Stove repair in San Marcos
The freestanding stove is the workhorse of San Marcos rental kitchens. Most apartments and duplexes near campus have electric stoves with coil or smooth glass tops plugged into 240-volt outlets. In the older cottages near downtown, a gas stove may stand on a connector that has outlived several stoves before it. These are simple appliances, but constant use wears out their burners, switches and receptacles, and tenants rarely know the stove's history.
Isolating a dead burner
Each burner gets its own test. On coil stoves, a dead coil is plugged into a socket known to work, which separates a bad coil from a bad socket or control switch; scorched, loose receptacles are a frequent result of years of pans pushing on the coils. Glass tops have each radiant element and its limiter checked for continuity. A gas stove burner that refuses to light has its cap reseated and ports cleared, then its igniter and lead checked for a spark, and if every igniter clicks with no flame, the spark module or a shorted switch is next. The oven below is tested too, since it shares the power supply and controls.
Pulled-out stoves and missing brackets
A rental stove that has been dragged out for cleaning many times may have a strained power cord or a missing anti-tip bracket, and a stove that rocks forward when the oven door opens is a hazard. In older San Marcos cottages, tell us where the gas shutoff is if you know, since it may be behind the stove or under the house.

A burner that heats only on high usually has a failed infinite switch, the control that cycles power on and off at lower settings. A burned or loose receptacle can also make the coil heat erratically. We test both with a meter and replace whichever part has failed.
