What usually goes wrong
Oven faults we fix in Alexandria
The symptom you notice, and what it most probably is.

- A relay on the control board has failed

Ovens in Alexandria
Oven repair in Alexandria homes
Which oven you have in Alexandria depends on where you live. Old Town's townhouses have narrow galley kitchens where a standard range is all that fits, and because gas is piped across the city many of those ranges are gas: the classic fault is an igniter that glows but no longer opens the gas valve. The garden condos of Parkfairfax and the older homes of the West End often keep their original wall-oven cutout, so the oven has to match the hole. In the West End's apartment towers the building may never have run gas to the units, so the oven is electric and the faults are elements, sensors and control boards.
Gas or electric: what usually fails
In a gas oven almost everything runs through one part. The igniter has to glow hot enough to open the safety valve, and as it weakens the oven lights late, lights unevenly or stops lighting, while the burners on top carry on working. In an electric oven the bake element, the temperature sensor and a relay on the control board carry most of the faults, and our oven repair page goes through each. If you smell gas with the oven off, leave the house and call Washington Gas before anyone else.
Ranges, from an Old Town galley to a 48-inch double oven
In an Old Town galley the oven is part of a standard range; in a bigger kitchen it may be a professional-style one. A 48-inch gas range with two ovens in Alexandria was not heating properly, and our technician traced the fault and repaired it on site. On a range that size it usually comes down to an igniter, uneven heating or a gas valve, and our range repair page goes through the oven faults and the burner faults together. If the oven is fine and the trouble is on top, a burner that clicks but never lights or a coil that stays cold, that is stove repair.
Wall ovens come out of the cabinet to be fixed
Many kitchens in Parkfairfax, the West End, Carlyle and Potomac Yard have a built-in wall oven and no range, and there is almost no way to reach the back of one while it sits in the wall. One Thermador oven repair in Alexandria meant lifting the oven clear of its cabinet and laying it on moving blankets on the kitchen floor. Built-in ovens are heavy, so clear the floor in front of the oven before the visit, and tell us when you call whether it is a single or a double.

Our technician made the electrical connections, secured the mounting hardware, and tested both units before leaving.

The is my 2nd time using FixDaddy. The first time was to repair my LG washing machine. This time it was to repair my Creda gas stove. Scheduling was easy. They showed up on time. Provided excellent service. I will use them again.

Very professional service. Quick to respond to request and came when they said. Though I didn't have them fix my issue (I realized I should probably just buy a new dryer as there were some unknowns) there was no hard sell of any extra service.

FAQ
Oven repair in Alexandria: frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to have you look at my oven?
The visit fee is $89. Our technician finds exactly what is wrong and gives you the full repair price at your home, with no pressure to go ahead. If you decide to go ahead, the $89 counts toward the repair. We do not quote repair prices over the phone, because nobody has seen the oven yet.
Do you repair built-in wall ovens, or only ranges?
Both, gas and electric, single and double. Built-in ovens come out of the cabinet to be worked on, and the floor is protected before one comes out. We work on Thermador, Wolf, Viking, Bosch, Miele, GE Monogram and Café, KitchenAid, JennAir, Dacor, Frigidaire, Samsung, LG and Whirlpool ovens, among others. The repair is covered for 90 days, parts and labor.
My oven is in a high-rise condo in the West End. Does that change anything?
Only the logistics. If the building never ran gas to the units, the oven is electric, and the faults run to elements, sensors and control boards rather than igniters. Tell us when you book if the building wants contractors to sign in or use a freight elevator. You still get a 2-hour window and a call about 15 minutes before the technician arrives.
Is it worth repairing an old wall oven, or should I replace it?
Often yes, because the cabinet cutout was made for that oven's width and a new one may not fit the same hole. But it depends on what failed. The technician finds the fault, tells you the full repair price at your home, and you decide with no pressure. The $89 visit fee is the same either way and counts toward the repair if you go ahead.
Should I run the self-clean cycle before you come?
No. Self-clean runs the oven far hotter than any baking, for hours, with the door locked, and thermal fuses, door locks and control boards are the parts that most often fail right after it. If the oven is already acting up, the cycle can turn a small fault into a bigger one. Leave it as it is and let the technician see it.
My address says Alexandria but I am in Fairfax County. Do you come out?
Yes. The Alexandria postal area reaches into Fairfax County, so Kingstowne, Mount Vernon, Franconia, Rose Hill, Hollin Hills and Hybla Valley all have Alexandria addresses, and we cover all of them. FixDaddy serves Northern Virginia, Washington DC and the Montgomery County side of Maryland.
Can you come today?
Most days, yes. Someone answers the phone 24/7, and we book a 2-hour arrival window. The technician calls about 15 minutes before arriving, so you are not stuck waiting by the door.
