We are in the Millbrae hills near Hillsborough. Do you come out this far for one range?

Yes. That stretch along the Hillsborough border is regular ground for us, since Hillsborough itself is one of our standing luxury-appliance stops. From San Ramon it is about an hour over the San Mateo Bridge, and we pair your visit with nearby calls so scheduling stays flexible, 7 days a week.

How long do ILVE parts really take to arrive?

Common ignition and thermocouple parts are often available domestically within days. Model-specific controls and trim pieces can take a few weeks from Italy, and I tell you which case you are in before you commit. The written quote states the lead time so there are no surprise waits.

Another company already replaced two parts and the range still fails. Can you pick it up from there?

That is a familiar starting point on ILVE. I retest from scratch rather than trusting the previous diagnosis, and more often than not the original fault is still sitting there untouched. You get my findings in writing, and the diagnostic fee folds into the repair when you approve it.

ILVE in Millbrae

ILVE in Millbrae kitchens.

ILVE makes beautiful Italian ranges, the brass-trim Nostalgie and the Majestic and Professional Plus lines, and they are also one of the more demanding brands to keep running. In Millbrae we see them up toward the Hillsborough line, in remodeled and estate kitchens where the owner wanted the look of a hand-finished Italian range as the room's centerpiece.

We know the failure patterns, which matters because an ILVE punishes a parts-swap-and-hope approach. The spark modules, thermocouples, and oven controls are ILVE-specific, imported, and unforgiving of guesswork. A tech who condemns the wrong part on an ILVE costs you weeks of shipping and a second labor bill, so I diagnose to the component with a meter before anything gets ordered.

Every ILVE job starts with the $75 diagnostic, waived when you approve the repair, and a written quote that includes realistic import lead times for any part. Repairs carry a 1 year warranty, and we treat the brass and enamel like it costs what it costs.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Continuous clicking from spark module and switch faults. The classic ILVE complaint: igniters click endlessly after a burner lights, or click with no burner on at all. Moisture in a burner switch or a leaking spark module is usually the cause. I isolate which switch or module is grounding out rather than replacing the whole ignition set, because on ILVE that set is imported money.
Oven burner won't stay lit from thermocouple failure. ILVE ovens use flame-supervision thermocouples, and when one drifts the oven lights, runs a minute, and dies. Owners often blame the gas valve. I test the thermocouple's millivolt output under flame first, since the correct order of diagnosis here saves a several-hundred-dollar valve from being replaced for nothing.
Temperature drift and thermostat calibration. A Nostalgie or Majestic oven that bakes 40 degrees off turns a hand-built range into a frustration. I verify actual cavity temperature against the dial with a calibrated probe, then recalibrate or replace the thermostat. On a range this expensive, cooking around the error is not a plan.
