My washing machine GE stopped filling with water and was just tumbling half-dry clothes around the bottom of the drum. I contacted one repair company, and they replaced two parts…

Cooktop Not Heating — Gas vs Electric vs Induction
Surface-cooking failures are diagnosed differently by cooktop type. Gas requires ignition and flame checks; electric and induction require load and control-path testing.
Typical symptoms
- One burner cold while others still work
- All zones dead after a power or breaker event
- Induction zone detects pan but does not heat
- Heat starts then drops out under load
Common causes we verify
- Gas ignition circuit failure (electrode/spark path)
- Open radiant element or damaged receptacle path
- Induction coil/inverter output fault
- Infinite switch or regulator failure
- Control board output or harness heat damage
This page is for surface-cooking systems. For oven cavity bake/broil temperature problems, use our oven repair pages.
How We Diagnose Cooktop No-Heat Complaints
We isolate fuel type and heating system first, then test burner-level and control-level failures in sequence.
Type-based diagnostic path
Gas, electric, and induction cooktops use different failure trees, so testing starts with platform identification.
Burner-level component checks
We test element/ignition/coil behavior on the affected zone before replacing boards.
Switch and control verification
Infinite switches, regulator behavior, and board outputs are validated under load.
Wiring and connector inspection
Heat-damaged terminals and harness faults are common on high-use cooking zones.
Surface Heating Repair Economics
Burner-level repairs are often practical. Induction inverter and control-level repairs vary by model and age, so we quote after confirmed testing (typical labor $120-$240, parts extra).
Cooktop Not Heating FAQ
Austin questions before booking.
Why is only one burner not heating?
Single-zone failures are usually localized to that burner's component path (element, electrode, coil, or switch).
Can induction fail with some pans but not others?
Yes. Induction requires compatible cookware and stable pan-detection signals.
Is this a range or oven issue?
This page focuses on cooktop surface heating systems; oven cavity issues are handled separately.
Does the $39 diagnostic apply toward repair?
Yes, it applies toward the repair total if you proceed.
