What We Fix
A cooktop looks simple from above and is anything but underneath: sealed gas burners with individual spark igniters, or induction zones each driven by its own power board and coil. When one burner or zone misbehaves, the fix is a targeted repair, not a new cooktop. We service gas, induction, and radiant-electric cooktops across the high-end field.
- Sealed gas burners with weak, dead, or constant clicking ignition
- Induction zones that are dead, cut out, or throw a fault
- Radiant-electric elements and touch controls
- Spark modules, spark switches, and igniter electrodes
- Gas valves, orifices, and burner caps
- Downdraft cooktop blowers and controls
- Cracked glass replacement and touch-panel faults
Common Problems We See
- Burner clicks but will not light. A fouled igniter, a crooked cap, or a weak spark.
- All burners clicking constantly. Moisture shorting the spark switch.
- One induction zone dead. A failed coil or power module on that zone.
- Zone cuts out under load. Overheating power electronics or a cooling-fan fault.
- Touch controls unresponsive. A failed control board or a cracked glass sensor.
Typical Causes
Gas cooktops fail at the igniter and the spark switch. Spillover works into the burner and fouls the spark, so it clicks without lighting, while moisture under the control shorts the switch and makes every burner click at once. Induction cooktops are electronic: each zone is a coil and an inverter board, and either can fail on its own, which is why a single dead zone rarely means the whole appliance is done. We test the affected zone or burner in isolation and replace the specific part, keeping the repair proportionate to the fault.
Brands We Service
We service cooktops from Wolf, Thermador, Gaggenau, Miele, Bosch, Viking, and other high-end lines. See the full brands list.
Symptom Reference
| Symptom | Likely Cause | What We Do |
|---|---|---|
| Burner clicks, no flame | Fouled igniter or crooked cap | Clean and align igniter, test spark and switch |
| All burners clicking | Moisture shorting spark switch | Dry and reseal, replace switch if pitted |
| One induction zone dead | Failed coil or power module | Isolate zone, test module, replace failed part |
| Zone cuts out under load | Overheating electronics or fan fault | Test cooling fan, replace board if overheating |
| Touch panel unresponsive | Control board or cracked glass sensor | Test control, replace board or glass as needed |
