Our licensed technicians specialize in repairing Tappan’s most popular home appliances. Whether it’s a minor issue or a complex malfunction, we deliver fast, effective service for:
🔧 Common Issues
Tappan appliances — especially older ovens, stoves, and ranges — were built under Frigidaire (Electrolux), so many failure modes align with legacy U.S. electric and gas cooking systems. Common issues include:
- Electric ovens not heating – failed bake or broil element, or open-limit thermostat
- Gas ovens not igniting – worn igniter not drawing enough amps to open the safety valve
- Burners clicking constantly – stuck spark module or wet electrode insulators
- Oven temperature off by 50°F+ – bad oven sensor (RTD) or drifted analog thermostat
- No display / blank clock – failed transformer or shorted PCB capacitor
- Cooktop knobs melt or discolor – heat migration from poor insulation or gasket failure
- Door not closing/sealing – worn hinge spring or collapsed door gasket
- Oven stuck in preheat loop – relay board not sending full voltage to element
👍 Pros About Appliance (Repair-Focused)
- Simple analog systems: No firmware, no software — just test, replace, and go
- Shared parts with Frigidaire/Electrolux: Heating elements, sensors, and switches are cross-compatible
- Standard oven sensors: RTD probes test at 1090Ω @ 75°F — quick to check and swap
- Accessible spark systems: Universal igniters and modules can be retrofitted easily
- Relay boards repairable: Open-style boards with swappable relays (no potted resin)
- Durable build quality: Older units built with heavy steel frames, robust wiring
- Low part cost: Igniters, thermostats, and knobs are inexpensive and widely available
- Easy panel removal: Rear and bottom panels secured with standard hex screws — no glued panels or hidden fasteners
Repairs focus on manual testing: ohm checks on elements, voltage tracing through relays, and amperage draw on igniters. Tappan units have no digital diagnostics — they rely on traditional parts like infinite switches, analog thermostats, and simple spark modules. Most replacement parts are still available through Frigidaire cross-references. We provide full restoration services, from element and switch replacements to hinge, igniter, and control repairs.
