What should we do if we smell gas near our La Cornue?

Leave the burners alone, get out of the house and call 911 and PG&E at 1-800-743-5000 from a safe distance, whether the smell is strong or faint. Once it's been made safe, book a visit, and our technician will test every connection with a leak detector.

Can you reach houses up the hill off San Pablo Dam Road?

Yes. Tell us about stairs, a steep drive or tight parking when you book. Most burner and oven work is done without moving the range far, and when it does come out, we protect the floor and move it with care.

Our La Cornue is older than the remodel around it. Is it still worth fixing?

In almost every case, yes. These ranges were built to order and last for decades with parts care. We diagnose it fully and give you the repair price and the parts wait in writing, so the decision is yours.

La Cornue in El Sobrante

La Cornue in El Sobrante kitchens.

Roughly three quarters of El Sobrante's housing went up between 1940 and 1979, and the homes run from old ranchettes to subdivisions climbing the hills above San Pablo Dam Road. A La Cornue gas range in one of those houses is rare, and if a burner lights but dies the moment you release the knob, a flame-safety sensor on that burner is the first suspect.

That sensor, a thermocouple, has to sit in the flame to hold the gas valve open, so a bent, dirty or worn one lets the burner go out. Our technician, based in Benicia and covering El Sobrante, carries a gas-leak detector and checks the connection behind the range on every gas call. The $99 diagnostic is credited toward the repair, and the quote comes in writing before any part is ordered from France.

Common repairs we handle.

Burner that goes out when the knob is released. We check that the thermocouple tip sits in the flame, clean it, and measure its output. A weak thermocouple or a failing magnet in the valve gets replaced, and we light the burner several times before we leave.
Faint gas smell behind the range. The connector and shutoff behind a range can be older than the range itself. If you smell gas, leave the house and call 911 and PG&E at 1-800-743-5000 from a safe distance before you call us. We test each fitting with a leak detector and soap, then tighten or replace the connector before any other work.
Voute oven fan rattling or stopping. A convection fan that rattles, slows or stops leaves the vaulted oven hot on one side. We check the blade, the motor bearings and the wiring at the back of the cavity, and order the motor only once it tests bad.
