Why won't my electric stove burner heat up?

It's typically a burnt-out element, a worn burner socket, or a failed infinite switch. With an old coil-style burner, reseating the coil can be all it takes; if not, our Rockville and Montgomery County techs find the part quickly.

Why won't my gas burner light?

The usual suspects are clogged igniter ports, a weak or dead spark igniter, or a gas-supply problem. A good cleaning of the burner cap can help, but if it doesn't, we'll replace the igniter or spark module for you.

Why does my gas burner keep clicking?

Nonstop clicking is often moisture or food caught under a burner cap, a crooked cap, or a failing spark module. Dry and reseat the cap first; when that doesn't fix it, our Rockville and Montgomery County techs replace the igniter switch.

Is a cracked glass cooktop worth repairing?

In most cases, yes. The glass top can be replaced by itself instead of buying a whole new cooktop, and we'll let you know whether that's the cost-effective call for your model.

How long does a stove or cooktop usually last?

On average, a stove or cooktop lasts 13 to 15 years. How long yours lasts depends on the type, how often you cook, and how well the surface and burners are maintained.

How fast can you send someone to the Rockville area?

Most Montgomery County jobs schedule one to two days out. You'll hear from your technician with an arrival time before they head your way, so there's no waiting around.

Is there a service fee?

Yes. There's a brand-based service fee for the visit and the diagnosis, and the repair is quoted on its own for you to approve before we start.

Are your stove and cooktop repairs guaranteed?

Every stove and cooktop repair is backed for 90 days. If the same issue crops up again in that time, a tech returns and fixes it at no charge.

Do you repair all stove and cooktop brands?

We repair over 50 brands across gas, electric, and induction cooktops, from GE, Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Bosch, Samsung, and LG to the premium names Wolf, Thermador, and Viking. We use factory-authorized parts and service yours no matter where you bought it. Warranty work is the sole exception, and it's handled only on appliances we sold.

How do you set up a repair at a property I manage?

We coordinate with the landlord or property manager before scheduling, take a card on file, and pre-charge the service charge with a $350 pre-authorization so on-site repairs under $350 can be approved even if you're unreachable. Should no one be there to grant access at the scheduled time, a second service charge covers the return trip.

Stove & Cooktop Repair Problems

Common Cooktop Concerns

Burner won't heat or light

No heat or flame? On electric it's the element or infinite switch; on gas, the igniter or spark module.

Burner won't adjust

A burner you can't turn down usually means a failed infinite switch or surface control.

Gas smell

Step outside and call your utility company first. The cause is usually a clogged igniter, a weak spark module, or the gas valve.

Induction won't power on

A burner that won't sense a compatible pan typically has a failing induction coil or a bad control board.

Cracked/scratched glass cooktop

A broken glass surface is often replaceable on its own, so you can skip the cost of a whole new unit.

Clicking that won't stop

Constant clicking typically comes from moisture or food under a burner cap, a stuck spark module, or faulty wiring.

These homeowners braced for the usual runaround. See what changed when they chose Landers:

As always, the service technicians from Lander’s are a cut above. Steve diagnosed the issue right away, opened up his tool kit worked magic on our stove, top burners, and we are good to go. I also appreciate how Landers‘s cuts to the chase and tells you what you’re working with in an appliance, what the issues are, discussing how much money you want to put into the appliance, and or when you should consider replacing it. That’s perfect service.
