Common causes include: faulty igniter or ignition module, failed heating element (electric ovens), thermostat or temperature probe failure, gas valve issues, or clogged burner ports. Start by checking error codes on the control panel if equipped. If the oven lights but doesn't reach temperature, the thermostat or temperature probe is often the culprit. A certified technician can diagnose the root cause quickly.

Signs of a refrigerant leak: unit runs but doesn't reach temperature, ice buildup on evaporator coil, hissing or bubbling sounds from refrigerant lines, oily residue near connections or fittings, and higher than normal electricity consumption. Only EPA-certified technicians can legally handle refrigerant. If you suspect a leak, call a technician promptly — operating a refrigerator with low refrigerant damages the compressor.

Installation costs vary widely: single appliance installation $300-$2,000 depending on complexity (simple drop-in vs. gas/electrical connections required); complete kitchen buildout $15,000-$75,000+. Costs include equipment setting, utility connections (gas, electric, water, drain), ventilation hookup, and commissioning. Always get installation quotes separate from equipment costs — some dealers include installation, others charge separately.
