Ninety percent of these calls end at one part — but gas work earns its careful order of operations. Here's ours.
Gas smell without ignition: stop, ventilate, close the oven's shutoff if you know it, and call — mention the smell and the booking moves up.
Door open, bake on: a glow that never brings the whoomp of ignition within a minute is the classic weak-igniter show. Turn it off after.
Cooktop burners lighting normally proves supply and points the fault inside the oven — worth thirty seconds before booking.
Igniter current gets measured against manufacturer spec — the number catches a fading igniter that still looks healthy to the eye. Replacement uses OEM-grade parts, and every gas connection we disturb gets leak-checked with solution before panels close; that step is doctrine, not garnish. The all-in price from $289 covers diagnosis, part, labor and the leak-check.
Cycling proof finishes the job: several full ignition cycles, watching for clean light-off and steady flame. Gas ovens repaired this way stay repaired — the fade takes years to return, and the written warranty covers the horizon in between.
By design it fails safe — no full current, no open valve, no gas. The danger enters with delayed ignition: gas pooling before a late light-off produces the small 'whoomp' owners report. That's the sign to stop using the oven and book, not a quirk to live with.
Because the igniter opens the valve less decisively as it ages — heat arrives in stutters, and preheat stretches from twelve minutes toward thirty. That slow-fade account is practically the fingerprint of this fault; by the time the oven is fully cold, the diagnosis is usually a formality.
It's standard: every burner gets lit and observed, and any connection we've touched gets the leak solution. If an electrode or module elsewhere on the range is on its way out, you'll hear it as a heads-up with a number — never as pressure.

The all-in price covers diagnosis, labor and parts. It doesn't move after work starts.
$95 for the visit and diagnosis is the whole bill — if the fix costs too much or the machine isn't worth it, that's all you owe.
From $289 all-in, most closed the same visit. Call (509) 841-9102 or send the form.
