Stove Repairs in Pretoria East PTA — Gas and Electric, Fixed the Same Day

When a stove hob stops working, it disrupts every meal in the house. Whether you have a gas hob with a burner that won’t ignite, an electric hob with a plate that’s stopped heating, or a combination unit where one side has failed, the fault has a specific mechanical cause that can be identified and repaired. We carry out stove repairs on both gas and electric models across Pretoria East, covering all the major brands found in homes throughout the area.

Common Stove Faults We Repair

On gas hobs, the most common faults we see are thermocouple failures — where the burner ignites but the flame goes out when you release the knob — and solenoid valve issues that prevent gas from flowing to the burner at all. Ignition switch faults are also common, where the spark fires continuously even when the control knob is off, or refuses to spark at all. Gas safety components, including thermocouples and solenoid valves, are stocked for most major brands and are usually replaced the same day.

On electric hobs, the main faults are element failure — where a plate stops heating entirely or heats unevenly — and control switch damage where the rotary switch that controls the heat setting has broken or become intermittent. We also see cooktop glass cracking due to heat stress on glass-ceramic hobs, and damaged surface elements on induction units. The dry Highveld conditions in suburbs like Garsfontein, Faerie Glen, and Moreleta Park contribute to dust infiltration around ignition systems on gas hobs, which can cause erratic spark behaviour or intermittent ignition failure.
