Superior Appliance Service
Oven quit working on old cheap stove. Wanted to replace it but money wasn't right. Called Mike and made an appointment to look at it. Turned out to be a bad igniter. Had part on truck and I was up and running within half hour. As far as I'm concerned, Mike is the man.

Arrived promptly, did the repair quickly and pleasantly, and also provided preliminary comments and advice on pros and cons of a contemplated full-scale stove restoration.

We were pleased with the prompt reply and completion of our oven repair. After being ignored for six weeks by the repair service recommended by the stove manufacturer, we looked at Angie’s List. We called 10X Repair Service and they immediately responded.

VIGILS APPLIANCE SERVICE
THE STOVE TOP VENT WAS SAID TO BE IN GOOD WORKING ORDER AND ALTHOUGH A PIECE OF THE SYSTEM HAD COME OFF (A PIECE OF MOLDING), I WAS TOLD THAT IT DIDN'T MATTER AND IT DID NOT NEED ANY FIXING. THE VENT TODAY DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY AND IS OVERLY LOUD. THE DISPLAY PANEL ON THE OVEN DIMMED AND EVENTUALLY WENT OUT. UPON INSPECTION BY VIGIL APPLIANCE, I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE OVEN, TOO EXPENSIVE TO FIX, AND THAT I SHOULD GO BUY A NEW OVEN. I WAS TOLD THAT WAS THE CHEAPEST OPTION. I PRICED A NEW OVEN (DOUBLE BUILT IN; $2500.00). I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER DIRECTLY, BOUGHT THE NEW PANEL FROM A LOCAL DISTRIBUTOR FOR $125 AND INSTALLED IT MYSELF. THE OVEN AND DISPLAY PANEL ARE IN PERFECT WORKING ORDER.

APPLE STOVES
DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY. I purchased an O'keefe and Merritt double oven stove from Apple Stoves. After reviewing their web site I paid a $4000.00 deposit for the recondition/refurbishment of the stove. After 2 1/2 months the product that was promised was sorely lacking. I took the stove to another antique stove repair and had them correct what Apple was supposed to do. The difference in service and pride in workmanship is unbelievable. Old insulation was left in, wiring was a tangled mess, they never cleaned years of grease off of the frame as their web site claimed. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE

My oven made long, screeching sounds that went on and on. It wasn't even on. After an inspection, it was decided to cut the wires for "Self Cleaning" and the timing gizmo to see if that would do it. I was advised to turn off the circuit breakers to the stove. Those things didn't work anyway and it did the trick!

LEE'S APPLIANCE
came on time, neat, knew the problem and ordered parts came in a timely manner. John was very professional
- Eva C.
C & A Brown Co
Our oven had quit working a few months after buying our house. After spending nearly $1000 with another company, only to have the stove stop working after a single use, I contacted C&A Brown. We found a mutual time to inspect the device within a week - and he explained each each step he was doing (I had told him about my prior experience). We identified the part, sourced it, and had a working stove 2 weeks later! C&A was professional about their scheduling and their work.

Steve's Appliance Service
First off, Steve is a professional and we have had him repair several appliances to date. He is just fantastic, he gave me tips on how to maintenance my appliances, what to watch for in the future, and weather it is worth it to fix an appliance or get a new one. This time, he suggested a new appliance, cause the repairs would be significant on the broken electric range. He sent me to an appliance store that I hadn't heard of and they gave me a fantastic price on the new range that Steve suggested. Thanks Steve!

C & A Brown Co
Very good experience. Scheduling was easy and quick, and Rich was able to diagnose the problems with my stove pretty quickly. I had one burner that would not ignite when the knob was turned (but would ignite if other knobs were set to lite); the problem was a fault in the wiring from the knob to the ignition switch (it was the most-used burner). The solution was to replace the wiring harness that connects the knobs. Rich knew exactly what part to get, and was able to pick it up in SF the next day, and return to install it the day after (he didn't have that particular part in his truck, my stove is a bit older). FYI, part cost was about $81 for the whole harness, you can't just replace for one knob on this model. My oven had also been running cool, and not coming up to temperature quickly. RIch was very helpful and explained the way that the stove really worked (most of them do not come up to full temperature by the time the "preheat" signal goes off- it doesn't matter much for a casserole, but for baking the difference can be noticeable). He used one of his oven thermometers to compare to the one I had been using to test, and reset the calibration of the stove via the electronic controls. He checked back the next day to see if the oven seemed to be working more as expected- it does seem to be much closer to the set temperature. It is clear that Rich is an expert in repair- the rare person (nowadays) with enough experience to know how well the manufacturer-recommended repairs *really* work, and able to advise on simple maintenance that can head off much more expensive repairs later. I would recommend him without reservation.

Best One Home Appliance Service
Kim accommodated our schedule and agreed to come late in the day. He was able to quickly diagnose and fix the problem. He was professional and efficient and his charges were reasonable. He was knowledgeable about our oven, which is an unusual brand. We would definitely call him again for any future problems with our oven or stove.

HERB'S HOME APPLIANCE REPAIR
CAME OUT THE SATURDAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS -- OUR STOVE HAD DIED RIGHT BEFORE 19 PEOPLE WERE COMING OVER FOR CHRISTMAS. HERB CAME THAT AFTERNOON, AND WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE THAT THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL PANEL HAD FAILED AND WAS ABLE TO REPAIR IT. MOST OTHER REPAIRMEN WOULD HAVE REPLACED IT, BUT HE SAVED US AT LEAST $200 BY HAVING THE TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE TO FIX THE LOOSE CONNECTION.

H.A.R. (Hi Tech Appliance Repair)
Tony answered my first phone call and gave me an appointment the next afternoon. He offered to try to squeeze me in that day, but I told him that wasn't necessary. He called me within the 3 hour appointment window he had given me and said he might be a bit late and then called to tell me he was on his way. He fixed my oven problem, adjusted and cleaned the burners as well, and gave me some pointers on the pilot lights. He was very competent, clean, friendly, and informative. I thought his price was reasonable.

Sunny Appliance Repair
It needed a new control panel which is over $200. I was ok with that, but not the $285 in labor to install it. I ended up buying a new range. My dad and a friend also used them, labor was very high and in my friends case due to the quote bought a new washer. Now I wonder if everything is a control panel issue and if there is a cheaper fix. My stove was only 3 years old. I would ask up front what their hourly labor rate is.

ASIEN'S APPLIANCE
My tenant called to say that the oven did not light properly and they smelled gas when trying to operate the oven. I called Asien's after asking a friend in real estate if they could refer me to a reliable company for help. Asien's responded quickly and handled my call professionally. I was very satisfied with their service.

Bay Area Appliance
This is the second time we've had Bay Area Appliance come to work on our Viking stove. (It's a great stove to cook on, but it turns out to be high maintenance.) The repair person was knowledgeable and fast, both in diagnosing the problem and in swapping in the replacement parts. He also tidied up and bundled some wires underneath the oven floor, which might help to prevent future troubles. There was some delay in getting the parts, so we were without an oven for a week, but I think that may have been a supplier issue. Also, we had to wait a few days for the initial appointment, but this was still quicker than a few other places I called. The labor charge seems a little high and includes a $60 trip charge. Overall, the competence of the repair person and the ease of dealing with the company by phone made it worth it.

Our first piece of advice: do not attempt common oven repair work yourself.
Stoves are marvels of time-saving efficiency. When a stove breaks, your family suddenly has to rely on cold sandwiches and the kindness of strange eateries. Seek prompt, professional oven repair and say goodbye to expensive take-out meals.
Common Oven and Stove Problems
Most household ovens and stoves work off of 220-volt outlets, not the type most appliances use (120-volt). The increased voltage makes a stove a more electrically robust challenge for parts failure and repair.
Three common problems:
- Your electric stove will not heat — When calling a stove repair service, be specific: is only one burner not working, or do all of them refuse to heat?
- Your electric oven will not change heat — This is a control problem, in which an infinite switch that regulates electrical power levels is malfunctioning
- Your gas stove will not light — No click? Defective ignition switch; click and a smell of natural gas? The pilot light is out; no flame and no smell of gas? You may have a clogged valve
Which Parts Fail?
The control panel of a stove sleekly hides a myriad of wires, switches, relays and other parts, any one of which could go bad while the rest of the control board still works.
Besides the previously discussed ignition switch, infinite switch, and clogged gas valve, these parts are also prone to fail:
- Oven sensor — Your oven reliably baked cakes, but now the centers are gooey; your sensor is probably broken
- Oven no longer self-cleans — Your oven control board is faulty; bake/broil circuits are starved of voltage
- Spark modules, spark wires, spark electrodes — When your gas stove's burners will not light, these components are no longer working together
Costs of Oven Repair
Electricians and appliance repair services charge between $45 to $120 per hour for stove or ove repair (or similar kitchen appliances)
In addition, expect a site service charge (what you pay to have someone drive out) of $150 to $200 per visit.
This means a typical oven repair or stove troubleshooting job could cost from $1,000 to $1,200. Some homeowners may be tempted to tackle oven repair themselves, but Angie's List advises against this, since the risk of shock or a short in a 220-volt circuit is too great.
