Range Repair
Wolf dual fuel ranges — gas burners above, an electric convection cavity below, and whichever half has gone quiet while the other carries on cooking.
On the phone
What people describe when they ring about this
- Cooktop lights normally and the cavity underneath will not heat at all
- Simmer scorches a sauce however far down the knob is turned
- Burner ticks repeatedly, then catches with a thump
- Griddle browns in one stripe and stays cool either side of it
Measured first, before any part is named
A dual fuel range is two machines sharing one badge. Gas burners sit on the manifold above; below them is an electric convection cavity with its own thermostat, its own fans and its own board. They fail independently, and working out which half has gone quiet is most of the diagnosis — which costs nothing over the phone. All-gas ranges are somebody else’s page; this one is about the gas-above, electric-below arrangement.
- Manifold pressure on a manometer before anything is adjusted — a rich flame at this elevation is usually the orifice, not the valve.
- Spark at every electrode, and whether the igniter is sitting proud of the port. That is what makes a burner tick, tick, then light with a bang.
- Bypass screws on the low setting, one burner at a time, so a simmer can actually sit where you put it.
- Continuity through the oven thermal fuse and across the terminal block when the cooktop is alive and the cavity is dead.
- The griddle plate for level, and the ports underneath it, when the browning runs in a stripe rather than across the plate.
What it costs
What a range repair usually comes to
The visit is a flat $89 — travelling out, plus the whole diagnosis — and it comes off the repair bill the moment you say go ahead.
The figure for parts and labour is agreed with you before the work starts — once the fault is known and before anything is dismantled or ordered. The service call then comes off that figure as soon as you approve it. A band is where a job of this kind lands; the number you are given is the number you pay.
- Igniter or spark module the gas half of a dual fuel range, when a burner ticks and ticks before it catches $180 to $470
- Burner valve or orifice service a simmer that will not sit low, or a flame that has never been matched to this elevation $240 to $560
- Oven thermostat or sensor calibration a cavity that bakes to the wrong number however long you give it $210 to $460
- Convection fan or motor a fan that howls, rattles or falls silent while the cavity still heats $300 to $650
- Control board or touch panel a panel that has gone dark, frozen or deaf to the pads after a power cut $470 to $910
- Door hinge, glass or seal a door that sits proud, drops open, or lets heat out over the top $270 to $700
One comparison, made once and then dropped: putting in a comparable professional range, before installation and ventilation work costs $7,570 to $18,460. Every band on that ladder sits a very long way underneath it, and that gap is the whole argument for having somebody look at the fault first.

Oven quit while the cooktop carried on, in a kitchen you cannot turn around in. A thermal fuse and a scorched wire at the terminal block. He worked off the back porch to keep the mess out.

Knobs on the right side had gone stiff enough that my mother could not turn them. He stripped the stems, cleaned out years of baked-on spill and re-greased. They turn with one finger again.

Simmer setting scorched everything, which I had put down to the thin air up here. Turned out the low-flame adjustment had never been set after the range was installed. Sauces behave now.
