Gas Cooking Range Repair Melbourne | Professional Service

A gas stove or oven never picks a good moment to act up. One burner refuses to light, the oven drifts off temperature, or there’s a smell that makes you pause and wonder if you should keep cooking at all. Even when it still “kind of” works, uneven heat can wreck meals, waste gas, and turn dinner into a frustrating guessing game.

At Craig’s Gas & Plumbing, we handle gas cooking range repair across Melbourne’s west with a simple priority – fix the real problem and make sure it’s safe. No jargon, no pressure to replace the unit, and no vague answers. We’ll diagnose what’s actually going on, explain it in plain English, and repair it properly, so you can cook with confidence again.

Why Melbourne Households Call Us for Gas Cooking Range Repair

A lot of appliance faults look the same from the outside. A clicking burner could be a simple ignition issue, or it could be a flame-sensing or safety-control problem sitting underneath. That’s why we don’t just chase the symptom.

Our job is to find the root cause, repair it, and then confirm the appliance is operating safely. That includes checking components you can’t see, verifying correct operation, and making sure the appliance shuts off the way it should.

We’ve worked on gas cooking appliances in homes across Sunshine, St Albans, Keilor, and surrounding western suburbs since 1998. That experience matters because the “same” fault on two different models can have two completely different causes.

We’ve also been trusted to maintain gas appliances across 5,500+ Department of Human Services properties, where safety standards are strict and the checks can’t be skipped. You get that same careful approach in your home, whether it’s a routine fix or something that feels urgent.

Common Gas Stove and Oven Problems We Fix

If you’re not sure what’s going on, that’s normal. Most people only see the surface-level symptom. If you can tell us what you’re noticing (clicking, weak flame, temperature swings, smells), it helps us narrow down likely causes before we arrive.

We regularly handle:

Burners clicking but not lighting (often ignition or flame-sensing issues)
Weak or uneven flames (gas pressure or burner blockage)
Oven not reaching temperature or cooking unevenly (thermostat or control faults)
Gas smell, soot, or yellow flames (combustion issues that need urgent checking)
Flame cutting out after ignition (thermocouple or safety device problems)
Faulty knobs, valves, or internal leaks

How Our Gas Cooking Range Repair Process Works

We keep it straightforward – identify the fault, repair it properly, then confirm it’s safe to use.

Here’s what we do on a typical gas cooking range repair:

Safety check first: leak testing, ventilation basics, and a quick risk assessment.
Ignition testing: spark, flame-sensing, and ignition timing
Gas pressure and flow checks: making sure burners and oven get the right supply
Component inspection: valves, regulators, thermocouples, wiring, and controls
Temperature verification: oven thermostat and heat consistency checks
Final performance test: we confirm stable flames, correct operation, and safe shut-off

Brands We Repair

We work on most major gas cooking brands, including Chef, Bosch, Westinghouse, Electrolux, Smeg, Omega, and many older models

If your appliance is discontinued, we’ll still do our best to source the right parts or recommend the safest repair option available. And if a repair won’t be cost-effective (or parts availability makes it a gamble), we’ll tell you upfront. You’ll get practical advice, not a sales pitch.

Pricing: What Gas Oven Repairs and Gas Stove Repair Typically Cost

We keep pricing realistic and based on what your appliance actually needs. The fairest approach is diagnosis first, because guessing cheap often turns into paying twice.

Most gas oven repairs Melbourne costs depend on whether it’s a straightforward ignition repair or more involved work, like thermostat or valve repairs. Ovens often need extra testing because temperature control and flame stability have to be verified while the unit is operating.

We’ll diagnose the problem, explain it clearly, and then give you a price based on what your appliance actually needs – no surprises and no pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can you repair gas cooking appliances in Melbourne?

We can often arrange same-day service across Melbourne’s west, especially for common faults where parts are readily available. We carry many frequently used components in our vehicles to reduce downtime. If your repair needs a specialised part, we’ll tell you upfront what the timeline looks like and what you can safely do in the meantime.

What are signs my gas cooking range needs repair?

If burners won’t light, flames are weak, or the oven won’t hold temperature, the appliance needs inspection. Yellow or orange flames can signal poor combustion and should be checked quickly. Gas smells, soot marks, or repeated clicking without ignition are also red flags. If anything feels unsafe, stop using the appliance, and contact us.

Can you repair all gas cooking appliance brands in Melbourne?

In most cases, yes. We work with major brands, like Chef, Bosch, Westinghouse, Smeg, and Omega, plus many older models. If your unit is discontinued, we’ll still investigate parts availability and offer the most practical and safe repair option or honest guidance if replacement is the better call.

Do repairs include safety testing?

Yes. Every job includes safety checks, such as leak testing, ignition verification, and operational testing, to confirm safe shut-off and stable flames. Gas appliances need to be reliable and compliant, not just “working again.” We finish by confirming your cooking range is operating safely before we leave.
