Not Sure What the Fault Is?

That is completely fine. Most people just know something is wrong with the stove. You do not need to know the technical name — just tell us what it is doing and we take it from there.

Gas stove diagnosis

We diagnose before we repair

You get a proper assessment first — not a guess. Gas appliances need correct diagnosis before any work starts. That is how we protect you and the repair budget.

Clear gas stove pricing

We explain the cost clearly

You get a full quote before anything starts. No vague pricing, no surprise additions after the job. You are in control of the decision the whole way.

Simple gas stove booking

We keep the process simple

WhatsApp or call, give us your suburb and the problem, and we handle the rest. No waiting days for a response — we move quickly.

How It Works

Simple. Clear. No Confusion.

You know exactly what happens at each step, what it costs, and what you are agreeing to — before anything begins.

1

WhatsApp or call us

Tell us your suburb and describe what the gas stove is doing. Not igniting, going off after lighting, weak flame, gas smell, clicking — whatever it is, tell us and we guide you from there.

2

We come to you and diagnose the fault

The call-out and full diagnosis is R400. This covers the visit and a proper systematic inspection of the gas stove — so the fault is confirmed, not assumed.

You receive a clear repair quote

We explain the fault and give you the full repair price in plain language. No pressure. Nothing starts until you are comfortable and you say yes.

4

Approve the quote — R400 is waived

Accept the repair and the call-out fee is waived completely. The approved repair amount is the only amount you pay — nothing added on top.

Call-out fee waived on approval

5

Repair completed with 3-month guarantee

Every approved repair is backed by a 3-month guarantee on the same fault. If it comes back within that period, we come back and fix it — that is our commitment.

You don't need to know the part name

Most clients don't know whether it's the thermocouple, igniter, jet, burner cap, gas valve, regulator, or something else. Just describe the symptoms — identifying the component is our job.

Gas Stove Problems We Fix

Gas stove faults have real technical causes behind them — and with gas, getting it wrong is not just inconvenient, it can be unsafe. A trained technician diagnoses the correct cause before anything is replaced.

Gas burner not igniting
Common Gas Fault

Burner Not Igniting

You turn the knob, you hear clicking or nothing at all, but the burner will not catch a flame. This is one of the most searched gas stove problems — and the cause is almost never what people assume it is without a proper look.

What our technician checks Spark igniter and electrode condition • Burner cap alignment and seating • Burner port blockages and debris • Gas flow to the burner • Ignition wiring and switch integrity
Gas burner lights then goes off
Safety-Related Fault

Burner Lights Then Goes Off

The flame appears when you hold the knob down but cuts out the moment you release it. This is a safety system doing its job — but the underlying component causing it needs to be found and fixed before the stove can be used reliably.

What our technician checks Thermocouple condition and positioning • Flame failure device response time • Burner head heat transfer • Gas valve hold-open function • Component contact and connection integrity
Gas stove clicking but not lighting
Common Gas Fault

Clicking But Not Lighting

The ignition clicks repeatedly but the gas never catches. Sometimes it eventually lights after many attempts — other times not at all. Running a clicking ignition for extended periods without lighting wastes gas and puts unnecessary strain on the ignition system.

What our technician checks Igniter electrode gap and carbon deposits • Burner cap seating and moisture • Gas delivery pressure and flow • Spark module and wiring condition • Burner port blockages affecting gas release
Weak or uneven gas flame
Performance Fault

Weak or Uneven Flame

The stove lights but the flame is low, yellow, or uneven across the burner ring. Cooking performance drops, food heats unevenly, and the stove uses more gas than it should. This fault often gets gradually worse over time.

What our technician checks Jet and burner port blockages • Burner head condition and spread pattern • Gas pressure at the appliance • Regulator output and stability • Air-to-gas ratio and mixing function
Gas smell from stove
Safety Priority — Act Quickly

Gas Smell From the Stove

A gas smell is never something to ignore or wait on. If you smell gas when the stove is off, or when it should not be releasing gas, that needs to be assessed by a technician as soon as possible. Do not attempt to identify or fix a gas leak yourself.

What our technician checks Hose and connection integrity • Gas valve seal condition • Regulator and fitting leak points • Burner valve sealing under pressure • All gas-carrying components from connection to burner
Blocked gas jets and burner ports
Performance Fault

Blocked Jets or Burner Ports

Grease, food residue, and debris build up inside burner ports and jets over time — affecting flame quality, ignition reliability, and gas flow. What appears to be a faulty igniter is often a blocked burner that prevents proper gas release for ignition.

What our technician checks Jet orifice condition and sizing • Burner port ring blockage and damage • Burner head and cap condition • Gas flow rate and distribution • Underlying cause of the blockage
Gas hob not working
Common Gas Fault

Gas Hob Not Working Properly

Built-in gas hobs have the same failure points as freestanding stoves but are more difficult to access and assess without proper tools. A hob that performs inconsistently, fails on certain burners, or causes concern with its safety operation needs a proper inspection — not guesswork.

What our technician checks Individual burner operation and output • Ignition system across all burners • Gas supply manifold and valve condition • Thermocouple function per burner • Hob safety interlock and flame supervision
General gas stove faults
General Inspection

Gas Stove Feels Unsafe or Unreliable

Sometimes the stove works — but something feels off. Irregular flame behaviour, inconsistent ignition, unusual sounds, or a stove that simply does not perform the way it used to. If something about your gas stove concerns you, it is worth having it properly checked.

What our technician checks Full visual and functional inspection • Gas supply and pressure assessment • Safety device operation across burners • Ignition system performance • Structural and connection integrity

We repair major gas stove and gas hob brands — Defy, Bosch, Smeg, AEG, Whirlpool, Samsung, Hisense, and more. Freestanding gas stoves and built-in gas hobs.

Pricing Clarity

Clear Pricing. No Stories.

No hidden costs. No vague quotes. No additions after the job begins. Here is exactly how it works from start to finish.

R400 — Call-Out and Full Diagnosis

This covers the visit to your home and a proper, systematic inspection of the gas stove. With gas appliances especially, we do not guess at faults. We test, confirm, and explain the cause before recommending any repair.

Clear Repair Quote — Before Any Work Begins

Once the fault is confirmed, you get the full repair price in plain language. You understand what is wrong, why it happened, and what fixing it costs. Nothing starts until you approve it.

Approved Repairs Include a 3-Month Guarantee

If the same approved fault returns within 3 months, we come back and fix it under the guarantee. No arguments, no extra charges — that is the commitment on every approved repair we do.

How the R400 Waiver Works

1

We arrive and carry out the full call-out and diagnosis. This costs R400. It is a proper inspection — not a quick look. We find and confirm the actual fault.

2

We explain what is wrong and present the repair quote. You decide whether to proceed. There is no pressure and no obligation to go ahead at this stage.

3

If you accept the repair quote, the R400 is waived completely. It does not get added to your total. The approved repair price is the only amount you pay.

4

If you choose not to proceed, only the R400 call-out applies. You still leave with a proper diagnosis and a clear picture of exactly what the gas stove needs.

A Faulty Gas Stove Is Not Just Inconvenient — It Can Be Unsafe

Gas appliance faults do not stay minor. They escalate — and some create real risk.

Gas Leaks Do Not Fix Themselves

A small gas leak from a failing valve, loose fitting, or degraded hose does not improve with time. It gets worse. Gas accumulates in enclosed spaces and creates a risk that goes far beyond an inconvenient cooking experience.

Faults Escalate and Cost More

A thermocouple fault left alone stresses the gas valve. A blocked jet forces the igniter to work harder. What starts as a minor repair becomes a bigger, more expensive one — or a component that is no longer available for that model.

Early Repair Is the Right Call

A gas stove diagnosed and repaired early costs less, takes less time, and puts the appliance back to safe, reliable operation faster. Waiting on a gas fault rarely makes it cheaper or simpler.

FAQ

Gas Stove Repair Questions

The questions gas stove owners in Pretoria and Centurion ask us most often.

Do you repair gas stove burners that are not igniting?
Yes. We handle gas burner not igniting faults across Pretoria and Centurion. The cause may involve the igniter electrode, burner cap alignment, blocked ports, or gas flow issues. We confirm the fault properly before quoting.
My burner lights and then goes off — can you fix that?
Yes. A gas burner not staying on is typically a thermocouple or flame failure device fault. The safety system is doing its job — but the underlying component needs replacing. We test and confirm which part before any work starts.
The ignition clicks but the gas does not light — is that repairable?
Yes. Gas stove clicking but not lighting is a very common fault. It can involve the igniter electrode, blocked burner ports, burner cap positioning, or gas delivery. We identify the actual cause before recommending any repair.
Do you fix weak or uneven gas flames?
Yes. A weak or uneven gas flame is often caused by blocked jets, burner port build-up, or gas pressure and regulator issues. We locate the restriction and give you a clear quote before any cleaning or replacement takes place.
I can smell gas from my stove — is this something you check?
Yes, and we treat it as a priority. A gas smell from a stove can indicate a leak at a fitting, valve, hose, or seal — none of which should be ignored. Book as soon as possible and avoid using the stove until it has been inspected.
Do you repair built-in gas hobs as well as freestanding stoves?
Yes. We assist with gas hob repairs and freestanding gas stove repairs across major brands, depending on the fault type and parts required for that specific model.
How does the R400 call-out fee work for gas stove repairs?
The R400 covers the visit and full diagnosis. If you accept the repair quote, the R400 is waived and the approved repair amount is your only charge. If you decline, only the R400 applies — but you leave with a clear diagnosis of the fault.
Will I know the full price before the repair starts?
Always. You receive a full repair quote before any work begins. Nothing starts without your approval — and the quoted amount does not change once you have accepted it.
