Stove Notes for This Area
Gas stoves are still the rule in much of Lyon Village, Lyon Park and Ashton Heights, where the gas line runs into kitchens that have been remodeled more than once. Burners that light slowly or burn yellow usually have clogged ports or a cap sitting off-center after cleaning. A burner that clicks nonstop points to moisture on the igniter or a failing spark switch. If there is a gas smell with every knob off, close the valve behind the stove, leave the house and call Washington Gas; the stove can be looked at once they have cleared it.
Tracking down stove faults in high-rise condos and garden apartments
In a condo the stove is usually a freestanding or slide-in electric model with a glass top. We work out whether the problem is on top or in the oven, then test the surface element and its switch, or the bake element, sensor and control. A burned terminal block behind the stove comes from a loose cord connection that overheated, so we check it whenever the stove comes out. In the older garden-apartment buildings the stove is more often a basic owner-supplied model, and the owner should approve the repair.
Booking stove repair in Arlington
Some residential streets near the Metro stations are permit-only, so mention a driveway or visitor pass if you have one. For a gas range in one of the older houses, know where the shutoff valve is; for a wall oven or induction top in a condo, send the model number ahead.
Where to find the model number: Pull out the storage drawer and check the frame behind it, or look around the oven opening with the door down. If the label can't be reached without moving the appliance, leave it; we'll read it at the visit.

Service Summary
Stove Repair: Your Questions
Brief answers to what customers most often ask us. Don't see yours? Ask when you call, or add it to the notes when you book online.
Still have a question?
Get in touch with the brand, the symptom and, if you can find it, the model number. Some things we can answer right away; others need a technician in front of the machine.
Yes. A coil that doesn't sit firmly in its receptacle arcs and overheats the terminals, which burns the receptacle and eventually the element. A burnt receptacle should be replaced along with the element, since a new element in a damaged receptacle burns out quickly. Tell the landlord; it's a small repair that heads off a bigger one.

Stove Repair for Owners, Renters and Landlords
Along Wilson and Clarendon Boulevards most people live in mid- and high-rise condos and apartments, nearly all of them built after the Orange Line opened in 1979. A few blocks off the corridor the scale drops to detached houses from the 1920s through the 1940s: bungalows, Colonial Revivals, Tudors and early-1900s two-story houses in Lyon Park, Lyon Village and Ashton Heights. Arlington was also an early home of the garden apartment, with Buckingham's brick buildings going up from 1937.

The part is installed and the appliance is run through a cycle so you can watch it working.
