What's the most common gas range issue?
A weak or failed burner igniter — an inexpensive, quick $100–$220 repair. If your burner takes several seconds to light or clicks repeatedly without igniting, that's almost always the igniter.
When is a gas range issue a safety concern, not just a repair decision?
If you smell gas without the burner running, or notice a consistently yellow (rather than blue) flame, stop using that burner and call a technician immediately — this can indicate a gas valve or air-mixture issue.
Does the repair-vs-replace math still apply to gas ranges?
Yes — repairs under half the cost of a comparable new range (starting around $700–$900) are almost always worth it, especially since igniter failures, the most common issue, are inexpensive.
