Why does only one burner work on my stove?

Usually a failed infinite switch, element or receptacle. Swapping coils helps narrow it down, and all three are common, reasonable repairs.

Is it worth repairing an older stove?

Often yes, for switches, elements and igniters. If the oven and cooktop both need major parts, we tell you honestly that replacement may make more sense.

Burner Problems on Everyday Stoves

Builder-grade electric stoves have either coil burners or a smooth glass top. A coil that will not heat may have failed itself, or its receptacle may be burned. A burner that works only on high usually points to a failed infinite switch behind the knob. On glass tops, a dark element means a failed switch or element. Gas burners often click without lighting because the igniter got wet during cleaning.

With the stove off and cool, swap a dead coil into a working spot of the same size. If it heats there, the receptacle or switch is at fault. Never use oven cleaner on a glass top.

First-Time Owners and Rentals

For many first-time Riverview homeowners, a stove problem is the first repair they face. Check that the breaker is on and the knobs are fully seated. If you smell gas, turn the stove off and call your provider. Our technician tests switches, elements and igniters, explains the failure in plain terms and gives the price. A property manager can book for a tenant and approve the repair.

Before You Book: Stove Checks

Safe first steps for the most urgent stove problems, and when to leave it to a technician.

Gas Odor from StoveSafety: Get out of the house without operating switches or lighting anything, then phone the gas utility or 911 from outdoors.
Power Cord or Terminal Block IssueSafety: Leave the terminal cover closed. Burning odors or scorch marks behind the stove mean switching off the breaker and calling us.
Burning Smell from Storage DrawerSafety: Shut the oven off, clear out the drawer, and remove debris after it cools; if smoke continues, turn off the breaker.
Not Igniting: Make sure the stove is plugged in and its breaker has not tripped; any gas odor means stopping, getting out of the house, and phoning the gas utility or 911 from outdoors.

Symptoms, causes and repair-or-replace advice for every type of stove are in our complete stove repair guide.
