Common gas range malfunctions

• The burner fails to ignite or turn off. A common gas range malfunction is poor or no ignition of the gas burner. This fault can be caused by the usual clogging of the nozzle with food particles, cracked or broken insulation on the ignition plug, a broken solenoid valve, or a burned-out thermocouple. These breakdowns will be fixed by our Avanti Range Repair technicians.  If your stove is equipped with an automatic ignition, it is worth checking for current in the electrical system by plugging it into another outlet. 

• The burner goes out during operation. The most common cause is a clogged nozzle or a failed thermocouple. We have these parts in stock, and our Avanti Range Repair and Service technicians will replace them quickly when you contact us.

• The ignition does not work (no spark, does not click). The Avanti Range Repair technician will check to see if the ignition unit is burned out, if the contact on the ignition button is oxidized, or if there is no voltage in the mains supply.

• The burner does not turn on, or the gas burns weakly. If the flame on the gas burner burns sluggishly (has a small crown), the cause of the malfunction may be a clogged gas atomizer orifice. The burner should be spotless. The height of the flame depends directly on the amount of fuel and air supplied to the burner. Adjusting the air damper and cleaning the nozzle can correct the problem, but this work should be done by a specialized Avanti Range Repair and Service technician.

• Burner smokes. The cause is most likely due to a clogged burner, less likely due to an insufficient gas or air supply.

• The gas control knobs do not turn properly. This is mostly caused by grease sticking to the turning mechanisms (adjustment knob and plastic rings). Remove everything and wash with soapy water. To a lesser extent, this is due to a lack of grease inside the tap. You should disassemble the faulty faucet, clean out the old graphite grease, and apply new grease. Do not overdo the amount of grease, or the tap holes will eventually become clogged with excess grease.

• The range burner does not light, burns weakly, or cannot be adjusted.  If the range is equipped with a mains automatic ignition system, the range may not light due to a worn spark plug. The electric spark is traveling away from the burner. Turn off the kitchen light and press the ignition button. The range of a gas stove is a technically complex device, so we do not recommend troubleshooting the problem yourself, the best solution is to contact Avanti Range Repair. 

• Insufficient flame intensity, or the burner goes out spontaneously. This is due to a faulty gas supply pressure (if in all burners) or a broken nozzle (if in one burner).

• The burner switches off after releasing the knob. This is most likely a fault in the thermo-electromagnetic valve.

• Gas odor. The smell of gas during cooking, or when finished, indicates that the gas range requires maintenance. If you feel the presence of gas near the range or in the room where the cooking appliance is installed, immediately close the faucet on the downflow to the range, open the windows, and ventilate the room. Very often, during repairs, we notice that gas leaks are caused by poor quality connections.

All these and other breakdowns can be avoided if you follow the rules of operation, perform regular diagnostic inspections, and, if necessary, perform preventive repair of the gas range. 

When a breakdown does happen, contact our Oceanside Appliance Service Center company. They are professionals at what they do and will be sure to help you troubleshoot problems, answer questions, and advise you on how to avoid further malfunctions. 

The universal advice for any gas appliance breakdown is to shut off the gas supply to the malfunctioning appliance, contact an Avanti Range Repair and Service technician, and discuss the next steps.
