Tick-tick-tick yet nothing lights, a coil glowing only on high, or an induction ring pretending your pot is not there? Our technician pinpoints what quit and has supper back on the stove.
Gas, coil, glass top or induction, these are the six cooktop complaints we hear about most around town.
A spark electrode with a heat crack, a cap that slid off centre or ports glued shut by boiled-over sauce.
Water seeping under the top after a wipe-down, or a spark switch stuck inside the knob.
A coil that burned through, a terminal block blackened by arcing, or a control switch behind the knob that has stopped passing current.
An infinite switch welded shut, which keeps the element at full power no matter the setting.
Pots without an iron base, a burnt-out power board, or the sensor under that zone reading wrong.
Half-blocked burner ports, a regulator acting up or an air shutter set too tight.
Stove types we service
From the brand that came with the house to the one you picked out last spring, these names show up on our work orders every week.
Glass and induction tops display a short code once they detect a problem. Each one we see often is listed below.

Water or a metal object has rested on the controls too long. Clean the surface and press Power.

Power to the cooktop was cut. Press Clear/Off and try the burner again.

The circuit is delivering too little voltage. A licensed electrician needs to look at it.

Signals from the inverter are no longer reaching the main board.

A zone shut off to protect the electronics. Let it cool, touch any control and carry on.
Try this firstHot pan by the controls
Hot cookware is sitting too close to the panel. Move it away and wait a few seconds.
Try this firstAutomatic time limit
A zone ran for a long time with no input and shut itself off. Touch a control to resume.

A pair of our gas burners clicked away and never caught. One igniter was cracked, the other burner just needed a cleaning, and he walked me through seating the caps. All four light right away now.
The big burner on our smooth top was stuck on high and would not turn down. Bad infinite switch, sorted before the hour was out. Felt safe cooking again that night.
The induction top blinked an error no matter which pan I used. He tested it, fitted a new power board and sorted my pots into the ones that work on induction and the ones that do not. Very patient guy.
A crooked cap or the wrong pan is behind plenty of stove trouble, so check these first.
