Cooktop, oven and ice machine repair in Lafayette
Our case library holds six Lafayette repairs. Three are home cooking appliances: an induction cooktop, a built-in microwave and an oven with a gas broil burner. Each involved a different part.
Three cooking problems, three different parts
Two zones on the left of a five-zone Monogram induction cooktop showed an error and quit. The coils were not the problem. The left-side power board that drives both zones had failed, and a new board brought every zone back.
A Thermador microwave on top of a combination wall oven ran normally but did not heat. One of its door switches was faulty, and the heating circuit stays off unless the switches report the door closed. After a new switch and several test cycles, it heats.
A Dacor range was unusually slow to reach temperature on Convection Bake. The owner already had a replacement broil igniter on hand, and we installed it and watched it glow under the burner. Igniters wear slowly and light the burner later as they go, but the case stops at the install and does not report the heat-up time afterward.
Three more Lafayette cases are on our site. A Blodgett commercial oven had a defective thermostat. We replaced it, and the oven works. A Hoshizaki DCM-270BAH ice and water dispenser that had stopped completely had a minor electrical fault, which we corrected before cleaning its condenser coil. And a Miele dishwasher door that kept springing open turned out to be a loose piece of the upper rack, not the latch.
Seven Lafayette job records
Seven Lafayette jobs appear in our records for November 2024 to October 2026 on premium or commercial equipment. Monogram appears twice; Hoshizaki, JennAir, Miele, Thermador and Viking once each. Four of the seven closed in October 2026.
We have not matched the published cases to these records, so the two should not be added together. A record means the job was closed, not that a part was replaced.
Before your Lafayette appointment
For a cooktop, note which zones or burners fail and whether an error code shows. For an oven or microwave, say whether it runs without heating, heats slowly or will not start. Those three complaints point to different parts.
You pay $99 for the diagnostic visit, and that includes a look at any other appliance on the same trip. If you approve the repair, the $99 is deducted from it.
