We smell gas near our Gaggenau cooktop. What should we do before calling you?

Leave the burners and switches alone and get out of the house. Call 911 and PG&E at 1-800-743-5000 from a safe distance. Once the utility has cleared the house, book a visit and we will leak-test the cooktop connections and the burner valves.

Can you work on a Gaggenau in a small older San Pablo kitchen?

Yes. Tight counters and older cabinets are normal work. We protect the floor and the counters, service the cooktop modules from above, and check the gas shutoff and connector before putting everything back.

Is it worth fixing a Vario gas module, or should we replace it?

Fix it. Each Vario module is its own unit, and the ignition and flame-safety parts are small and available through BSH. A new module also has to match the rest of the row in the counter.

Gaggenau in San Pablo

Gaggenau in San Pablo kitchens.

San Pablo sits on the plain between the Berkeley Hills and San Pablo Bay, and more of its housing went up between the 1940s and the 1960s than in any other era. A Gaggenau Vario gas cooktop set into one of those kitchens runs on a gas line that may be decades older than the cooktop. When a burner clicks and will not light, or lights and then goes out, we look at both.

Gas work is licensed under CSLB #1136642, and the gas-leak detector comes in with us. Our technician for San Pablo is based in Benicia. You pay a $99 diagnostic that is credited toward the repair, and you see the written quote before a part is touched.

Common repairs we handle.

Vario gas burner clicking but not lighting. The spark electrode, the igniter switch behind the knob and the spark module can each cause it. A cracked electrode, or a switch that got wet from a spill, is the first thing to rule out. We test each part in turn and replace the one that failed.
Burner lights, then dies when the knob is released. That is the flame-safety system. A thermocouple that has weakened or been knocked out of the flame no longer holds the safety valve open. We check its position, measure its output, and replace the thermocouple or the valve.
Combi-steam oven with a full tank that will not steam. The pump may not be drawing from the tank, or the steam generator may be scaled or failed. We check the tank seating and the pump, test the generator heater, and run a descale if the system needs one.
