Range repair

Rarely an emergency

Burners that will not light, click constantly or glow unevenly are the usual range problems. Gas ranges: if you smell gas, turn the burners off, leave and call from outside. Electric: a burner that sparks or scorches means off at the breaker.

Range leaking waterUsually urgent, not an emergency

Is it an emergency? Usually urgent, not an emergency. Turn off the water to it and unplug it or switch off its breaker, then soak up standing water. If water is reaching outlets or cords, switch off the breaker before touching anything; water coming through a ceiling is an emergency.

Range making a loud noiseUsually not an emergency

Is it an emergency? Usually not an emergency. A new grinding, rattling or humming most often comes from a fan, motor, belt or loose panel. Stop using it and cut the power if the noise comes with a burning smell, smoke or sparks; if it runs on gas and you smell gas, leave and call the gas company or 911 from outside.

Range smells like burningTreat it as urgent

Is it an emergency? Treat it as urgent. Turn it off and unplug it or switch off its breaker, and do not use it again until the cause is found. If you see smoke or flames, or smell gas, get everyone out and call 911.

Range flashing an error codeUsually not an emergency

Is it an emergency? Usually not an emergency — the code is the appliance reporting a fault it detected. Note the code, then turn it off at the breaker for a minute and back on. If the code returns with a burning smell, smoke or a leak, leave it off and call a pro.
