Likely causes
What is usually behind it
The same symptom can have very different causes, and they cost very different amounts. This is what we are actually looking for.
| What you see | Usual cause | What we do |
|---|---|---|
| Clicks but won't light | Clogged burner port or failed spark module | Clear and clean the ports first; replace the spark module only when it is genuinely failing |
| Clicks constantly, even when off | Moisture or a stuck igniter switch | Dry and clean the switch assembly, replace it when the contacts are burnt |
| Weak or yellow flame | Gas valve or a restricted orifice | Clean or replace the orifice and verify the valve delivers the correct pressure |
| Element won't heat | Burnt element or infinite switch | Test both. The switch fails more often than people expect and costs less to replace |

FAQ
Cooktop repair FAQs
How much will my cooktop repair cost?
It depends on which part failed. The service call is $80 and it is waived once you approve the repair. The technician diagnoses the real cause and gives you the full price before any work starts.
My burner clicks but won't light.
Usually a clogged burner port or a failing spark module. Cleaning the ports fixes a good share of these; when the module itself is going, we replace it.
The igniter keeps clicking even when the stove is off.
That is moisture or a stuck igniter switch. We dry and clean the switch assembly, and replace it when the contacts are burnt.
Do you repair induction cooktops?
Yes, induction, gas, electric coil and radiant glass cooktops from every major brand.
Can you replace cracked cooktop glass?
On most brands yes, though the glass is often the single most expensive part on the appliance. We will price it and tell you honestly when replacing the unit makes more sense.
Do you fix the oven too?
Yes, on a separate page. The parts and the faults are different enough to deserve it.
Still not sure?
Call and describe it. We will tell you straight whether it is worth fixing.
