Burner will not heat or ignite
A gas, electric, or induction cooking zone stays cold, lights slowly, or heats unevenly.
Max Appliance Repair Halifax diagnoses and repairs freestanding and slide-in ranges across Halifax, Dartmouth, Bedford, Sackville, and nearby HRM communities.
This page covers complete ranges that combine a cooktop and oven. For a standalone cooktop or surface-only fault, use our stove and cooktop repair service.
A range problem can have more than one cause. We inspect the symptoms, explain the fault we find, and provide an estimate before repair work begins.
A gas, electric, or induction cooking zone stays cold, lights slowly, or heats unevenly.
The oven will not preheat, only one mode works, or cooking temperatures fluctuate.
The display, knobs, touch panel, clock, or cooking settings stop working normally.
Ignition is delayed, clicking continues, or the flame is weak, uneven, or will not stay lit.
The range does not detect cookware, loses power, or displays a recurring induction error.
The oven door will not seal, the convection fan grinds, or unusual noises occur during cooking.
Tell us the range brand, model number, and symptoms when you book.
Request an AppointmentThree clear steps from the first call to an approved repair.
Call or use the booking form with the range brand, model number if available, and the symptoms you have noticed.
The technician inspects the range, explains the fault found, and provides an estimate before repair work begins.
If you proceed, the service-call fee is waived. Completed repairs include a 3-month parts and labour warranty.
Range repair cost depends on whether the fault is in the cooktop, oven, controls, gas ignition, or power system, plus labour, access, and parts availability. We provide an estimate before work begins.
Use this page when the appliance combines surface cooking with an oven. For a separate cooktop, use the stove and cooktop page. Stop using the range if it sparks, will not shut off, or smells of gas; if you smell gas, leave the area and contact the gas utility or emergency services from a safe location.
For more detail, see standalone stove and cooktop repair and our oven not-heating guide.
Straight answers about appointments, pricing, scope, and what to expect.
Same-day appointments are often available for range repair in Halifax and nearby HRM communities. Timing depends on the day’s schedule, travel time, and whether the repair needs a part that is not already available. Call early for the best availability.
The total cost depends on the fault, labour, and replacement parts required for the range. After the diagnosis, you receive an estimate before repair work begins so you can decide whether to proceed.
The service-call fee covers the technician’s visit and diagnosis. If you approve and complete the recommended repair, that fee is waived. If you decide not to proceed with the repair, the service-call fee applies.
Completed range repairs include a 3-month parts and labour warranty. Your technician can explain the coverage for the specific repair before work begins.
Repair may make sense when the appliance is otherwise in good condition and the estimate is meaningfully lower than replacement. Replacement may be more practical when failures repeat, an essential part is unavailable, or the repair approaches the cost of a comparable new appliance.
We service major household freestanding and slide-in gas, electric, induction, and dual-fuel ranges where parts and service information are available. Share the fuel type and model number when booking.
