Stove Notes for This Area
In North Arlington's original colonials and Capes, the stove is usually a 30-inch freestanding unit against an outside wall or between two runs of counter. Gas stoves draw from a line that rises through the floor from the basement, and electric ones plug into a 240-volt outlet low on the wall. These kitchens are small, so the stove tends to be the most-used and hardest-worked appliance in the room.
Checking each burner and the controls behind it
Each burner is checked on its own. On gas, we seat the cap, clear the ports and look for a spark at the igniter; if every igniter clicks but none lights, the problem is often gas supply or a valve, and if one burner sparks nonstop, its switch is wet or shorted. On electric coil tops, a dead element is moved to a working socket to separate an element fault from a burned receptacle or a failed infinite switch. Smooth-top elements are measured for continuity, and their limiters and hot-surface indicators are tested. Once the top is settled, we check the oven below on the same visit.
Pulling out a stove in a small kitchen
Small Westover and Cherrydale kitchens leave little room to roll a stove forward, and older wood or vinyl floors scratch easily. When a gas stove comes out, the flexible connector and shutoff behind it are checked, and an anti-tip bracket should be fitted if one is missing. Many older installations in these houses never had one.

Stove Repair: Your Questions

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.
A coil burner that works only at full power usually has a failed infinite switch, the control behind the knob that cycles the element on and off at lower settings. A burned receptacle can cause erratic heating too. We test the switch and receptacle and check the element.
