We check the most common root causes first, then verify with measurements.
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 heating is commonly caused by burner alignment, weak elements, an incorrect pan (induction), or a failing regulator/switch. We confirm the cause with measurements.
Learn more →A gas odor can indicate a leak at a valve, fitting, regulator, or burner assembly. This is a safety issue — we locate and confirm the leak 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 whether it can be used temporarily and quote replacement options if required.
Learn more →Induction detection problems are often cookware-related, but can also be caused by a coil, sensor, or inverter/control issue. We confirm whether it’s the pan or the cooktop.
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.
Learn more →Error codes can point to sensors, controls, inverter modules, or safety/lock conditions. The code narrows the system — testing confirms the exact failure.
