Gas Oven Repair Across Toronto & GTA — TSSA Licensed
Fixlify Appliance Services provides professional gas oven repair throughout the Greater Toronto Area. The gas oven igniter is the single most frequently replaced part in residential gas cooking — it is also the most commonly misdiagnosed. Many homeowners (and some technicians) assume a gas oven that will not heat has a faulty gas valve, but in over 80% of cases, the igniter glow bar is the actual culprit. Our TSSA-licensed technicians test the igniter amperage draw before recommending any replacement — a methodical approach that avoids unnecessary parts swaps. Call (437) 524-1053 for same-day gas oven repair.
Gas Safety Warning — Read This First
If you smell gas in your home:
- Leave immediately — do not turn on or off any lights, switches, or appliances
- Do not use your phone inside — any electrical spark can ignite gas
- Call 911 from outside your home
- Call Enbridge Gas Emergency at 1-866-763-5427
- Do not re-enter until Enbridge or fire department clears the home
Never attempt DIY gas appliance repairs. All gas appliance work in Ontario must be performed by a TSSA-licensed gas fitter. Improper repairs can cause carbon monoxide poisoning, gas leaks, fires, and explosions.
TSSA-Licensed Gas Appliance Technicians — Ontario Requirement
All gas appliance repairs in Ontario must be performed by a TSSA-licensed gas fitter. The Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) regulates gas work across the province to protect homeowners from carbon monoxide exposure, gas leaks, and fire hazards. Fixlify Appliance Services employs TSSA-certified technicians who carry valid G2 or G3 gas fitter licences — verified and current. When our technician arrives at your home, they can show their TSSA certification on request. This is not optional — it is Ontario law. Any company sending an unlicensed worker to repair your gas stove, gas dryer, or gas oven is breaking the law and putting your family at risk.
Our TSSA-licensed technicians undergo annual recertification and continuous training on new gas appliance technologies. We carry calibrated combustion analyzers to test carbon monoxide levels after every gas appliance repair — ensuring the repaired appliance burns cleanly and safely before we leave your home. We also inspect gas supply connections, flex connectors, and shut-off valves during every service call, because a gas appliance repair is an opportunity to verify the safety of the entire gas supply chain to that appliance.
Common Gas Oven Problems We Repair
- Igniter replacement (most common repair): The gas oven igniter — also called the glow bar or hot surface igniter — must draw at least 3.2 amps to open the gas safety valve. As the igniter ages, its amperage draw decreases. At 3.0 amps it still glows visibly orange but cannot open the valve — the oven looks like it is trying to heat but never does. We measure actual amperage with a clamp meter to confirm igniter failure before replacing. Cost: $150–$250 parts and labour.
- Bake igniter vs. broil igniter: Gas ovens have separate igniters for the bake burner (bottom) and broil burner (top). A failed bake igniter means the oven will not heat for normal cooking. A failed broil igniter means the broiler does not work but baking is fine. We identify which igniter has failed and replace only what is necessary. Both igniters have the same price range: $150–$250.
- Temperature sensor (oven thermistor): The temperature sensor monitors oven cavity temperature and signals the control board to cycle the gas burner on and off to maintain the set temperature. A faulty sensor causes temperature swings — the oven runs too hot, too cold, or cycles erratically. We test sensor resistance at room temperature (it should read approximately 1,080 ohms at 70°F for most brands) and replace if out of specification. Cost: $100–$180.
- Gas safety valve: The gas safety valve opens only when the igniter draws sufficient amperage. If the valve itself fails (rare compared to igniter failure), the oven will not heat even with a good igniter. We always test igniter amperage first to rule out the more common cause before recommending valve replacement. Cost: $180–$300.
- Self-clean cycle lockout: Gas ovens with self-clean function can develop door lock mechanism failures that either prevent the self-clean cycle from starting or — more problematically — lock the door and refuse to unlock after the cycle completes. We repair the door latch assembly and test the entire lock-unlock sequence. Cost: $120–$200.

Ask for TSSA certification before allowing any technician to work on your gas appliances.
What should I do if I smell gas from my gas oven in Toronto & GTA?
If you smell gas: leave your home immediately. Do not turn on or off any light switches, appliances, or phones inside the home — any spark can ignite gas. Call 911 from outside. Then call Enbridge Gas Emergency at 1-866-763-5427. Do not re-enter until Enbridge or fire department clears the home.

Can I repair a gas appliance myself in Toronto & GTA?
No — DIY gas appliance repair is illegal in Ontario and extremely dangerous. The TSSA requires all gas work to be performed by a licensed gas fitter.
