Won’t Ignite
Ignition failures often come from weak igniters, dirty burner caps/ports, a failed spark switch, or a shorted ignition module. We test what’s actually failing.

What it usually means when your cooktop is not heating
A cooktop that won’t heat usually points to a surface-heating failure path: gas ignition, radiant element, or induction coil/control behavior. We verify the exact failure before quoting parts.
What a technician checks on site
- Verify power supply / voltage (electric/induction) or gas supply (gas)
- Test heating element resistance (electric) or induction coil/inverter signals (induction)
- Check infinite switch / regulator (electric) or spark module / igniter circuit (gas)
- Inspect wiring harness, terminals, and connectors for heat damage
- Confirm control board output under load (if applicable)
Other cooktop problems we fix in Cedar Park
If this symptom doesn’t match exactly, check these common issues we see in Cedar Park, TX.
Constant Sparking / Clicking
Continuous clicking usually means moisture in the switch area, a stuck spark switch, or a failing spark module. It’s common after boil-overs or cleaning.
Learn more →Uneven Heating
Uneven surface heating is commonly caused by burner alignment, weak elements, incompatible induction cookware behavior, or regulator/switch faults. We confirm the cause with load testing.
Learn more →Smell of Gas
A gas odor can indicate a leak at a valve, fitting, regulator, or burner assembly. This is a safety issue — we isolate and confirm source before any repair.
Learn more →Weak Flame / Low Heat (Gas)
A weak flame usually comes from clogged burner ports, an incorrect burner cap position, a restricted orifice, or a regulator/valve issue. We confirm gas flow and the restriction point.
Learn more →Burner Won’t Stay Lit
If a burner lights then goes out, it can be a flame sensing/ignition issue, valve problem, or airflow/port blockage. We test the ignition and gas delivery together.
Learn more →One Burner Not Working
When only one burner fails, the cooktop is usually fine — the issue is often localized to that burner’s element/igniter, switch, or wiring. We isolate it quickly.
Learn more →Stuck on High / Won’t Regulate
A burner stuck on high commonly indicates a failed infinite switch, welded relay, or control board fault. We verify control behavior before parts replacement.
Learn more →Tripping Breaker
Breaker trips usually mean a shorted element, damaged wiring, moisture intrusion, or a failing inverter/control. We test safely to avoid repeated trips and further damage.
Learn more →Cracked Glass Top
A cracked glass top can be unsafe and may expose internal components to spills. We evaluate immediate-use safety and replacement economics by model.
Learn more →Induction Not Detecting Pan
Induction detection problems are often cookware-related, but can also come from coil, sensor, inverter, cooling, or control issues. We confirm whether it is the pan or the cooktop hardware.
Learn more →Shuts Off / Overheats
Unexpected shutdowns often relate to overheating protection, fan failure, sensor problems, or control faults. We check cooling and sensors first to prevent repeat shutdowns.
Learn more →Showing Error Code
Error codes can point to sensors, controls, inverter modules, or safety/lock conditions. The code narrows the system — testing confirms the exact failure.
