Stove Notes for This Area
The 30-inch freestanding stove is still the workhorse in the 1950s and 60s houses around downtown McLean and in rental units in Tysons, usually against a wall with its gas line or 240-volt outlet behind it. Older Great Falls houses that no gas main reaches may run a stove on propane from a buried or above-ground tank. In those kitchens the stove stands on the floor rather than in a custom cutout, which makes its burners, valves and oven parts easier to reach.
The sequence we follow on a stove with a dead burner
On gas stoves we turn each knob in turn and listen for the spark, then watch for flame. A burner that ignites slowly usually has clogged ports or a misaligned cap. Clicking without ignition leads to the electrode, its wire and the spark module. If a burner gets no gas at all, the burner valve is checked and, on a propane stove, the regulator and supply pressure. On electric coil stoves the element is tested for continuity and its receptacle is inspected for burning, then the infinite switch is checked for proper cycling. Smooth-top electric stoves get their radiant elements and limiters tested.
Propane, connectors and shutoffs
If your stove runs on propane and every burner weakens at once, ask the supplier to check tank pressure and the regulator. Find the stove's shutoff valve before the appointment, usually behind the bottom drawer or in the basement below. A rotten-egg odor is a different matter: get everyone outdoors and phone the propane company or 911 from there.

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 lazy yellow flame means incomplete combustion. Dirty burner ports, a burner cap out of place, or the wrong orifices for the fuel, such as natural-gas orifices on a propane supply, are typical causes, and air shutter adjustment matters on some older stoves. We inspect the burners and orifices and recommend a supply check if every burner is affected.
