Cooking stops the moment a range starts acting up. A burner that won’t ignite, an oven that won’t heat or hold temperature, a control panel that freezes, an induction zone that won’t detect cookware, or a breaker that trips mid-preheat can turn everyday meals into a headache—fast. Home Makeover Experts provides professional range repair in Los Angeles, CA, focusing on accurate diagnostics, clear explanations, and repairs that bring your kitchen back to stable, safe cooking performance.
We service gas ranges, electric ranges, and induction ranges, including slide-in, freestanding, and drop-in models, plus many premium and built-in-style installations found in LA condos and high-rise kitchens. Whether you’re dealing with weak or uneven flames, constant clicking ignition, slow preheat, uneven baking, error codes, or temperature swings, we keep the visit organized and clean—protecting floors and cabinetry, and working smoothly within LA building realities like gated access, parking rules, elevators, and service windows.

Range Service Built for LA Kitchens
Ranges don’t fail in a vacuum—installation and daily use matter. In LA we see common patterns tied to tight cabinetry, heavy use, and occasional power events.
- Gas ranges: ignition and flame stability depend on clean burner paths and consistent operation from the ignition system and controls.
- Electric ranges: heating performance and cycling depend on healthy elements, sensors, and stable power.
- Induction ranges: sensitive electronics can act up after outages or repeated overheating in tight installs.
- High-rise / condo kitchens: access and ventilation limits can amplify heat issues and stress components.
If you smell gas or suspect a gas leak, treat it as urgent and get help immediately. After the home is safe, we can diagnose the appliance and restore normal operation.
Residential Range Repair That Keeps Cooking Reliable
A range issue is more than “one burner is out.” It can mean uneven baking, slow preheat, temperature drift, or controls that stop responding when the kitchen is busy. That’s why we focus on measured diagnostics and repeatable results, not quick guesses.
Home Makeover Experts works cleanly in lived-in kitchens—protecting floors, keeping the workspace organized, and verifying performance before we leave—so the range feels stable again during real everyday cooking.

What to Expect on the Visit
We keep the process clear and practical:
- Fast symptom check + model verification
You tell us what’s happening; we confirm the exact model so we test the right systems. - Targeted diagnostics
We evaluate ignition/heating behavior, temperature control, sensors, airflow (where applicable), and controls—then explain what’s failing in plain terms. - Options before work begins
You get a clear plan (and alternatives when available) before anything is replaced. - Validation before we close out
We confirm stable heating, proper cycling, and normal operation—so you’re not stuck with a “half fix.”
Common Range Problems We Fix
Below are common range issues we repair in Los Angeles. Each one includes what it usually means, why it happens, and how we fix it—so you know what to expect before service.
1) Burner won’t ignite / constant clicking (gas)
What it means: The igniter keeps clicking, ignition is delayed, the flame lights only after multiple tries, or one burner won’t light at all. You may also notice the burner lights unevenly or blows out when you turn it down.
Why it happens: Blocked burner ports or caps, moisture after cleaning, food spill buildup, a worn spark module/igniter, misalignment of the burner head, or a switch/connection issue that keeps the igniter firing.
How we fix it: We clean and re-seat burner caps/heads, clear ports, dry/restore the ignition path, test spark strength and ignition timing, and replace failed ignition parts when needed. Then we verify normal lighting on each setting—especially low flame stability.
2) Weak or uneven flame / inconsistent heat (gas)
What it means: Flame is small, yellow/orange, uneven around the burner ring, or doesn’t match the knob setting. Cooking feels inconsistent—one side of the pan heats differently, or boiling takes much longer than normal.
Why it happens: Clogged burner ports, burner head not seated correctly after cleaning, restricted airflow, a regulator/valve behavior issue, or a control problem that prevents consistent output.
How we fix it: We inspect and clean burner assemblies, correct seating/alignment, verify stable flame shape across settings, and confirm proper performance without flare-ups or dropouts. If a control/valve component is failing, we identify it precisely and correct it so heat output becomes predictable again.
3) Oven won’t heat / slow preheat
What it means: The oven struggles to reach the set temperature, preheats unusually slowly, or doesn’t heat at all. You might also see the oven start then stop, or the temperature climbs but never stabilizes.
Why it happens: Failed heating element (electric), sensor/thermostat drift, control issues, wiring problems, or internal faults that prevent consistent heating and cycling.
How we fix it: We test heat output, verify temperature sensor readings, check control signals and connections, and replace the failed heating/sensing component. Afterward, we confirm proper preheat time and stable cycling so the oven holds temperature during real cooking.
4) Oven temperature “off” / uneven baking
What it means: Food underbakes or overbakes at the expected time, browns unevenly, or you get hot/cool spots on the same rack. Some dishes come out inconsistent even when you follow the same recipe.
Why it happens: Sensor drift, calibration issues, convection fan/airflow problems, door seal leakage, or control behavior that causes temperature swings instead of steady cycling.
How we fix it: We measure actual temperatures, verify sensor accuracy, check airflow and convection performance, inspect door sealing, and calibrate when supported by the model. Then we validate stable heat distribution so baking feels predictable again (especially on multi-rack cooks).
5) Control panel not responding / display glitches / error codes
What it means: Buttons lag or stop responding, the display freezes, settings won’t save, or the range throws error codes and behaves “randomly” (heating inconsistently, shutting off, or refusing to start).
Why it happens: Control board faults, sensor feedback issues, loose connections, wiring problems, or power-event stress (after outages or repeated breaker trips). Sometimes heat buildup in tight installs can also aggravate control behavior.
How we fix it: We run model-specific diagnostics, verify wiring and input signals, check sensors and connection integrity, and isolate whether the issue is the control, a sensor path, or a power-related fault. Then we repair/replace the failed component and confirm stable operation—no intermittent button issues, no surprise shutoffs.
6) Induction zone not heating / shuts off mid-cook
What it means: A zone won’t detect cookware, heats for a moment then stops, or cuts out during cooking even though the settings look normal. You may see error messages or the unit may reduce power unexpectedly.
Why it happens: Cookware detection compatibility, overheating protection engaging (especially in tight installs), fan/cooling issues, power module problems, or control/sensor faults.
How we fix it: We confirm cookware detection behavior, test the zone under load, check cooling performance and airflow, and diagnose the electronics controlling power delivery. Then we correct the failed component so the zone heats consistently and holds output without dropouts.
7) Breaker trips / range loses power
What it means: The range shuts off, trips the breaker during preheat, or won’t power on consistently. This can happen only on certain functions (bake/broil) or when multiple burners are used.
Why it happens: A failing heating circuit/component, wiring or connection faults, internal shorts, or control issues that draw power incorrectly. (We avoid guesswork here—this needs proper isolation.)
How we fix it: We isolate which function/circuit triggers the trip, test components and connections safely, and identify the exact failure point. Then we repair or replace the component causing the overload and confirm stable operation without repeated breaker trips.
8) Door not closing right / heat escaping / hinges feel loose
What it means: The door doesn’t seal tight, you feel heat escaping, cooking times increase, or the oven struggles to maintain temperature. The door may sag, rub, or feel “soft” when closing.
Why it happens: Hinge wear, seal/gasket deterioration, alignment issues, or hardware loosening over time—especially with frequent use.
How we fix it: We inspect hinges and alignment, restore proper closing tension, replace seals when needed, and confirm heat retention. The result is better temperature stability, more even baking, and less heat loss into the kitchen.
