La Cornue Repair · Bay Area

Yes, we service La Cornue. There aren’t many in the Bay Area, and the honest advice for an owner is short.

La Cornue builds cooking equipment only, no fridge or dishwasher. The Chateau range cookers come in gas, dual-fuel, and induction, then the CornuFe 30 and 43 below them and the Grand Palais up top. What actually fails is ordinary. Burner and ignition faults on the gas side, an oven thermostat or element that has drifted, hinge and gasket wear on the heavy cast doors, and on the induction Chateau it’s usually the control board.

The one real issue is parts. Most components special-order from France, so lead times run long. That’s exactly why you don’t want anyone guessing. We diagnose to the exact failed part and give you a realistic timeline before a single thing is ordered. A range specified for the room like this is worth fixing properly, so the answer is almost always repair.

Gas work is licensed under CSLB #1136642 and we bring a gas-leak detector. The $75 diagnostic covers the full workup and is credited to the repair, and you get a written repair-or-replace call and price once we’ve seen it. Schedule a visit.
