Cooktop Repair in NYC

We repair gas cooktops, electric cooktops (coil and radiant glass), and induction cooktops. Correct diagnosis starts with identifying the cooktop type and whether the failure is isolated to one zone or affects multiple zones, then testing the controls, safety devices, and heat output under load.

Know Your Cooktop Platforms

Gas cooktop

• Burner assemblies (cap, head, base) and orifices (gas metering)
• Spark ignition system (spark module and burner switches)
• Valves and manifold controlling gas flow
• Grounding and flame path needed for consistent ignition and stable flame

Electric radiant glass cooktop

• Radiant heating elements under a glass surface
• Infinite switches or electronic controls depending on model
• Thermal limiters and temperature sensors on some designs
• Wiring harness and terminals exposed to high heat cycling

Electric coil cooktop

• Plug in coil elements with receptacles
• Infinite switches controlling power level
• Common failure points: burned receptacles, failed switches, open elements

Induction cooktop

• Induction coils under glass driven by power electronics (inverter modules)
• Pan detection and power modulation logic
• Cooling fan system to protect electronics
• UI control and communication between boards

Safety First

• If you smell gas, do not use the cooktop. Open windows and shut off the gas at the valve if safe to access. If odor continues, contact the building or gas utility.
• If the glass surface is cracked (radiant or induction), stop using it. Heat and spills can create shock and burn hazards.
• If a burner or zone is cycling abnormally hot, sparking continuously, or shutting off unexpectedly, keep it off until tested.

Quick Self Check Safe Steps

• Confirm power: display on (if present) and breaker not tripped (even gas cooktops often need power for ignition)
• For gas: verify burner caps are seated correctly and burner ports are not blocked
• For radiant: check if one zone is out or multiple zones are out
• For induction: test with a known compatible pan and try a different zone
• Note error codes or flashing indicators if your model shows them

Common Symptoms and Likely Causes

Gas burner clicks but will not light

• Cap misalignment or blocked burner ports
• Wet or dirty igniter area preventing a clean spark path
• Weak spark module output or failed burner switch
• Gas restriction at valve, orifice, or supply line

Gas burner keeps clicking after it lights

• Igniter contamination (food spill, grease)
• Moisture in the switch harness area
• Grounding issue affecting spark behavior
• Failing spark module channel

Burner flame is uneven, noisy, or lifts off the burner

• Dirty burner head or restricted ports
• Incorrect cap placement
• Air shutter or gas pressure related issues (model dependent)

Radiant glass zone not heating or heats intermittently

• Failed radiant element (open circuit)
• Failed infinite switch or electronic relay
• Thermal limiter opening due to overheating or sensor fault
• Burned wiring terminal from heat cycling

Coil element not heating

• Open coil element
• Burned receptacle or loose terminal
• Failed infinite switch

Induction zone shows pan not detected or shuts off

• Non compatible cookware or warped pan base
• Failed induction coil or zone sensor
• Power module fault (inverter electronics)
• Cooling fan issue causing thermal shutdown
• Control board communication fault between UI and power boards

Multiple zones dead at once

• Power supply problem (breaker, terminal block, supply wiring)
• Main control or power board failure
• Harness connection issue at the cooktop junction box or internal connectors

What We Test Our Diagnostic Flow

• Identify cooktop type and model specific configuration
• Supply verification
  • Gas: confirm supply, valve position, ignition power presence
  • Electric and induction: verify voltage under load at junction and internal distribution
• Functional checks per zone and across multiple zones
• Component testing
  • Gas: spark module output, switch continuity, igniter condition, burner ignition behavior, orifice inspection as needed
  • Radiant and coil: element resistance, switch output, relay behavior, terminal condition, limiter checks
  • Induction: coil integrity, sensors, fan operation, power module behavior and communication checks
• Heat output confirmation: verify stable operation at multiple power levels
• Root cause conclusion: confirm the failure point before quoting parts and labor

Prep for the Visit

• Clear the cooktop surface and remove pans, grates, and burner caps if possible
• Provide access to the breaker panel and the gas shutoff if accessible
• Share a photo of the model tag (often underside, cabinet area, or frame)
• Note whether the issue is one zone or multiple zones, and whether it is intermittent or constant
