Gas or electric, we handle surface burner issues, spark problems, and unresponsive knobs. Safety-checked, flame-tested, and calibrated.
When your cooktop fails, it's not just inconvenient — it disrupts your entire kitchen routine. Whether you use gas or electric, most failures trace back to ignition modules, heating elements, valve solenoids, or sensor controls. Gas burners that won’t ignite, click nonstop, or release faint gas smells may indicate unsafe ignition issues or misaligned burner caps. Electric units may suffer from dead burners, stuck high heat, or unresponsive glass touch panels. We diagnose these faults live — under real heat, spark, and load — because appliance failure rarely happens in a static test.
Our repair service covers all cooktop types: built-in, slide-in, and standalone units. For gas models, we test flame sensors, thermocouples, spark modules, grounding paths, and solenoid valve function. For electric models, we inspect heating coils, radiant surfaces, infinite switches, and control relay boards. Continuity, voltage, and resistance are measured across key points — and cracked glass surfaces are only tested when level to avoid false signals. All gas ignition work includes pre/post leak tests, and all diagnostics are brand-specific based on control logic and interface type.
We regularly service cooktops from GE, Whirlpool, Bosch, Samsung, LG, Thermador, Viking, Wolf, KitchenAid, and Frigidaire. For gas units, access to a working shutoff valve is required; for electric, a live 240V or 120V outlet must be available. Whether your cooktop sits in granite, stainless trim, or flush cabinetry, we plan access in advance to avoid damage during removal. Smart models with touch sensors or relay logic are diagnosed with interface-safe tools and multistage testing to isolate failure without triggering resets or false errors.
Cooktop failure doesn’t always mean full replacement. If your unit is under 10 years old and only one burner, switch, or module has failed, repair is usually faster and more cost-effective — especially for high-end brands or glass-tops. We give clear estimates, show test results, and explain the fault in simple terms so you can make an informed decision. No hidden steps, no inflated parts pricing — just expert repair that returns your cooktop to full, safe functionality. If it sparks, smokes, clicks, or just won’t heat — we’re ready to fix it.
