(469) 638-3215Oven not heating, gas burner won’t light, or the door stuck after self-cleaning? ALAS Appliance Repair fixes gas, electric and dual-fuel ovens, ranges and wall ovens across Denton, from the Downtown Denton Square and the US 380 corridor to Southridge, Robson Ranch and the UNT area.
Business Profile

Ovens in Denton come in every generation. The Oak-Hickory Historic District, about half a mile west of the Square, has some of the city’s oldest and largest houses, and many of their kitchens have been remodeled with slide-in or professional-style ranges that sit inside custom cabinetry. In smaller rentals near campus, a basic freestanding electric range is the norm, and it takes hard use from tenants who may not know that a heavy self-clean cycle is a frequent trigger for a blown thermal fuse or door lock failure.
When a gas oven takes a minute or more to light, a weakening bake igniter is the most likely reason. That repair involves the gas valve circuit, so it is technician work. When an electric oven bakes unevenly, the usual cause is a burned-out element or a temperature sensor that reads wrong. Wall ovens, common in newer and remodeled kitchens, sometimes have to be pulled from the cabinet for repairs. Please have the model number handy; look for a label behind the storage drawer or just inside the door.
Our Plano-based technicians cover Denton from the Downtown Denton Square and the I-35E, I-35W and US 380 corridors to the West Denton historic neighborhoods, Southridge, Robson Ranch, Preserve at Pecan Creek and the rentals around UNT and TWU.

Yes. Remodeled kitchens in Denton’s historic districts often have dual-fuel or professional-style ranges set into custom cabinets. Common repairs include igniters, burner valves, convection fans and temperature sensors. Let us know the brand and model when you book, and whether the range has been moved since it was installed, since gas connections in older houses can be tight to reach.
Self-clean runs at extreme heat for hours, and that is often the moment an aging fuse, lock motor or control finally gives out. Robson Ranch homes have been built from 2002 onward, so an original oven there may be well over a decade old. Do not keep restarting the cycle. A technician can test the fuse, lock and sensor, then tell you whether the parts are still available for that model.
Call your landlord or property manager first, since the range usually belongs to them. Uneven baking on an electric range is often a failed bake element or a sensor out of range, and a burner that will not heat may have a bad switch or receptacle. Once the owner approves the visit, we can diagnose it and explain the repair.
