Longwood

The Longwood and Cottage Farm blocks hold Victorian rowhouses and early apartment buildings right up against the Boston line. Kitchens sit on upper floors off narrow service stairs, and shared ductwork limits where a hood can vent.

    Say what it is doing

    The model number off the plate behind the kick panel or inside the door, plus the symptom in your own words. Most faults are half-diagnosed before anyone leaves.

  2. A gas range in white cabinetry with a burner base exposed and its cap set aside, the oven door down on empty racks

    Readings in your kitchen

    Gas pressure at the manifold, spark and flame sense burner by burner, element and sensor resistance, cavity temperature across a full preheat, blower current on a hood.

  3. A burner ring, bracket, retaining clip and screws laid out on a towel beside a wire brush, pliers, a nut driver and three screwdrivers

    A figure before it opens

    Parts and labour as one number, with the alternative if there is one. If the honest answer is that it is not worth repairing, you will be told that instead.

    The sparker would not stop once a burner was lit, which drove us mad through every dinner. Grease had worked into the switch behind one knob. He stripped it back, cleaned the contacts and refitted the caps square.

    A rattle from the duct transition above the liner every time the fan started. Loose bracket, missing screw from the original install. Ten minutes, and the damper got checked too.

    Rowhouse kitchen two floors up a narrow service stair, and the range has almost no clearance to the cabinets. A red knob glow with no flame turned out to be the spark module, not the gas valve I dreaded.
