Gas cooktops usually need igniter, spark module or burner attention. Electric and induction cooktops can lose an element, a switch or a control board. Cracked glass is a stop-using-it problem.
Common problems
Cooktop burner not lighting
A burner that clicks but will not light usually has a dirty or wet igniter, a misplaced cap, or clogged ports.
Check first: Make sure the cap sits flat and the burner is dry after cleaning.
When to call: Call if it still will not light. Leave and call the utility if you smell gas.
Weak or yellow cooktop flame
A yellow or lazy flame often means clogged ports, a misaligned cap, or a fuel setting that does not match your gas type.
Check first: Clean the burner ports gently with a pin and reseat the cap.
When to call: Call if the flame stays yellow or soot appears on pans.
Cooktop element not heating
On electric cooktops, a failed element, switch or relay can stop one zone from heating.
Check first: Try another zone and check the breaker.
When to call: Call if one or more zones stay cold.
Cooktop igniter keeps clicking
Clicking that does not stop usually means moisture in a switch or a failing spark module.
Check first: Let the cooktop dry completely after a spill or deep cleaning.
When to call: Call if clicking continues once it is dry.
Cooktop stuck in control lock
Many cooktops have a lock that disables the controls. A stuck lock can also be a control board problem.
Check first: Check your manual for the lock key or hold time.
When to call: Call if the lock will not release.
Cracked glass cooktop
A cracked glass top is unsafe to use, especially if liquid can reach the elements.
Check first: Turn it off at the breaker and do not use it.
When to call: Call; we can quote a replacement top for many models.
