Stove Notes for This Area
Gas stoves are common in the older parts of Alexandria, from the bungalows on Del Ray's side streets to the Craftsman houses of Rosemont. A burner that lights on only one side of the ring has blocked ports; a steady yellow flame suggests an air shutter or cap problem. Sealed-burner tops on newer stoves have ceramic igniters that crack if a pot lands on them. If you ever smell gas with every knob off, shut the valve if you can reach it safely, get out, and phone Washington Gas from outside. The stove gets fixed once the leak question is settled.
Tracking down stove faults in early-1900s houses and townhouses
In early-1900s houses the stove is often gas, sometimes a vintage-style freestanding model on a connection replaced during a remodel. We check both halves: the burners, caps and igniters on top; the oven igniter, safety valve and sensor below. While it's pulled out, we look at the floor under it, since older floors can slope enough to throw a stove out of level, which shows up as oil pooling to one side of the pan.
Booking stove repair in Alexandria
For a gas range in an older Del Ray or Rosemont house, find the shutoff valve before the visit, often behind the range or in the cellar below it. For a condo on Duke Street or near Van Dorn Street station, send the building's contractor rules and your 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. Photograph the label straight on, because flash glare can hide a faded character.

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. Old uncoated brass connectors can crack at their fittings with age, and safety agencies have warned about them for years. A gas fitter should replace it with a new coated connector. Avoid moving the stove until then.

Stove Repair for Owners, Renters and Landlords
Our two Alexandria ZIPs have very different housing. In 22301, Del Ray and Rosemont were laid out between the 1890s and the 1910s as railroad and streetcar suburbs, and they're full of Craftsman bungalows (some from Sears kits), Colonial Revivals, Folk Victorians and early-1900s two-story houses, with newer townhouses and apartments at Potomac Yard. In 22304, the West End, Seminary Valley has brick townhouses, ramblers, split-levels and Cape Cods from the 1940s to the 1960s, Cameron Station is townhouses and condos built from about 1999 on a former Army depot, and there are high-rise condos along Duke Street.
