La Cornue repair in Wellington
Equestrian properties and family neighborhoods, many with a second kitchen or a utility room well away from the main one. Those are the appliances that go unnoticed longest.
We cover Wellington and the rest of Palm Beach: an on-site diagnostic first, the price agreed in writing before anything is opened, and the exact figure confirmed once we have seen the unit.
By unit
What we repair in Wellington, by La Cornue unit
Start with whichever matches yours. How an appliance is installed shapes the visit as much as the repair does, which is why we ask about it when you book.

Dual fuel · gas · all-induction — Château, Châtelet, Castel, Grand Palais, CornuFé La Cornue range repair in Wellington
The range is what La Cornue makes, and everything else in the line exists around it. A Château is built to order in France, arrives in a crate weighing over half a ton, and is assembled from parts a customer chose one at a time: which oven is gas and which is electric, whether the top carries a French top, a lava-rock grill, induction or a teppanyaki plate, which of about fifty enamels, which trim metal. Two of them are almost never identical. That is the first thing a repair on one has to take seriously — the model number tells you the size, and the configuration code tells you what is actually under the lids.
- Dual fuel, all gas or all induction — three different ranges, three parts lists
- The configuration code, not just the model, decides what is on the top
- Made-to-order enamel and trim are part of the job, not an extra

Vaulted ovens and convection ovens — gas, electric, and the Tourelle wall oven La Cornue oven repair in Wellington
There are three different ovens on this make and they fail in three different ways. The vaulted gas oven cooks by radiant heat inside a sealed dome and has an electric broiler over it. The vaulted electric oven sits on the other side of the same range. And since 2025 there is a standalone one: the Château Tourelle, a fully electric multifunction wall oven in 60 and 75 centimeter widths, built to sit in a cabinet run next to a Château cooktop. Which of the three you have decides everything about the repair.
- Vaulted gas, vaulted electric and the electric Tourelle wall oven
- Gas ovens carry an electric broiler — browning and baking can fail separately
- Thermostat drift is measured against a probe, never adjusted by feel

Brass gas burners · plaque coup de feu · lava-rock grill · induction · teppanyaki La Cornue cooktop repair in Wellington
A La Cornue cooktop is a set of modules chosen at order time and dropped into a stainless frame: brass gas burners at 17,000 and 7,500 BTU, a 22,000 BTU power burner, the cast-iron plaque coup de feu heated by a single burner underneath, a lava-rock grill, ceramic-glass induction zones, an electric teppanyaki plate. This is the top of a range, and each module is a different repair. Sold on its own without ovens beneath it, the same top is a rangetop, and it has its own page.
- Gas, induction, French top, grill and teppanyaki modules on one frame
- Induction is the only half of this line that shows a code — E2, U400, Er
- A cracked glass hob is disconnected first and diagnosed second

T40 to T48 · 200 mm into the counter · the same modules, no ovens beneath La Cornue rangetop repair in Wellington
A rangetop is the top half of a La Cornue sold in its own right: the same brass burners, the same plaque coup de feu, the same grill, induction and teppanyaki modules, in a stainless frame 200 mm deep that drops into a counter with nothing underneath it. T40 through T48, from 600 to 1800 mm wide. Every cooktop repair applies to it and no oven repair does — which makes it the simplest appliance in the line and the one most often confused with the range on a booking.
- T40 to T48 — the same configuration codes as the range
- No ovens, no oven thermostats, no door seals
- Much lighter than a range, so the one job that prices weight rarely applies

Château motorized hoods H11–H20 · island hoods · inserts · CornuFé Cascade, Euclid, Loge, Marquee La Cornue range hood repair in Wellington
The hood over a La Cornue is not an accessory bought to match. A motorized Château hood starts at $17,400 for the 90 and runs past $25,000 for the Grand Palais 180, it is made in the same enamels and trims as the range, and it does real work: a 600 CFM blower on a four-speed variable motor, baffle filters with a grease capture system, three 20-watt lights and a remote. When one stops, the kitchen it was built for stops working properly.
- Motorized Château hoods, island hoods and inserts, plus the CornuFé collection
- 600 CFM blower, four-speed variable motor, baffle filters, remote control
- A hood is finished to match the range — the enamel is part of the repair
By job
The repairs we are called out for in Wellington
Starting figures for this equipment in South Florida. What moves them is the model, the access and the part — the exact cost is confirmed after the on-site diagnostic.
-
from $255 Oven element and broiler replacement
Every vaulted gas oven on this make carries an electric broiler above it, and the electric ovens are elements throughout. That means a range can lose browning and keep baking perfectly, or the reverse, and the two are separate parts.
- Bake and broil are separate circuits and separate failures
- Elements measured cold and under load
- Element supports and terminals checked, because that is where they burn out
-
from $185 Oven thermostat calibration
An oven that has drifted hot over years, and a cook who has quietly rewritten every recipe around it. The manual is explicit: an oven that gets hotter as the range ages and does not come back when the dial is turned down wants a thermostat, not a new habit.
- Measured with a calibrated probe through a full cycle
- Drift distinguished from a vaulted oven's designed unevenness
- The owner warned that a corrected oven changes their cooking
-
from $275 Vaulted gas oven ignition repair
The vaulted gas oven has no display, no window and no error code — La Cornue's own Château guide contains no troubleshooting section at all. So an oven that will not light is diagnosed the way gas has always been diagnosed: igniter, safety valve, thermocouple, supply, in that order and with instruments.
- A glowing igniter that never opens the valve is the classic failure here
- Safety valve and flame supervision measured rather than swapped
- Same-day priority — an oven that smells of gas is not a next-week call
-
from $285 Flamberge rotisserie repair
The gas rotisserie module: a burner, a motor, a spit and a set of controls, and a module that sits idle for months and is then expected to work on a holiday. Motor failures, a burner that will not light and a spit that will not turn under load are the three calls.
- Motor and gearing tested under a loaded spit, not empty
- The rotisserie burner treated as its own gas circuit
- Spit, forks and bearings checked for the wear that stops rotation
-
from $265 Enamel panel and trim service
Vitreous enamel is glass fused to steel and about fifty colors of it were available at order time. A chip is not cosmetic in this climate — the steel under it rusts outwards — and a tarnished brass handrail attacked with the wrong product loses its lacquer along with the tarnish.
- Chips stabilized or the part ordered in the range's own color reference
- Brass, copper, nickel and chrome trim treated by what they actually are
- Clear-coated finishes identified before anything is polished
-
from $395 Range relocation and leveling
Moving a hand-built French range is a planned job. A Grand Palais 180 is about 710 lb uncrated, the legs are adjustable across half an inch of specified height, and a range that is out of level cooks unevenly in a way that looks exactly like an oven problem.
- Enough people and the right equipment, or it does not get moved
- Leveled to specification and verified with water on the shelf
- Gas and electrical disconnected and reconnected properly, not stretched

La Cornue repair in Wellington, in more detail
What La Cornue equipment is like in Wellington
Equestrian properties and family neighborhoods, many with a second kitchen or a utility room well away from the main one. Those are the appliances that go unnoticed longest.
Wellington sits in Palm Beach County, and the equipment here follows the housing: older kitchens with appliances fitted into openings that were cut for something else, and newer ones where they were specified with the cabinetry. Both are La Cornue work — cooktops and rangetops, ovens, range hoods — and both are diagnosed on site before anything is priced.
Heat, grease and power cuts — what they do to burners and vents
Inland it is heat and grease rather than salt. A range in a kitchen that runs air conditioning for nine months of the year lives in a hotter cabinet than its designer assumed, and grease that condenses in a hood liner instead of leaving through it comes back as a fan that labors and a filter that no longer filters. In Wellington most of what we are called out to is a burner, an igniter or a control that has been asked to work in that for years.
What that means for the appliances in Wellington
- Ranges — A family range is used harder than any other appliance in the house, and the parts that go are the ones handled every day — igniters, knobs, door hinges.
- Houses here often run more than one of the same appliance, and the second one is the one that goes unnoticed longest. If there is a second at the address, say so when you book — seeing both on one visit costs less than two visits.
- Oven cooks unevenly
- Cracked French top plate
- Burner will not light
- Oven will not light
- Gas smell in the kitchen
How a visit in Wellington is arranged
We ask for the model number from the plate inside the door and a line about what the appliance is doing. That decides which parts ride in the van, and it is the difference between one appointment and two.
- How the appliance is built in, and whether it has ever been pulled out before
- Whether there is a second one — a bar, a pantry, a garage or an outdoor kitchen
- Whether the gas is propane or natural, which decides the orifices and the parts that ride in the van
- The diagnosis first, then the scope and the price in writing, and your approval before anything is opened
What it costs, and what moves the figure
Prices in Wellington are the same as everywhere else we cover: a diagnostic from $95 that is credited toward the repair, and starting figures per job rather than one number for "a repair". What moves it is the model, how the appliance is built into the cabinetry, which part it needs and how quickly that part can be sourced — none of which can be judged over the phone. The repairs we carry out lists what each job involves and the figure it starts at, and the unit pages covers what tends to go wrong on each type.
The exact cost is confirmed after the on-site diagnostic and agreed with you before any work begins. We are an independent repair company — not affiliated with, authorized by, or endorsed by any manufacturer — and our warranty covers the labor we performed.
Before you book
Questions about a visit in Wellington
Do you cover Wellington?
Yes. Wellington is in Palm Beach County and inside the area we work every week. Give us the address when you book, and say how the La Cornue is installed — what has to come apart to reach it matters as much as where it is.
How soon can you get to Wellington?
We will tell you the earliest slot we can genuinely keep rather than the earliest one that sounds good. Tell us the model number and what the unit is doing when you book: whether we can finish the same day depends on the part far more than on the drive.
Does it cost more because the job is in Wellington?
No. The diagnostic and the work are priced the same across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach. What moves the figure is the model, how the unit is built in and which part it needs — never the address. Where access takes longer, we say so before anything is agreed rather than after.
What do you need from me before the visit in Wellington?
The model number from the data plate, a photograph of the display if anything is showing on it, and a line about what the unit is doing. Those three decide which parts a technician brings, and they are the difference between one visit and two.
Booking a visit in Wellington
Tell us the model number and what the unit is doing. We will bring the parts that problem usually needs, and you will have a firm price before we start.
