# La Cornue surface burner and igniter service cost

### Why this is the cheapest real repair on the range

Because the parts are small and the access is from the front. An electrode, a ceramic, a burner cap and crown are components you can hold in one hand, and on a range designed to be serviced for decades they are meant to be replaced. What pushes the figure up is quantity — a range where every electrode has aged out at once — or a diagnosis that turns out to be the ignition module or the gas supply rather than the burner.

What moves this figure

One burner or all of them changes the figure

The parts are stocked and it is usually one visit

A whole-top ignition module is a different and rarer figure

How many burners

One is local and cheap. All of them points at the module or the supply, and that is a bigger part.

Which module

A plaque burner or a grill burner is out of sight and takes longer to reach than a surface burner.

What caused it

Moisture after a cleaning costs nothing to correct. A cracked ceramic is a part.

Whether the ports are damaged

Cleared, they cost nothing. Enlarged by somebody's wire, the crown is a part.

A range converted to propane with approximate parts turns this into the conversion job instead.

### Is it cheaper if I take the burner apart before you come?

No, and please do not. What genuinely helps is telling us how many burners are affected and whether anything was cleaned in the last few days — that is the difference between bringing an electrode and bringing an ignition module. Taking a burner apart and leaving it apart mostly adds reassembly to the visit.

### The burner works with a match. Cheaper?

Usually yes, because it tells us the gas train and the valve are fine and the problem is purely in the ignition. That is the low end of this figure. Say it when you book.
