A La Cornue range in a West Portal house

These are family homes, many with a kitchen at the back and a garage below or beside. The range is often the largest appliance in the room, set in a bay with a hood overhead. Because access is simple, we can usually bring what we need in one trip and work with the range in place.

A common feature here is a second refrigerator or a freezer in the garage. It sits near the gas meter or the electrical panel in many houses, which is useful to know if a fault seems to involve the supply to the kitchen. We keep our attention on the range, but a note about the panel or meter position is welcome.

After diagnosing, we put the findings and the estimate in writing. You decide whether to go ahead.

Why we ask for the plate

Different La Cornue series use different parts. If you can find the plate, a photo of it settles the question. Look behind a lower door or drawer, on the frame behind the oven door, or beneath the front edge of the cooktop.

Simple checks before you book

From the outside you can look at whether the range has power, whether the breaker has tripped, and whether the gas shut-off valve is open. Burner caps and heads should sit flat and dry, and a cap that is dirty can be cleaned with care. On the hood, wash the filters if they are greasy.

Beyond these steps leave the range alone. Do not open panels or touch any gas fitting, and note what you see so we can use it in the diagnosis.
