Professional Gas Oven Repair

Our services include 

  • Thermocouple Replacement: This is the most common fault. The thermocouple is a safety sensor that detects heat. If it fails, the magnetic valve in the control unit shuts off the gas supply to prevent leaks. We carry universal and brand-specific thermocouples.

  • Thermostat Calibration: If your oven runs too hot, the capillary tube in the thermostat may be damaged. We recalibrate or replace the entire thermostat assembly to ensure precise temperatures.

  • Door Hinge & Gasket Seals: Heat escaping through worn rubber seals leads to wasted gas and uneven baking. We re-seal doors to restore thermal efficiency.

  • Solenoid Valve Testing: On modern digital gas ovens, electronic solenoids control the gas flow. We diagnose these electrical faults accurately. 

The hob is important part of your kitchen.  We tackle common combustion issues including:

  • Jet/Injector Cleaning: Over time, boiled-over starch and cleaning agents block the tiny brass injector jets. We professionally ream these jets to restore a strong, blue flame.

  • Airation Adjustment: A healthy gas flame is blue and distinct. A yellow, lazy flame indicates “incomplete combustion,” which produces soot and dangerous Carbon Monoxide. We adjust the aeration sleeves on your burners to optimize the oxygen mix.

  • Ignition Spark Generators: If you hear the gas hissing but no “click,” your spark module or electrode is faulty. We replace these units to save you from using matches.

  • Durban North & Umhlanga: Including La Lucia, Mount Edgecombe, Verulam, and Umdloti (High rust zone specialists).

FAQ

  • Is it worth fixing a gas stove?

    Yes, if the repair cost is reasonable and the stove is under 10 years old, it’s often more cost-effective than replacing it.

  • Why is my gas stove not igniting?

    Common causes include a clogged burner, faulty igniter, or issues with the gas supply.

  • How much does it cost to fix a gas stove burner?

    Costs typically range from R500 to R1,500, depending on the issue and parts required.

  • I smell gas what should i do?

    it's crucial to act quickly. Do not attempt to light your stove or any other appliances. Avoid using electrical switches or phones in the vicinity. Open windows and doors to ventilate the area and evacuate everyone from the premises. Once you are safely outside, call our emergency gas stove repair line immediately. We prioritize gas leak calls to ensure the safety of your home and family in Durban.

    • Pilot lights that won't stay lit
    • Uneven flames or yellow flames

  • Do local appliance repair shops offer warranties on gas stove repairs?

    es, reputable local repair shops typically offer warranties. Expect a 3-to-6-month guarantee on workmanship plus standard manufacturer warranties on new parts. Always verify the technician is LPGSA certified, as using unqualified labor can void your appliance's existing warranty.

When you call us to describe your emergency, we will provide you with a clear explanation of our call-out fee before we dispatch a technician. We believe in honest and upfront pricing.

    • Your name and address in Durban.
    • A brief description of the problem you're experiencing.
    • The make and model of your gas stove, if you know it.
    • Whether you can smell gas.

  • What is the lifespan of a hob?

    The lifespan of a hob typically ranges from 10 to 15 years, depending on the type, brand, and maintenance. Regular cleaning, correct use, and timely repairs help extend its life. For hob repairs, contact our technicians in Durban today.

  • Is it worth fixing a gas oven?

    Yes — fixing a gas oven is often worth it if the repair cost is less than half the price of a replacement and the oven is under 10–12 years old. Professional repairs can restore performance and extend its lifespan.
