DCS in Albany

DCS in Albany kitchens.

DCS is not a common find in Albany's compact bungalow kitchens, there just isn't the counter and hood clearance for a 36 or 48-inch RGS range in most of the stock along the Marin Avenue grid. When we do get a call, it's typically a larger remodel up on Albany Hill, where the lot allows for the bigger range and sometimes a matching DCS grill built into an outdoor kitchen.

On the units we've serviced, top-burner ignition faults and the oven's glow-bar igniter come up at close to the same rate. ZIP 94706, roughly 40 to 45 minutes out from San Ramon by way of I-580 or Highway 24 to I-80.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Top-burner ignition fault. Clicking with no spark, or a burner that keeps sparking after it lights, points to the spark electrode, the reignition module, the transformer, or the burner switch. We check each of those in order to find the actual fault.
Burner will not simmer or burns yellow. Jets restricted with debris, a burner sitting off its locating pins, or the wrong orifice size from a past propane conversion. We identify which one it is and correct it.
Grill or griddle module no flame. No flame on the GL grill or GD griddle module usually means a weak igniter or a stuck thermal valve. We test both and replace whichever failed.
Oven bake glow-bar igniter. The glow-bar heats up visibly but can't pull enough current to trip the safety valve open, so no gas reaches the burner. We replace the glow-bar and confirm the valve opens properly afterward.
