Careful La Cornue service for Newport Beach's well-known kitchens.
A La Cornue Château or Grand Palais is the centerpiece of the room it sits in, and Newport Beach has more La Cornue installations than most Orange County cities.

La Cornue is built to French gas-valve and electrical standards, which differ from American Wolf or Viking equipment. We understand the conversion documentation that came with your range and source the correct orifices, regulators, and elements for your specific gas supply.
The Château's signature vaulted oven uses convection airflow patterns that depend on a correctly sized convection motor and a properly calibrated thermostat. We verify cavity temperature with a calibrated probe at multiple setpoints and replace components to the correct service specification.
La Cornue brass trim and color enamel are not service-grade finishes — they're furniture finishes. We mask every adjacent surface, use cotton gloves on brass, and protect enamel edges with felt before any tool touches the range.
La Cornue parts can require model-specific sourcing. We identify the exact configuration first, then source the appropriate repair parts when available and document the completed work clearly for your records.
Drifted thermostat, weak heating element, or a slowing convection motor. We verify with a calibrated probe before replacing parts.
Wet or food-soiled igniter, worn spark module, or misaligned brass burner cap. Cleaning first, then parts if needed.
Failed heating element under the cast-iron plate, or thermal switch out of spec. Tested with a clamp meter before replacing.
Incorrect gas/air mixture, often after a botched LP-to-natural-gas conversion. We verify regulator and orifice sizing for the French burner spec.
Normal patina on uncoated brass or, on coated brass, a failed lacquer that needs professional refinishing. We coordinate with refinishers when needed.
Hinge spring tension or door shim adjustment. We rebuild the hinge stack to the correct service specification.
Bake or broil element failure — we replace as an assembly with the correct French wattage.
Carbon and grease in the French gas valve stems. We pull, clean, re-grease with high-temp lubricant, and re-test.
