’s Appliance Repair is a family business in Brentwood, and we have repaired stoves, ranges, and cooktops across Suffolk County and parts of Nassau County since 2009. Whether you say stove or range, we mean the same thing: the unit with burners on top and an oven below. A cooktop is the surface built into your counter on its own. This page covers the cooking surface and the range as a whole, gas or electric. Call 631-431-0849 for a two-hour window, often the same day.
Gas Burner Not Lighting? Stove and Cooktop Problems We Fix
Here are the problems that bring us into Long Island kitchens most often.
- Gas burner clicks but will not light: The igniter sparks over and over and the flame never catches, or it keeps clicking after the burner is lit.
- Weak, yellow, or uneven flame: The flame is low on one side, lifts off the burner, or goes out on simmer.
- Electric coil burner will not heat: A coil stays cold, only gets warm, or heats only on high.
- Glass cooktop element stays dark: A radiant element under the glass never glows, or glows and shuts right off.
- Induction cooktop will not respond: It does not recognize the pan, shows an error, or shuts off during cooking.
- Knobs and controls: A knob that spins without doing anything, or a touch panel that ignores you.
- Sparking, tripping, or shutting off: A burner that arcs, a range that trips the breaker, or a unit that powers down mid-meal.
If you smell gas at any point, leave the home and call your gas utility from outside before you call us. If a burner is sparking or smoking, turn it off and stop using the range until we have looked at it.
What Our Technician Checks on a Stove or Cooktop Visit
The same symptom can come from several different parts, so our technician finds the cause first and quotes second, and you know what is wrong and what it costs before anything is replaced.
On a gas stove or cooktop, a burner that clicks without lighting usually comes down to the spark igniter, the spark module, or a burner head that is not seated right, while one that keeps clicking after it lights often points to a spark switch or moisture in the assembly. Our technician tests the igniters and module, checks the burner heads, and looks at flame quality on every burner, not just the one you called about.
On an electric range or cooktop, a cold coil means checking the element, the receptacle it plugs into, and the infinite switch behind the knob. Under a glass cooktop, we test the radiant elements, the limiter that cycles them, and the touch control board. On induction models, we check the power board and the sensors that detect your cookware. We also look at the terminal block and wiring, because loose connections cause a surprising share of dead-burner calls.
After the diagnosis you get a clear quote. Many stove repairs take about 20 to 30 minutes once the cause is found, though a glass top or an older control board may need to be ordered.
Ranges, Stoves, and Cooktops: What We Service
We service freestanding, slide-in, and drop-in ranges in gas, electric, and dual-fuel versions, plus standalone gas, electric coil, radiant glass, and induction cooktops built into a counter or island.
Because a range is one appliance with two jobs, we look at all of it. When the burners are fine but the oven below is not heating or holding temperature, our oven and wall oven repair page explains what we check inside the cavity. If both halves are acting up, say so when you call and our technician will handle everything in one visit.
