How to Repair Gas Appliances Yourself – Appliance Forever
Is your gas stove not igniting, your oven not heating, or are you smelling gas? Don’t panic—many gas appliance problems can be identified and fixed at home with the right tools and a little know-how. At Appliance Forever, we’re committed to keeping your kitchen safe and functional.
Here are some common issues and what might be causing them:
– Burner won’t light: Clogged ports, faulty igniter, or misaligned parts.
– Smell of gas: Loose fittings, cracked gas lines—always proceed with caution.
– Oven not heating: Likely due to a defective igniter or faulty thermostat.
– Clicking but no ignition: Often caused by moisture in the igniter.
– Weak or yellow flame: Poor gas pressure or dirty burner heads.
Easy maintenance tips:
✔ Clean burner heads regularly to avoid clogging.
✔ Keep igniters dry and free of food debris.
✔ Check oven door gaskets to ensure proper sealing.
✔ If you smell gas, shut off the appliance and call a pro—never ignore gas odors.
✔ Always unplug the appliance and shut off the gas supply before attempting repairs.

– Cleaning clogged burner ports
– Drying a wet igniter
