Electric Range Repair

Repairing Electric Ranges

Electric ranges heat with coil or radiant surface elements on the cooktop and a separate bake element and broil element inside the oven, all controlled through infinite switches or a control board that regulates power to each element. The bake element is the most frequently replaced part on an electric range, since it cycles at high temperature every time the oven runs and the exposed coil eventually burns through or develops a visible blister or break. A surface element that won't heat, an oven that heats unevenly, or a burner that only works on high usually traces back to a failed element or infinite switch rather than the control board. On induction cooktops the same surface symptoms can point to a failed element or a control board issue, so a technician checks voltage at each component before replacing anything.

A technician tests the bake element, broil element, surface elements, infinite switches, and control board on-site to isolate the failed component before starting the repair. San Marcos Appliance Repair carries common elements, switches, and control boards for Whirlpool, GE, Samsung, LG, KitchenAid, Bosch, and Viking electric ranges, so most repairs are completed in a single visit. Every completed repair is backed by a 90-day parts-and-labor warranty, and same-day appointments are available seven days a week across San Marcos and North San Diego County.

Diagnosed by Certified Technicians

Before testing the bake element, broil element, surface elements, infinite switch, and control board, the technician assigned to this repair has already completed NASTeC certification in appliance service and repair and trained through MiraCosta College's Technology Career Institute or San Diego College of Continuing Education (SDCCE) under founder and Master Appliance Repair Technician Francisco Ortega, who has run San Marcos Appliance Repair since 2006.
