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.

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.
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. The diagnostic visit is $75 for a single appliance 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. Typical price ranges by appliance are in our appliance repair cost guide.
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.
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.
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.
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.
