KitchenAid: 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.

Many cooktops show the same symptom for different reasons. We isolate the failing system first.
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.
Learn more →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.
Learn more →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 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 →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 →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 →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 →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 →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 →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 →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 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 →Unexpected shutdowns often relate to overheating protection, fan failure, sensor problems, or control faults. We check cooling and sensors first to prevent repeat shutdowns.

We diagnose KitchenAid codes — even rare or undocumented ones.
Most jobs fall into the $120-$240 labor range. The technician confirms the exact failure during the $39 diagnostic.
Some symptoms are safety-related. If you’re unsure, stop using the unit until a technician confirms the cause.
