When to call for cooktops service
Residential electric, radiant and gas cooktop diagnosis for burner and control failures.
Systems that may be involved
A single symptom can involve more than one component. Diagnosis follows the operating sequence and tests the systems relevant to the model instead of treating every failure the same.
- Surface elements and receptacles
- Infinite switches and relays
- Spark modules and ignition switches
- Burner heads and gas-flow components
- Temperature limiters and sensors
- Touch controls, wiring and power connections
What to do before the appointment
Good preparation protects the home and makes the service conversation more useful. Follow basic safety guidance and avoid disassembling the appliance before the visit.
- Stop using any surface with visible arcing, broken glass or gas odor.
- Allow the cooktop to cool completely before cleaning around the failed area.
- Note which positions work and whether the failure is intermittent.
- Find the model tag below the unit, inside a nearby cabinet or in the owner documentation.
Repair versus replacement
Switches, igniters, elements and some controls may be practical repairs. A cracked glass surface, unavailable integrated control or multiple failed zones can make replacement more economical, especially when countertop fit can be matched.

Cooktop Repair FAQs
Can a cracked glass cooktop be used?
A cracked surface can allow spills to reach electrical components and may worsen with heat. Stop using the appliance and have the condition evaluated.
Why does an electric element stay on high?
A failed control switch, relay, sensor or wiring issue can prevent normal cycling. Disconnect power if the element will not turn off.
Do you service gas cooktops?
Coverage depends on the model and issue. Call with the full model number and a clear description so service can be confirmed.
Where is the cooktop model number?
It is often on the underside of the unit or attached to the cabinet area below. Owner paperwork may also list it when access is difficult.
