Alexandria notes
Alexandria stoves, gas and electric
An Old Town GE, in the requests shown here, had gas burners that wouldn't light. A worn igniter, the spark module, a misaligned cap or clogged ports is the usual cause, and when several burners fail together, the module is the first suspect.
A GE elsewhere in Alexandria had an electric burner that stayed on after the knob was turned off. That's a failed infinite switch, and the range should stay off at the breaker until it's replaced.
A KitchenAid in Del Ray gave off a slightly strange smell from the oven and the burners. Any smell that might be gas, even a faint one, is a reason to leave the house and call Washington Gas or 911 from outside. A leaking regulator, connection or valve can be repaired once the gas company has made it safe.
Many Old Town and Del Ray houses cook on gas, and the valves, igniters and switches on those ranges are mostly standard, replaceable parts.
Alexandria cooktops
Alexandria cooktops in remodeled kitchens
A separate cooktop in an Alexandria house usually marks a remodel: a kitchen opened up, an island added, the burners moved to face the room. Because the counter was cut for that cooktop, repair is usually easier than finding a replacement that fits.
The GE Profile from Lincolnia, in the requests listed here, was a built-in gas model that stopped working. On a gas cooktop that goes completely silent, the spark module, the igniters, the igniter switches or the gas valve is where we look.
Some cooktops here are high-end gas models with sealed burners and heavy grates. Their igniters sit close to the burner base, where boilovers collect, so a burner that won't light after a spill often just needs to dry out.
Induction cooktops are appearing in newer remodels and condo kitchens. They need magnetic pans and clear airflow underneath, and most of their faults show up as an error code.

Frequently asked questions
Stove, Range and Cooktop Repair in Alexandria, VA FAQ
Can someone come fix my stove or cooktop today in Alexandria?
We're based in Alexandria, so most of our routes start nearby. Same-day and next-day appointments are available when the technician route has open windows; call or book online for the earliest option. Appointments cost the same on weekdays, evenings and weekends - our hours run 8 AM to 10 PM Monday through Saturday and 10 AM to 10 PM on Sunday, all at one standard rate.
Many stove repairs are completed in a single visit once the technician has diagnosed the fault and confirmed the parts on hand. If a specific part has to be ordered, we schedule a short return visit to finish the job.
How much does it cost to fix a stove or cooktop in Alexandria?
Appliance Surgeon charges $75 for the diagnostic visit, or $115 for a double unit (such as a double wall oven, washer-dryer combo or stacked laundry), and the fee is credited toward the repair if you approve the quote. Labor starts at $200 and stays there on about 9 in 10 repairs; more complex jobs can reach $450. Parts are extra and listed in the quote. Igniters, spark switches and burner elements are usually quick, economical fixes; gas valves and smooth-top control panels cost more. Diagnosis names the part, the quote comes before the repair, and a burner stuck on high is always treated as urgent. Typical price ranges by appliance are in our appliance repair cost guide.
What stove and cooktop problems do you fix in Alexandria?
Online stove repair requests from the Alexandria area are most often for gas smells, burners not lighting and nonstop clicking. Common calls include burner not lighting, weak flame, electric burner not heating, clicking igniter, control knob problems and uneven heat. The exact cause is confirmed during diagnosis. On cooktops, common calls include cooktop not heating, burner not igniting, induction error code, cracked glass concern, weak burner output and switch failure.
Can I use the other burners while one won't shut off?
It's better not to. Keep the range off at the breaker until the stuck burner's switch is replaced, since turning the power back on for the others brings the stuck one back on too.
Is it worth repairing an older gas range?
Often. Igniters, switches, valves and thermostats for older gas ranges are usually available and reasonably priced. A cracked oven bottom or a failed control board on a discontinued range is where we'd talk about replacement.
My gas cooktop's flames are weak on every burner. What's wrong?
When every burner is weak, the problem is upstream of the burners: the regulator, a supply valve that isn't fully open, or low gas pressure. If only one burner is weak, its orifice or valve is the likely cause. If you smell gas, leave the house and call from outside.
Do you repair built-in gas cooktops?
We do, including GE Profile, Wolf, Thermador and other built-in models. Tell us the brand and model number when you book so we can bring the right igniters or module.
Should I try to fix the stove or cooktop myself first?
You can safely check that the burner caps sit correctly, the igniter area is clean and dry, and the breaker is on. Anything involving gas valves or internal wiring should wait for a technician - and a burner stuck on high should be treated as urgent, not tinkered with. On an induction cooktop, also make sure the cookware is induction-compatible; that alone explains many dead zones.
