(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 Richardson, from Main Street and the US 75 corridor to Richardson Heights, Canyon Creek and Cottonwood Heights.
Business Profile

Built-in wall ovens turn up in some of Richardson’s midcentury homes, including in Richardson Heights and Cottonwood Heights, where many houses date from the 1950s and 1960s. Oven cutouts from that era often differ from current sizes, so a replacement may require cabinet work. That makes repair worth checking first, especially for elements, sensors and controls that are still made. If an older oven has already been replaced once, the model now in the wall is usually the place to start.
Self-clean cycles trigger many failures in ovens of every age, since the intense heat can be the last straw for a tired thermal fuse, lock motor or control board. If your oven stopped working right after a self-clean, say so when you book. Gas ovens that light slowly usually have a weak bake igniter, and any gas valve repair should be done by a technician. Electric ovens that run hot or bake unevenly often have a failed element or a temperature sensor that has drifted out of range.
Our Plano-based technicians cover Richardson from Main Street and the US 75, Belt Line, Campbell and Arapaho corridors to Richardson Heights, Canyon Creek, Cottonwood Heights, the Reservation, Duck Creek and Prairie Creek.

Often, yes. Cottonwood Heights includes homes from the 1960s, and some wall ovens there have been replaced once or twice while keeping the same opening. Many older models can still get new elements, sensors, igniters and some controls. After a diagnosis, we confirm part availability and give an honest view on whether the repair suits the oven’s age.
Yes. We cover east Richardson, including Duck Creek near Arapaho and Jupiter roads and University Estates near Belt Line and Plano Road, where sampled homes date from the early to mid 1970s. Tell us if the oven runs on gas or electricity, and look for the model tag, often found behind the storage drawer or on the frame inside the door.
Usually. An oven that runs consistently hot or cold often has a temperature sensor out of range or a control that needs calibration, and both are routine repairs. Check it with an oven thermometer at a few settings first. If the gap is large or changes from one bake to the next, a technician can test the sensor, the elements or igniter and the control.
