When a gas appliance stops working properly, it is not something to ignore or guess your way through.

Gas Stove Repairs Pretoria
A faulty gas stove can disrupt your kitchen immediately. For households, it affects daily meals. For restaurants, takeaways, lodges, and catering companies, it can stop production and cost money every hour.
We repair common gas stove problems such as:
Gas burners not lighting
Weak or yellow flame
Burner keeps going out
Clicking ignition but no flame
Ignition not sparking
Gas smell near the stove
Uneven flame on one or more burners
Faulty control knobs
Stiff or broken gas valves
Blocked burner jets
Damaged thermocouples
Worn seals or loose fittings
Flame too high or too low
Stove not staying lit after releasing the knob
Our technicians inspect the appliance carefully before repair. We check the burner assembly, ignition system, valves, gas flow, flame behaviour, visible connections, and safety-related components. Where the issue points to a broader installation fault, we advise the safest next step.
Gas Oven Repairs Pretoria
Gas ovens need accurate temperature control and safe ignition. If the oven burns food, undercooks meals, takes too long to heat, or smells of gas, it should be inspected.
We repair gas oven faults such as:
Oven not heating
Oven heating too slowly
Oven flame goes out
Food cooking unevenly
Faulty thermostat
Ignition failure
Gas smell when oven is turned on
Pilot flame problems
Damaged oven burner
Faulty safety valve
Door seal issues affecting heat retention
Temperature not matching the selected setting
For domestic and commercial clients, we aim to restore safe heat performance while checking the appliance for obvious operating risks.
Gas Hob Repairs Pretoria
Built-in gas hobs are common in Pretoria homes, apartments, estates, and modern kitchens. Because they are connected into the kitchen setup, repair work must be done carefully.
We assist with:
Gas hob burner repairs
Ignition repairs
Thermocouple replacement
Burner cap and jet cleaning
Flame adjustment
Control knob repairs
Gas flow problems
Safety checks after repair
Advice on faulty or non-compliant hob installations
If your hob is newly installed but not working correctly, the fault may be with the appliance, connection, regulator, installation layout, or gas supply. We inspect the situation before recommending the correct repair.
Gas Geyser Repairs Pretoria
Gas geysers are useful for homes, cottages, staff accommodation, guest houses, rental properties, farms, and businesses that need hot water without relying only on electricity. When they fail, the problem may involve water flow, gas supply, ignition, sensors, ventilation, or internal components.
We repair gas geyser problems such as:
Gas geyser not igniting
No hot water
Water gets hot then cold
Geyser switches off during use
Low water temperature
Error codes
Weak flame
Battery ignition problems
Water pressure-related issues
Burner faults
Faulty sensors
Gas smell near the geyser
Poor ventilation concerns
Sooting or abnormal combustion signs
Gas geysers should not be forced to run when they are behaving abnormally. If you notice gas odour, soot marks, flame colour changes, or repeated shutdowns, switch the appliance off and arrange an inspection.
Gas Fireplace Repairs Pretoria
Gas fireplaces need clean burners, correct ignition, proper ventilation, and safe flame control. If your fireplace smells unusual, produces a weak flame, does not ignite, or switches off unexpectedly, it should be checked.
We assist with:
Gas fireplace ignition repairs
Pilot flame problems
Burner cleaning and servicing
Flame control issues
Gas valve faults
Thermocouple problems
Fireplace not staying lit
Unusual smells
Noisy operation
Safety checks before winter use
Pretoria winters can make gas fireplaces important for comfort, especially in homes, lodges, guest houses, offices, and hospitality spaces. A pre-winter fireplace service can reduce breakdowns and improve safety.
Gas Appliance Repairs for Restaurants and Commercial Kitchens in Pretoria
Restaurants, cafés, takeaways, bakeries, catering companies, lodges, schools, and canteens rely heavily on gas equipment. When a gas appliance fails, it can delay service, affect food quality, and cause safety concerns for staff and customers.

We understand that commercial kitchens need fast response, practical repair planning, and minimal downtime. Where possible, we prioritise urgent faults that affect trading, food production, or safety.

Our Gas Appliance Repair Process in Pretoria
1. Booking and Fault Description
You contact Major Appliance Repairs with your location in Pretoria, the type of gas appliance, brand if known, and the problem you are experiencing. Clear details help us prepare the right tools and likely parts.
2. On-Site Inspection
A technician visits your property and inspects the appliance. We check visible components, ignition behaviour, burner performance, flame condition, controls, and other fault indicators.
3. Safety-Focused Diagnosis
We identify whether the issue is caused by the appliance itself, a worn component, blocked burner, faulty ignition, poor gas flow, connection concern, or a broader installation issue.
4. Clear Repair Advice
Before major work proceeds, we explain the fault, the recommended repair, and whether the appliance is worth repairing. If replacement is safer or more economical, we will tell you.
5. Repair and Testing
We carry out the approved repair, replace faulty parts where needed, clean serviceable components, and test the appliance after completion.
6. Usage and Maintenance Guidance
After the repair, we give practical advice on safe use, warning signs, and when to schedule future servicing.

Safety and Gas Compliance Matter
Gas appliance repairs must be handled with care. In South Africa, fixed LPG installations and related work may need to comply with national safety requirements, including SANS 10087 and registered gas practitioner requirements. SAQCC Gas maintains a database of authorised gas practitioners, and LPGSA notes that LPG installations should be handled by registered installers and that compliant installation work may require a Certificate of Conformity.
Major Appliance Repairs takes safety seriously. Where a repair involves the appliance only, we still test carefully after work is done. Where the fault appears linked to the gas line, installation, regulator, cylinder position, ventilation, or fixed connection, we advise on the correct compliant route.
A gas appliance repair is not only about making the flame come back. It is about making sure the appliance operates safely and reliably after the repair.
Emergency Gas Appliance Repairs Pretoria
Some gas appliance faults can wait for a scheduled appointment. Others should be treated as urgent.

A commercial gas appliance fails during operating hours
A gas oven flame keeps going out
A gas appliance has been damaged during renovations or moving

Why Pretoria Clients Call Us for Gas Appliance Repairs
Pretoria has many older homes, new estates, commercial kitchens, student accommodation properties, restaurants, offices, and rental units. Gas appliances are used differently in each setting. A home gas hob may need ignition repair, while a restaurant range may need urgent burner servicing. A guest house may need a gas geyser repaired quickly before check-in time. A property manager may need safe inspection before a tenant moves in.
Major Appliance Repairs understands these different needs. We do not use a one-size-fits-all approach. We look at the appliance, how it is used, the fault symptoms, and the safety risk before recommending the best repair.

Do you repair gas stoves in Pretoria?
Yes. Major Appliance Repairs provides gas stove repairs in Pretoria for homes, restaurants, rental properties, guest houses, and commercial kitchens. We repair ignition faults, weak flames, burners not lighting, gas smell concerns, faulty knobs, burner jets, thermocouples, and other common stove problems.
Can you repair a gas oven that is not heating properly?
Yes. We repair gas ovens that are not heating, overheating, heating unevenly, cutting out, or failing to ignite. We check the thermostat, burner, ignition system, flame behaviour, door seal, and related components before recommending the repair.
Do you repair gas geysers in Pretoria?
Yes. We repair gas geysers that do not ignite, produce no hot water, switch off during use, show error codes, or deliver inconsistent water temperature. We also inspect safety-related warning signs such as soot, abnormal flame, or gas smell near the appliance.
Is a gas smell from my appliance dangerous?
A gas smell should always be treated seriously. Turn off the appliance and gas supply if safe, ventilate the area, avoid flames and electrical switches, and arrange professional help. Do not keep testing the appliance yourself.
Do you offer emergency gas appliance repairs in Pretoria?
Yes, emergency support is available where technicians are available. Urgent faults include gas smells, commercial kitchen breakdowns, gas geyser shutdowns, faulty fireplaces, and appliances that will not ignite safely.
Can you repair both domestic and commercial gas appliances?
Yes. We assist domestic clients and commercial clients across Pretoria. This includes homes, restaurants, cafés, takeaways, guest houses, schools, offices, lodges, rental properties, and light industrial sites.
Do you install gas appliances as well?
We assist with gas appliance installations where the work can be completed safely and compliantly. Fixed gas installations may require registered gas work and a Certificate of Conformity depending on the installation type.
Which gas appliance brands do you repair?
We repair many common brands, including Bosch, Defy, Smeg, Elba, Whirlpool, AEG, Siemens, Ariston, Rinnai, Paloma, Dewhot, Kwikot, Totai, Cadac, Kelvinator, Hisense, Miele, Gaggenau, Jetmaster, and Megamaster.
Why does my gas stove click but not light?
This may be caused by a faulty ignition switch, dirty burner, moisture near the ignition point, blocked jet, weak spark, poor gas flow, or a damaged ignition module. A technician can test the cause and repair the correct component.
Why does my gas geyser switch off while I am showering?
Common causes include low water pressure, poor gas supply, blocked components, faulty sensors, ventilation problems, battery ignition issues, or internal safety shutdowns. The appliance should be inspected instead of repeatedly restarted.
Do you service gas fireplaces before winter?
Yes. We provide gas fireplace servicing and repairs before and during winter. Servicing can include ignition checks, burner cleaning, flame checks, control inspection, and general safety checks.
Can you help restaurants with urgent gas appliance breakdowns?

Do you provide same-day gas appliance repairs in Pretoria?

Should I repair or replace my gas appliance?
Repair is usually worthwhile when the appliance is structurally sound, parts are available, and the repair cost is reasonable compared with replacement. Replacement may be better if the appliance is unsafe, badly corroded, very old, or repeatedly failing.
Do you cover Pretoria East and Pretoria North?
