On the route · Boise & the Treasure Valley
The rest of the lineup
Same $99 diagnostic, same written quote, same written warranty on every machine we fix in Boise & the Treasure Valley.
A burner that clicks and never lights, an oven that reads 350°F and bakes at 300°F, a glass top with one dead zone. Sawtooth Appliance Service repairs stoves, ranges and wall ovens throughout the Treasure Valley. The technician meters the igniter, element or sensor, writes one number, and usually finishes from the truck the same visit.

The kitchens in this valley span a full century, and the range is where that shows. A 1915 Craftsman on Warm Springs Ave has a slide-in gas range fitted into a retrofitted kitchen. A 1985 ranch off Cloverdale Rd still runs a coil-top electric. A 2019 house in Lochsa Falls came with a builder-grade glass-top that is now out of warranty. A custom kitchen in the Eagle foothills has a Wolf range and a Thermador wall oven. From the shop at Five Mile Rd and Ustick Rd the truck reaches all of them in thirty minutes or less, and the technician carries the igniters, elements, sensors and switches that cover the ordinary brands, plus the training for the built-in lines.
The most common oven call in the valley is a Sunday roast that never got done. The oven preheats, the display says it is at temperature, and an hour later the meat is grey. On a gas oven that is a weak igniter that glows but never opens the gas valve fully, so the burner cycles short. On an electric oven it is a bake element with a burned spot or a temperature sensor drifting high. Either way the technician meters the part rather than trusting the display, checks the door gasket, and the oven is holding a real 350°F before the visit ends.
A spark module or igniter electrode fouled with grease, a wet electrode after a boil-over, or a burner cap sitting crooked. The technician cleans and meters the electrode, tests the module, and replaces whichever has failed. If every burner clicks at once, the spark switch on one knob is usually shorted.
On gas, a tired igniter that does not draw enough current to open the safety valve; on electric, a bake element or a temperature sensor reading wrong. The technician meters the igniter amps or the sensor resistance against the chart and replaces the part from the truck.
A burned coil element, a failed receptacle under the coil, or an infinite switch that has welded closed. A stuck-on burner is a safety call and gets same-week priority. The technician meters the switch and the element and replaces the failed one.
A radiant element with an open coil, a limiter that has failed, or the control board that drives that zone. The technician lifts the cooktop, meters the element and the limiter, and tells you in writing whether the board is the cause before any board gets ordered.
Convection ovens throw codes for a failed sensor, a stuck relay on the control board or a door lock that will not release after self-clean. The technician reads the code, meters the sensor and the lock, and confirms the board only after the cheaper parts are cleared.
On Sub-Zero, Wolf, Thermador, Viking, JennAir, Dacor and Miele units the failure is usually a control board, a relay board or an igniter, and the parts are often ordered. The technician diagnoses in the first visit and returns to finish with no second trip fee.
The technician begins at the cooktop, lighting or switching on each burner and watching what happens, then moves to the oven with a thermometer inside and a meter at the back. On gas that means reading igniter current and watching the flame pattern through a full cycle. On electric it means resistance on every element, the sensor and each switch, and voltage at the terminal block, because a lost leg on a 240V circuit mimics a dead oven. The door gasket and hinges get checked, since a warped door in a dry Idaho kitchen leaks heat and throws the bake off by 25°F. The written quote names one part and one price.
Truck stock covers igniters, spark modules, bake and broil elements, radiant elements, infinite switches, sensors and receptacles for Whirlpool, GE, Samsung, LG, Frigidaire, KitchenAid, Maytag, Kenmore, Bosch and Electrolux. The higher-end kitchens in Eagle, Harris Ranch, Hidden Springs and the North End get the same visit for Wolf, Thermador, Viking, Dacor, JennAir and Miele. Landlords with rentals in Nampa and Meridian approve by text and receive the invoice and written warranty by email. The pricing rule is the same for a coil-top and a Wolf: the $99 diagnostic is inside the repair you approve, $99 is the whole bill if you decline, and all pricing comes after the diagnostic, in writing.
Yes. Gas ranges are common in Boise’s older neighborhoods and in the newer subdivisions in Meridian, Eagle and Star with gas service. The technician handles igniters, spark modules, safety valves and burner assemblies, and tests for leaks after any gas-side repair.
Often yes. A temperature sensor that has drifted or a weak gas igniter both cause it. The technician measures the real temperature with a thermometer and compares it to the sensor reading. If the sensor or igniter is out of spec it is replaced; if the oven simply needs calibration, that gets done instead.
Yes, anywhere within thirty minutes of the West Boise shop. Radiant elements, limiters and the control board are the usual failures. The technician lifts the glass, meters the element and limiter first, and only names the board when the readings prove it.
They are. The built-in and professional lines in Eagle, Harris Ranch, Hidden Springs and along Harrison Blvd are part of the regular route. Parts for those brands are more often ordered, and the technician returns to finish the repair with no second trip fee.
Switch the breaker off for the range and call. A welded infinite switch keeps feeding the element regardless of the knob. It is a same-week job, usually next day, and the switch is a truck-stock part on most electric ranges.
Call (208) 813-1132 or send the form. Most requests get a callback within the hour in business time, with a real arrival window.
The technician tests the machine with a meter, names the failed part in plain words, and writes one flat price. The $99 is already inside it.
We stock the high-failure parts for the brands Treasure Valley homes actually own, so most jobs close on the spot; ordered parts return with no second trip fee.
Full test cycle before we pack up, a tidy work area after, and a written warranty in your hand.
One call starts it: $99 diagnostic, one written number, repair from the truck, written warranty.
