How Our Pricing Works

Burner ignition is the #1 stove repair in LA — and it’s often a $150–$200 job

Gas stove burner ignition failure is the most common appliance repair call we receive across Los Angeles. A burner that clicks endlessly without lighting, or stopped igniting after a boilover, is almost always an igniter or spark electrode issue — not a gas valve or control board failure. Flat-rate pricing that assumes a worst-case scenario costs you more than the actual repair requires.

We diagnose first. The $89 fee covers the full diagnosis. After a boilover, the igniter module is often just wet — cleaning and drying resolves it with no replacement part at all. We check all burners while on site and test the oven cavity (if a range-style stove) before leaving. Gas stove calls include supply pressure verification and post-repair leak check at no extra charge.

Apartment stoves in LA — especially older GE, Whirlpool, and Hotpoint freestanding units common in Koreatown, Silver Lake, and Mid-Wilshire rentals — are a significant portion of our stove calls. These are almost always worth repairing. A burner igniter replacement on an older unit costs far less than a landlord replacing the whole stove.

⚠ After a boilover — try this first

If a burner stopped igniting right after a boilover, remove the burner cap and grate and let everything dry completely — sometimes 24 hours. Clean the igniter tip with a dry toothbrush. If the burner still won’t light after drying, call us. We’ll confirm whether it’s a wet igniter or an actual component failure before ordering any parts.

Flat-Rate BlueBook pricing

  • Single price before diagnosis

Our approach — labor + parts separate

  • Diagnose first, then quote
  • Drying job vs. igniter replacement — different prices
  • Gas pressure check included on every call
  • All burners tested before we leave
  • $89 diagnostic applied to the total

Labor Rates by Repair Type — Los Angeles 2026

What stove repair labor costs in Los Angeles

All prices are labor only. Parts quoted separately after diagnosis. $89 diagnostic applied to repair total when you approve the work.

Repair TypeLabor RangeWhat’s Typically Involved
Gas burner won’t ignite MOST COMMON
One or more burners won’t light, clicking constantly
$150–$280
+ igniter if needed (often none)
 Spark igniter, spark electrode, boilover moisture drying and cleaning. We check all burners while on site.
All burners clicking constantly GAS
Continuous clicking on all burners even when off
$150–$280
+ ignition module if failed
 Ignition module short from boilover moisture (often just drying), igniter switch failure. Annoying and usually inexpensive.
Gas burner flame uneven or won’t stay lit GAS
Weak flame, goes out immediately, won’t stay at low setting
$175–$340
+ valve or cap if needed
 Burner cap misalignment (often free fix), gas valve, burner orifice cleaning, thermocouple on older standing-pilot models
Electric surface element not heating
One or more electric coil or smooth-top burners dead
$150–$300
+ element or switch
 Surface heating element replacement, infinite switch failure. Coil elements are inexpensive; glass cooktop element replacements cost more.
Electric burner won’t turn off
Stuck on high, burner won’t respond to control
$175–$320
+ infinite switch
 Infinite switch failure — a fire hazard. We treat this as a priority. Same-day service strongly recommended.
Oven not heating (range-style stove)
Stovetop burners work but oven portion is dead
$175–$380
+ bake element or igniter
 Bake element (electric), oven igniter (gas), temperature sensor, thermal fuse. Same diagnosis as standalone oven repair.
Control board / display failure
Display dead, error codes, erratic behavior
$240–$480
+ board (expensive on some brands)
 Main control board or user interface board. Diagnosis confirms board vs. sensor before ordering parts.
Cracked glass cooktop
Smooth-top surface cracked, chipped, or shattered
$150–$300
+ glass panel (can be expensive)
 Glass cooktop panel replacement. We quote the glass cost before proceeding — replacement glass sometimes approaches the value of the stove. Transparent in the separate parts quote.
Viking / Wolf / Thermador LUXURY
All failure types
$280–$650+
+ OEM parts (premium pricing)
 Proprietary high-BTU burner systems, sealed burner configurations, custom control modules. Gas pressure check and post-repair leak test included.
Diagnostic fee
Service call + full diagnosis · gas includes pressure check
$89
Applied to repair
 Applied to labor total when you approve the repair. Gas calls include supply pressure check and post-repair leak test at no extra charge.

All prices are labor only. Parts quoted separately as a line item after diagnosis. Gas safety checks included on every gas stove call. Quote before we start; invoice matches the quote. 90-day warranty on parts and labor.

Cost Factors

What affects stove repair cost in Los Angeles

🔥

Boilover — LA’s #1 ignition cause

A pot boiling over and flooding the igniter module is the most common source of burner ignition calls in LA. Often resolves with drying and cleaning — no replacement part. Flat-rate pricing charges you for a part you might not need.

🏠

Apartment stoves — usually worth repairing

Older freestanding stoves in LA rentals (Koreatown, Silver Lake, Mid-Wilshire) are frequently repairable for $150–$300 total. Replacement plus delivery plus installation in a rental unit is a much larger expense — repair almost always wins.

🏷

Brand and part availability

Standard brands (GE, Whirlpool, Samsung, LG) have inexpensive igniters and elements available same-day. Viking, Wolf, and Thermador use proprietary burner components at a premium. We quote parts separately so you see the real difference.

💧

Gas vs. electric surface

Gas ignition issues dominate LA stove calls and are usually the least expensive repairs. Electric smooth-top surfaces have pricier glass panels to replace. We assess which component failed before quoting the parts cost.

⚡

Infinite switch failure — urgent

A burner stuck in the “on” position from a failed infinite switch is a fire hazard. We treat this as a priority repair. If your electric burner won’t turn off, call immediately — don’t wait for a scheduled appointment.

📌

All burners checked on every call

We test every burner while on site — not just the one that was reported. On gas stoves, we also run a full gas pressure check and leak test before leaving. No hidden safety issues left behind.

Repair vs. Replace

When to repair a stove, when to replace it

For most LA stove calls — especially apartment freestanding units — repair wins on cost almost every time.

Repair makes sense when:

  • Unit is under 12 years old
  • Single component failure (igniter, element, switch)
  • Total repair (labor + parts) under 50% of replacement
  • Apartment freestanding stove — replacement involves delivery and installation
  • Luxury range (Viking, Wolf) — these last 15–20 years
  • Burner ignition issue — typically very low total cost

Replace makes more sense when:

  • Budget stove is 12–15+ years old with multiple issues
  • Control board cost exceeds 60% of replacement value
  • Glass cooktop crack where glass cost approaches stove value
  • Parts discontinued with no reliable ETA
  • Owner-occupied upgrade planned regardless
