Cooktop repair problems we solve
A cooktop is a simpler machine than a range, and the faults are usually one of three things: the element, the switch behind it, or the board underneath.
One element won't heat
Element or the infinite switch. On radiant glass the element sits under the surface and comes out from below.
Element stuck on full
The switch, not the element. It's the fault most often misdiagnosed as a dead element.
Cracked glass surface
Replaceable on most radiant models, and worth pricing before you replace the whole cooktop.
Burner clicks but won't light
On gas, the spark module or the electrodes — sometimes just a burner cap sitting proud after a clean.
Induction won't recognise the pan
Often the pan, not the cooktop. We'll tell you which before quoting anything.
Touch controls unresponsive
Control board or moisture under the glass. Common after a spill, and not always terminal.
Nothing works at all
Power supply, a tripped element, or the main board. The whole-cooktop symptom usually has a small cause.
Error code on the display
Read us the code when you call — it often decides whether the cooktop has to come out of the counter.
All major cooktop form factors
A cooktop is the hob on its own, dropped into the counter with the oven elsewhere. Three types, and the difference is what sits under the surface.
Gas
Drop-in burners with removable grates. Igniters and burner caps are the common calls; gas line work goes to a licensed gasfitter.
Electric radiant
Elements under ceramic glass, wired to an infinite switch behind each knob. One dead zone usually points at the switch.
Induction
Induction coils and a board beneath the glass. Fan and board faults show up as a cooktop that heats briefly and then stops.

Common questions
My oven isn't heating — is it the element or the control board?
Most of the time it's a bake or broil element — a relatively simple fix. Control board failures do happen but are less common. Our tech will diagnose on the first visit and quote before touching anything.
Do you repair glass-top (ceramic/induction) stoves?
Yes. We service glass-top ranges — burner issues, control panel faults, cracked glass assessment, and element problems beneath the surface.
My stove burner works but the oven doesn't — is that normal?
Yes, it's common. The burners and oven use separate heating elements and controls. An oven that doesn't heat while burners work fine usually points to the bake element or oven thermostat.
Do you service stoves and ovens?
Yes — we service ranges, wall ovens and cooktops. All major brands.
How long does a stove or oven repair take?
Most repairs are completed on the first visit. If a part needs to be ordered, we'll book a return visit as soon as it arrives.
