Stove acting up when you're about to cook dinner? You're not alone. Gas oven won't heat? Electric hob blinking like a disco ball? Most stove issues are way simpler than you think. We've helped hundreds of Taunton households fix their stoves in under 15 minutes—no plumber or electrician needed. Let's get your kitchen back on track.
First check: is the gas valve turned on? Sometimes it gets accidentally bumped off. Next, clean the igniter—grime from cooking makes it sputter. Wipe it with a damp cloth, then try lighting again. If it's cracked or not glowing red, you'll need a new igniter (under £20 online). But if you smell gas? Turn everything off immediately and call a pro—don't risk it.
Blank display? Try this: unplug the hob for 60 seconds, then plug it back in. Works 90% of the time. If it's still acting weird, check if your circuit breaker tripped—especially if you've been using the microwave or kettle. If it buzzes or sparks, stop using it. That's not normal. And if your hob heats unevenly? It's probably a faulty heating element. Swap it yourself (we've got guides) or call us—no need to replace the whole hob.
Remember: if your oven temperature is way off (cake burnt outside but raw inside), test it with a cheap oven thermometer. If it's wrong, you'll need a new thermostat. And that weird smell when you use the oven? Stop immediately—it could mean a gas leak or electrical issue. Better safe than sorry. Most stove fixes are quick and cheap, but some things? You're better off calling a local expert. We're right here in Taunton ready to help if you're stuck—no long waits or crazy prices. Your dinner's waiting, so let's get that stove cooking again fast.
