Getting the Heart of the Kitchen Cooking Again
A range does more work than almost anything else in the house. It boils the morning oatmeal, sears the weeknight chicken and holds the holiday roast for hours. When a burner refuses to light or the oven sits lukewarm, the whole household feels it. We repair gas, electric, dual-fuel and induction ranges in Boulder houses, condos and rentals, from freestanding models in student apartments to slide-in and pro-style units in remodeled kitchens.
PointLine is a small, family-owned company based just down US-36 in Superior, so we are neighbors rather than a distant call center. Every visit starts with a $85 diagnostic that is credited toward the repair, and you get a firm quote before any work begins. We install genuine OEM parts and back the job with a 90-day parts and labor warranty. A range combines open flame or high-wattage heat with gas lines and electrical connections, which is exactly why it deserves a careful, correct repair rather than a guess.

Gas Smell, Runaway Burner or Pan Fire: What to Do
Safety comes before any thought of repair, and these steps follow general fire and gas safety practice.
#1
Cooking is the leading cause of home fires and fire injuries
37%
Nonconfined cooking fires where unattended equipment was the leading factor
- 1If you smell gasLeave the house with everyone inside, and do not touch light switches, appliances or anything that could spark. Once you are outside, call 911 or your gas utility. Do not go back in until they say it is safe, and only then book a repair.
- 2If a burner won't shut offIf the knob turns but the flame or element keeps going, shut off power at the breaker for an electric range, or close the gas shutoff behind the range if you can reach it safely. If you cannot reach a shutoff or you smell gas, leave and call from outside. Do not use the range again until it has been inspected.
- 3If a pan catches fireSlide a lid or baking sheet over the pan and turn off the heat, then leave it covered until it cools. Never pour water on a grease fire or try to carry the pan outside. If the fire spreads beyond the pan, get out and call 911.
- 4Stand by your panThe U.S. Fire Administration reports that cooking is, by far, the leading cause of home fires and home fire injuries. Unattended equipment was the leading factor in nonconfined home cooking fires, at 37%. Their advice is simple: stay with the stove while you cook, and keep a lid or baking sheet within reach.
Common Problems
Range and Stove Symptoms We Track Down
These are common causes; your technician confirms the real fault with testing before quoting the repair.
Burner clicks and won't stop
- Likely causes
- Moisture or food residue on the igniter, a cap sitting off-center, or a spark switch or spark module that is shorting.
- What we check
- We inspect the igniter and cap seating, then test the spark switches and module to find which circuit is calling for spark.
- Typical fix
- Cleaning and drying the burner assembly fixes many cases; otherwise we replace the faulty switch or spark module with a genuine part.
Gas burner sparks but never lights
- Likely causes
- A clogged burner port, a cracked igniter, or a cap and base that are misaligned so gas cannot reach the spark.
- What we check
- We check gas flow at the burner, the condition and gap of the igniter, and the fit of every burner component.
- Typical fix
- Typical fixes are clearing the ports, reseating the cap or replacing the igniter.
Weak, lifting or yellow flame
- Likely causes
- Dirty burner ports, a misadjusted air shutter, or a range that was never given its high-altitude setup per the manufacturer.
- What we check
- We look at flame color and shape on each burner and review how the range was configured for its gas type and elevation.
- Typical fix
- Cleaning ports and making the adjustments the manufacturer specifies usually restores a steady blue flame.
Electric coil or radiant element stays cold
- Likely causes
- A burned-out element, a failed infinite switch, or a loose or scorched terminal block or receptacle.
- What we check
- We test the element and the switch with a meter and inspect the wiring connections for heat damage.
- Typical fix
- Replacing the failed element, switch or terminal block restores heat, and we correct any damaged wiring we find.
Oven won't heat or bakes unevenly
- Likely causes
- A weak gas igniter, a failed bake or broil element, an out-of-range temperature sensor, or a convection fan that has stopped.
- What we check
- We measure igniter current or element resistance, check sensor readings and confirm actual oven temperature during a test cycle.
- Typical fix
- Most repairs involve replacing one igniter, element, sensor or fan motor, followed by a verification bake.
Dead controls or an error code
- Likely causes
- A failed control board, a stuck touchpad, a door lock fault, or a loose connection behind the panel.
- What we check
- We read the code against the manufacturer's service data and test the board, keypad and wiring harness before naming a cause.
- Typical fix
- The fix may be a keypad, a lock assembly or a control board, and we only replace the board when testing points to it.
Gas Burners & Igniters
Burners, Igniters and Elements Up Close
Most stovetop complaints come down to a handful of parts and how they are cleaned, seated and set up. Here is what is happening on top of your range and where your own hands should stop.
Clicking After a Spill
A gas range lights its burners with a spark, and liquid that reaches the igniter or the spark switch behind a knob can keep that spark firing. Often the clicking fades once the parts dry completely. If it continues for long after the stovetop is dry, or starts with no spill at all, a switch or spark module may be failing. Turn the knob fully off and let your technician test the circuit.
Caps, Flame Color and Altitude
Each burner cap has to sit flat and centered on its base, and a cap that is even slightly off can cause uneven flames or failed lighting., a healthy gas flame is mostly blue, while a lazy, yellow or sooty flame points to dirty ports, an air adjustment issue or missing high-altitude setup. Manufacturers publish their own altitude instructions, and we follow them for your model. Persistent yellow flames should be checked rather than ignored.
Pro-Style Sealed Burners
Sealed burners keep spills out of the range body, which makes cleanup easier but means the burner base, cap and igniter must line up precisely. Pro-style burners are often larger and more powerful, and some include dual-stacked designs for low simmering. Reassembling them in the wrong order after cleaning is a general cause of poor lighting. We disassemble and reseat them following the maker's design.
Coils, Radiant Tops and When to Call
On electric ranges, coil elements plug into receptacles, and radiant elements sit under a glass top controlled by switches. Swapping a coil into a known good spot helps show whether the element or the switch is the problem, but only with the range off and cool. Anything involving a cracked glass top, burnt wiring, the gas supply or opening panels is a job for your technician. If you are unsure, stop and call or text (720) 285-3573.

What This City Asks of a Range
A few things about Boulder shape how ranges are installed, used and serviced, and we keep them in mind on every visit.
Historic Houses with Modern Cooktops
Mapleton Hill is a designated historic district where more than half of the roughly 500 homes were built before 1910, and the city adopted a historic preservation code in 1974., kitchens in houses that old have usually been updated several times, so a current range may sit on gas or electrical connections installed decades apart. Your technician looks at how the range is supplied and seated, not just the part that failed. Careful work also matters in a home where original trim and flooring are worth protecting.
Cooking Over 5,000 Feet
Boulder sits at over 5,000 feet, under the Flatirons, with a dry climate typical of the Front Range., many gas ranges call for a high-altitude setup per the manufacturer's instructions, and a range that skipped that step can show flames that look wrong or burn unevenly. Water also boils at a lower temperature up here, which can make a healthy burner seem weak when it is working fine. We check the actual flame and setup before blaming a part.
Rentals Near Campus
University Hill, next to CU Boulder, is a center of off-campus student life, and many homes near campus are rentals. Shared kitchens tend to mean frequent use, boil-overs and knobs turned by many different hands. Spills that reach igniters and burner caps are a general cause of clicking and lighting trouble on gas ranges. Whether a tenant or an owner books the visit, the firm quote comes before any work.

Repair or Replace?
Is This Range Worth Another Repair?
The typical lifespan shown beside this section comes from an NAHB study, and it is a useful starting point, not a deadline. A range that is still within that window and needs an igniter, element or switch is usually a strong candidate for repair. The useful comparison is the cost of the repair against the price of a new unit plus delivery and installation. Because we give a firm quote before any work, you can weigh those numbers with real figures in hand.
Some factors tip the balance further. Slide-in, built-in and custom-paneled ranges are fitted to the cabinetry around them, which usually favors repair over a replacement that may not fit the opening. On the other side, an older range with a failed control board may face limited parts availability, and a new model can bring better efficiency or features you would actually use. Your technician will tell you plainly which way the evidence points.

Built-In & Luxury
Pro-Style and Dual-Fuel Ranges
We service premium and pro-style ranges from Wolf, Thermador, Viking, Dacor, Monogram, JennAir and Miele. Many of these pair gas burners on top with an electric oven below, so a single visit can mean diagnosing both a spark circuit and a heating element. Their sealed burners, built-in griddles and char grills each have their own igniters, valves and cleaning needs. We work from the manufacturer's service information for your specific model rather than treating every range the same.
These ranges are heavy, and their oven doors and hinges are built to match. Removing and rehanging a door, or sliding a large range out of its opening, takes care to protect the door, the cabinets and your floor. We use genuine OEM parts on premium models, because burner assemblies, igniters and door hinges are engineered to tight tolerances. That attention is what keeps a high-end range cooking the way it did on day one.
Before You Call
Five Safe Checks Before You Book
- 1Look at the breaker or the outletAn electric range with no power, or a gas range with no spark or clock, may simply have a tripped breaker or a loose plug.
- 2Reseat the burner capsWith the range off and cool, lift each cap and set it back flat and centered, since a crooked cap is a frequent reason a burner won't light.
- 3Let wet parts dryAfter a boil-over or cleaning, give the burners and igniters time to dry fully before deciding the igniter has failed.
- 4Check for a control lock or timerMany ranges have a control lock or delayed-start setting that can make the oven or panel seem dead.
- 5Try a known good spot for a coilWith the range off and cool, move a suspect coil element to another receptacle of the same size to see whether the element or the switch is at fault.

Joanne L.June 2026 · Google “This is a small owner-operated business, which is a big bonus as pricing is much more reasonable than using the chains or PE owned companies. Nick was accommodating, and installed a new evaporator fan in my GE Cafe fridge/freezer quickly and correctly. Highly recommend.”

FAQ
Range Questions from Local Kitchens
Range questions from Boulder homeowners.
Is my part of Boulder inside your service area?
Yes, we cover ZIP codes 80301, 80302, 80303, 80304 and 80305, plus 80310. That includes Table Mesa, Gunbarrel, North Boulder and South Boulder. We also serve nearby Superior, Louisville, Lafayette, Broomfield, Erie and Longmont.
My gas range came from a store out of state; was it set up for the elevation here?
It may not have been, since high-altitude setup is a step the installer has to perform per the manufacturer. At over 5,000 feet, a range without that setup can show flames that lift, flicker or burn yellow. Your technician can check the configuration against your model's instructions and make the specified adjustments.
Our Victorian house has an older kitchen; can you still service the range?
Yes, we repair ranges in historic homes, including Mapleton Hill houses built before 1910. Older kitchens often have connections added in different eras, so we look at how the range is supplied and seated along with the failed part. We also take care with original floors and trim when moving the range.
I rent out a house near campus; who should schedule the repair?
Either the owner or the tenant can book online or by calling or texting (720) 285-3573. The firm quote comes before any work, so it helps if the person who approves the repair is reachable during the visit. Heavy shared use on University Hill makes prompt repairs worth it before a small fault spreads.
Do you work on Wolf, Thermador and other pro-style ranges in Boulder?
Yes, we repair pro-style and dual-fuel ranges from Wolf, Thermador, Viking, Dacor, Monogram, JennAir and Miele. We use genuine OEM parts and the manufacturer's service information. Griddles, grills and sealed burners are all part of what we diagnose.
A burner clicked after I wiped the stovetop; do I need a service call?
Probably not right away, because moisture on the igniter or spark switch commonly causes clicking that stops once everything dries. Turn the knob fully off and give it time. If the clicking continues once the range is completely dry, or it began with no spill, book a visit.
