FiveStar Range Repair, Los Angeles & SoCal

FiveStar is built by Brown Stove Works, Inc. in Cleveland, Tennessee — a family-owned company founded in 1935 that describes itself as the only remaining privately-held US stove-range manufacturer, still building in the same Tennessee factory. The company markets ranges under both the Brown and FiveStar names. That heritage matters for repair in a very practical way: because Brown Stove Works is still an active American manufacturer, FiveStar parts are available directly from the factory and through US distributors rather than being orphaned or import-only. When an American pro-range brand is still running its own factory, the parts you need for a repair are genuinely obtainable. $89 residential diagnostic, waived with repair.

Yes — and easily, relative to the imported luxury ranges. Because Brown Stove Works still manufactures FiveStar in Tennessee, the wear parts our techs replace — igniters, thermocouples, gas valves, oven elements and thermostats, sealed-burner components, convection fan motors — are available direct from the factory and through US appliance-parts distributors, typically in a normal few-day timeframe rather than a European special-order. That's the quiet advantage of a made-in-USA range from an active manufacturer: no orphan-brand parts hunt, no transatlantic lead time. Our techs source genuine FiveStar parts through the domestic channel and carry the common wear items where we can.

All of them — FiveStar ranges are sold by size and fuel rather than fancy series names, in 24, 30, 36, 48, and 60-inch widths, all-gas and dual-fuel, plus 36 and 48-inch cooktops and matching ventilation. We service the sealed Ultra High-Low burners, the gas and electric ovens, and FiveStar's TurboFlow convection. On the dual-fuel ranges, FiveStar's side-by-side configuration — one gas oven and one electric oven in a single range — means we diagnose two different oven systems in the same unit, which our techs handle as a matter of routine. Tell us the width and whether it's all-gas or dual-fuel when you call.

On a FiveStar, an oven or burner that won't light or hold temperature is a gas-and-element diagnosis, not an electronics mystery. Our techs test the igniter (a weak glow igniter that no longer draws enough current to open the gas valve is the classic gas no-light), the gas valve, the thermocouple on standing-pilot components, and — on the electric oven of a dual-fuel — the bake element, the temperature sensor, and calibration with a metered thermometer. FiveStar's sealed Ultra High-Low burners are serviced at the burner and valve. It's straightforward pro-range work, and with genuine parts on hand it's usually a one-visit fix. $89 residential diagnostic, waived with repair.

Almost always. A FiveStar pro-range runs roughly $2,500 to $7,000 depending on size and configuration, it's American-built to a serviceable standard, and — critically — parts are available from an active US factory. That combination means repair-versus-replace almost always lands on repair: a burner, a valve, an igniter, an oven element, or a convection fan is a fraction of replacement cost, and the range is built to keep going. Unlike an orphaned or discontinued brand where a dead part can total the appliance, a FiveStar's parts pipeline is open. We'll always give you the honest number, but on a FiveStar the answer is nearly always repair.

FiveStar plays in the same American pro-range space as Viking, Wolf, and BlueStar, and the service is comparable — sealed or open gas burners, serious ovens, mechanical-to-modern controls. Where FiveStar stands out is the ownership: it's the independent, family-owned, made-in-Tennessee option, and its parts come from an active US factory the same way BlueStar's do. For service that means no import lead time and no orphan risk. If you're weighing brands, see our BlueStar and Wolf range pages for the comparable independent and luxury options. Our techs service all of them across LA and the wider SoCal area.
