Major gas range breakdowns

Gas range burner does not ignite or turns off

A common gas range malfunction is poor or no ignition of the gas burner. This malfunction 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 burnt out thermocouple. Thor Range Repair and Service will quickly fix any problems.

Range gas burner goes out during operation

If the gas burner on the range goes out during operation, it is worth observing the combustion of the gas range. The flame from the burner should wash over the thermocouple from all sides. If the flame does not reach the thermocouple, the range nozzle should be cleaned: – otherwise the gas supply will need to be adjusted. Thor Range Repair technicians will solve all problems with gas ranges.

Electric ignition doesn’t work doesn’t click, no spark 

This breakdown is not a verdict of the panel, most owners switch to matches. The cause is: lack of voltage in the network; burned out spark generation unit (ignition unit), oxidized contacts of the trigger buttons. Specialists in Thor Range Repair and Service will solve this problem, when you contact us.

The burner may not turn on if the gas burner is flaming weakly

If the flame on the gas burner burns sluggishly than usual (has a small crown), the cause of the malfunction may be a clogged gas atomizer orifice. The burner should be thoroughly cleaned. 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 Thor Range Repair technician.

Range burners are not burning properly 

If the flame on a gas burner burns sluggishly than usual (has a small crown), the cause of the problem may be due to a clogged gas atomizer orifice. The burner should be thoroughly cleaned.

Adjusting the air damper and cleaning the nozzle can correct the problem, but this work should be done by a specialized Thor Range Repair and Service technician.

The gas control valves are difficult to turn 

This is mostly due to grease buildup on the turning mechanisms (adjustment knob and plastic rings). Remove everything and wash with soapy water. To a lesser extent due to lack of grease inside the faucet. You should disassemble the faulty faucet, clean out the old graphite grease and apply new grease. Don’t overdo the amount of grease or the faucet holes will eventually become clogged with excess. Thor Range Repair specialists will perform this repair, in a short time.

Burner shuts off after releasing the knob

Modern imported gas stoves constantly “suffer” due to poor operation of the gas control system. Often the thermo-electromagnetic valve breaks down. We recommend not to try to repair it and even less to disconnect it, the correct solution is to replace the worn out valve.

Gas ranges, if you provide them with timely service, will last a long time. You can have your appliance serviced by a trusted Poway Appliance Service Center company.
