Two shops turned us down flat once they heard how old the 648PRO is — one of them would not even send a technician to look at it. This company came out, put a meter on it, and had the answer within the hour: the defrost termination thermostat had quit, so the coil never cleared and the freezer side kept climbing. It has sat rock steady since.

Sealed Dual-Stack Burners, Tuned for 6,200 Feet
A pro-style range earns its keep at both ends of the flame — a roaring high output for a wok or a fast boil, and a whisper-low simmer that won't scorch a sauce. Sealed dual-stack burners are built to do both, but that low end is exactly where Founders Village's altitude gets in the way. At roughly 6,200 feet the thinner air makes gas burn leaner, so a range jetted at sea level tends to run a lazy, uneven flame and lose the true low simmer entirely.
The fix is rarely a new burner. It's calibration — the regulator, the burner orifices and the low-flame setting adjusted for the air these homes actually cook in. A technician who only works flatland kitchens routinely skips this and leaves you with a range that never simmers right. Castle Rock Appliance Service has tuned and repaired premium ranges since 2014, is independent of any manufacturer, and fits OEM-quality, factory-specified parts.
Where Range Faults Actually Live
A range is really two appliances sharing a frame, and each half has its own failure points.
Sealed Burners
Dual-stack burners depend on clean orifices, a seated cap and correct gas pressure. A weak simmer, an orange flame or a burner that won't light usually traces here — often a clogged port or a calibration off for our altitude, not a failed part.
Spark Ignition
A spark module and its igniters fire every burner. Constant clicking, no spark, or a burner slow to catch points to a fouled igniter, a cracked ceramic or a tired module. We test the circuit and replace only the piece that's failed.
Dual-Fuel Oven Combo
On a dual-fuel range, an electric oven sits under gas burners. Overshooting temperatures, a dead convection fan, or a bake element that won't heat are oven-side faults we diagnose separately from the burners — one visit, two systems.
Range Symptoms We See Most in Founders Village
If your range is doing any of these, it's a call we take across the neighborhood regularly:
- A burner that lights on high but won't hold a steady low simmer
- Spark igniters that keep clicking even after the burner has caught
- A knob that turns but the burner beneath it never lights, or lights late
- A lazy, orange or lopsided flame instead of a crisp blue cone
- A dual-fuel oven that overshoots the setpoint, then crashes below it
- The oven side won't ignite at all, or you smell gas near the base
- A burner cap sitting crooked, throwing the flame off to one side
- Convection in the oven silent or not circulating, so baking runs uneven
The Altitude Calibration a Sea-Level Tech Misses
This is the single biggest difference between a range repair done right in Founders Village and one done by rote.
Gas that burns leaner at elevation changes the whole air-to-fuel balance a range was set up for. The symptoms are consistent: a simmer that scorches instead of holding, safety valves that trip before a burner truly lights, an oven that's slow to preheat, and flames that lean orange or dance unevenly. Swapping parts doesn't cure any of it — the answer is adjusting the regulator, matching the burner orifices to the air, and dialing the low-flame setting so the range behaves at 6,200 feet the way its maker intended at sea level.
We treat that calibration as part of the repair, not an upsell. When we finish a range job in Founders Village, we test the full flame range on every burner — full boil down to the lowest simmer — and confirm the oven ignites cleanly and holds its temperature, so the range works the way a pro-style range is supposed to up here.

Call (303) 801-0060, answered 24/7.
How much does range repair cost in Founders Village?

Why won't my range simmer properly in Castle Rock?
At about 6,200 feet, thin air makes gas burn leaner, and a range jetted for sea level loses its true low simmer and runs an uneven flame. The fix is regulator, orifice and low-flame calibration for the altitude — not a new burner. Castle Rock Appliance Service does exactly that; call (303) 801-0060.
Frequently Asked Questions
My burner clicks constantly even after it's lit — is that dangerous?
It's not usually dangerous, but it does mean something's wrong — often a fouled or wet igniter, a cracked ceramic, or a spark module that keeps firing. We test the ignition circuit, clean or replace the failed igniter, and confirm the burner lights and then stops clicking as it should.
The oven on my dual-fuel range overshoots the temperature. Can you fix it?
Yes. On a dual-fuel range the oven is electric, and overshooting usually points to the temperature sensor, the control board's calibration, or a convection fan not circulating heat. We measure the cavity against the setpoint and correct the specific cause rather than guessing.
I smell gas near my range — what should I do?
If you smell a strong or persistent gas odor, leave and call your gas utility or 911 first. For an intermittent smell tied to a burner not lighting cleanly, we can diagnose the igniter, valve and calibration. Call (303) 801-0060 and tell us about the smell when you book so we prioritize it.
Do you calibrate ranges for Castle Rock's altitude as part of the repair?
Yes, and we consider it essential here. Adjusting the regulator, orifices and low-flame setting for 6,200 feet is often what actually cures a weak simmer or slow oven — work a sea-level shop tends to skip. We build that calibration into the repair and test the full flame range before we leave.
How soon can you reach my Founders Village home for a range repair?
We answer the phone 24/7 at (303) 801-0060 and run visits daily from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, typically same-day or next-day for Founders Village. Use the Book Online link if you'd rather reserve a window directly.

Frost kept building along the frame of the fresh-food door on our 48-inch built-in. The technician showed me the gasket had gone hard and lost its memory, and that the hinge cartridge had sagged just enough to break the seal at the top corner. He replaced both, then spent a few minutes explaining what causes it and what to look for later — a gasket that no longer springs back, or a door that needs a nudge to shut. I appreciated being told rather than just billed.
After our kitchen remodel the hood roared like a jet and still let steam hang over the range. Two technicians before this one told us the blower was tired and quoted a new one; neither of them put an instrument anywhere near it. This company went up into the ceiling, found the duct run had been crushed flat where the remodel crew routed it around a new beam, rebuilt the transition, and then actually measured the airflow at the hood so we could see the difference. It is quieter now and the kitchen clears.
Lettuce freezing solid in the refrigerator while the freezer behaved perfectly — that combination had already earned us a quote for a new control board from another company. Our technician opened it up, found the air damper motor stuck wide open so freezer air poured into the fresh-food section, and replaced the damper for a small fraction of that quote. Honest work.
The heating element in our Thermador warming drawer had gone open circuit, so it was doing nothing but taking up space. What stuck with me as much as the repair was the care taken with the house: floor covering down before anything came out of the cabinet, tools kept on a mat, and the kitchen wiped down before he left. You would not have known anyone had been in.
The lower zone of our wine unit had been running warm for a while, and it turned out to be the compressor start relay — diagnosed properly, repaired in one visit, and the bill came in exactly where they said it would. My one real complaint is getting on the calendar: it took over a week from my first call before anyone could come out here, which is a long time to watch a cabinet of wine sit at the wrong temperature. Four stars for the wait, not for the work.
