Gas, electric and glass cooktops
Burners that won't light, coils that stay cold and cooktops that show error codes, repaired by certified and insured technicians. The service call and diagnosis are free when you go ahead with the repair.
These four stove problems come up most often. Each one lists the usual causes and a safe check to try with the cooktop cool.
If you hear clicking but get no flame, the spark or the gas flow at that burner is the issue.
Spills and cleaning water on the white ceramic igniter stop the spark from lighting the gas.
When the module fails, burners spark weakly, spark at the wrong burner or not at all.
Food baked into the burner head blocks the gas, so the flame won't catch or burns unevenly.
Quick checkLet the cooktop cool, lift the burner cap and gently brush the igniter and the ports dry with a toothbrush.
One cold burner with the rest working points to that burner's element, socket or switch.
Coil elements can break inside even when they look fine. A blister or crack on the coil is a sure sign.
The socket the coil plugs into can burn, so the element loses contact and stays cold.
The switch behind the knob controls the power. When it fails, the burner stays off or only works on high.
Quick checkWith the range off and cool, swap the cold coil with a working one of the same size. If it heats in the other spot, the coil is bad.
Smooth-top ranges watch their own sensors and shut down when something reads out of range.
Moisture or heat damages the touch controls, and the cooktop shows a code or ignores your touch.
A sensor that reads wrong makes the control think a zone is overheating.
A relay that sticks can keep a zone on after you turn it off. If that happens, switch the range off at the breaker.
Quick checkWipe the touch panel dry and turn the range off at the breaker for five minutes to reset it. Write down the code if it comes back.
Clicking that won't stop after the burner lights, or with the knob off, usually comes from the spark circuit.
Water from spills or cleaning gets into the switch behind the knob and keeps it sparking.
A switch that sticks closed sends a spark to every burner, even with the knob turned off.
A cap sitting crooked keeps the flame from reaching the igniter, so it keeps trying.
Quick checkCheck that every burner cap sits flat, and let the cooktop air dry for a few hours after a big spill or cleaning.
Smell gas? If you smell gas, don't use switches, phones or anything that can spark inside the house. Leave the house and call 911 or your gas company from outside. Our technicians repair the appliance itself; new gas line connections are a job for a licensed plumber.
Not sure which one it is? A technician can tell you on the first visit.
