Specialized La Cornue Appliance Repair in San Francisco
Mon–Sat: 8:00 AM – 7:00 PM
The Outer Richmond runs out to the ocean in rows of 1930s to 1950s houses and duplexes, with salt in the fog and garages at street level.
Tell us the appliance and what it is doing — we confirm a visit window for your Outer Richmond address before anyone comes out. Prefer to talk? Call us.
We take requests in this part of the city for:
Houses are a mix of single-family homes and duplexes, usually with a garage below and an entry stair up. Street parking is easy most days, though it fills near the beach on weekends.
Remodeled kitchens in the neighborhood most often hold these.
A large range in an upstairs kitchen, gas or dual fuel. Common calls: an ignition that fails, flames that burn unevenly and an oven that cools while baking.
A rangetop in a counter run with a separate oven. Burner heads that are damp from cleaning, or caps set at a slant, are frequent causes.
Hoods vented through the outer wall, where salt air can load the cap and slow the airflow.
Owners tell us about:
The fog carries salt across all of the Outer Richmond. Anything exposed, such as an outer vent cap or a patio fixture, ages faster than the same part inland, and a garage freezer or spare oven works harder in the damp. When we visit, we look at those external points along with the range when the symptom suggests them.
Inside the house, the range itself is protected, but trim made of brass or nickel will show tarnish from damp air more readily than from a dry kitchen, and owners ask us about it. We tell you what we see and what the options are before anything is touched.
Our visits run in a set order: description of the problem, plate, diagnosis, written estimate, your approval. Anything after that is up to you.
A plate with the model and serial lets us identify the series quickly. It usually sits behind a lower door or drawer, on the frame behind the oven door, or under the front edge of the cooktop. If a range was moved or modified at some point, a photo of the plate and the surrounding cabinetry is even better.

Please tell us whether the kitchen is up a flight of stairs from the garage or street. Tell us also if the fault appears on the first use of the day or only after the range has been on for a while.
A cold, damp house can change how a range behaves in the morning. Note that in your request if it applies.
A clear path to the range and a free counter next to it make the work faster.
It acts most on exposed metal and outer vents. Keep burner caps and heads dry and seated, and clean hood filters.
Yes. Name each unit and where it is installed.
Near the beach, yes. Ask us for a weekday slot if you can manage it.
In writing, after the diagnosis. The repair does not begin until you accept.
