A Seven Corners request listed on this page was a Viking range that needed every burner and oven igniter replaced. On pro-style ranges the igniters wear at about the same rate, so when two or three start failing, the rest usually aren't far behind. Doing them together can save a second visit.
When a burner won't light, lift off the cap and head before calling, clean the ports with a pin or stiff brush, and make sure the cap sits flat when it goes back. A cap that's slightly off center is enough to stop a burner from lighting.
Plenty of older kitchens here still cook on electric coils. On a coil range, an element stuck on high has a failed infinite switch, and a dead burner is either the coil or a burned receptacle. Try a coil you know works. If it still won't heat, the receptacle or the switch is the problem.
Gas in Falls Church comes from Washington Gas. If you smell gas, don't touch the knobs or light switches. Get everyone outside and call them or 911 from there.

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.
Online stove repair requests from the Falls Church area have been for burners not lighting. 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.
Clean the burner ports with a pin, dry the burner completely and seat the cap flat. If it still won't light, the igniter may be cracked or the spark module may be failing. We test both.
On pro-style ranges with several igniters of the same age, it often makes sense, since they wear at similar rates. We test each one and give you the choice.
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.
