[All of Chicago](https://stoverepair.center/locations/chicagoland/) ### Older housing stock An electric stove in an older house may plug into a receptacle that has seen several stoves come and go, and a cord end that runs warm or shows scorch marks at its prongs is a reason to stop cooking until the receptacle has been checked. ### Family houses In a family house the stove is where children first learn to cook, so a knob that turns on with a light touch, or an oven door that gets too hot to hold, is worth a visit, and knob covers and the oven lock are shown to the parents. ### Mixed housing Older houses on these streets may still feed a gas stove through rigid pipe rather than a flexible connector, which makes pulling it out harder, so the move is planned with the gas off and the connection brought up to current practice. ## A visit in Oak Park.
