Common Stove & Cooktop Issues We Diagnose

Gas Burner Won’t Ignite but Clicks

Caused by clogged burner port holes, moisture around the spark electrode, or a misaligned burner cap.

Electric Surface Element Won’t Heat

On coil cooktops, the burner receptacle socket or coil element may have burned out. On glass ceramic cooktops, the radiant ribbon element or wiring terminal may be open.

Gas Igniter Clicks Continuously

Caused by a shorted burner spark ignition switch mounted on the control valve or liquid ingress inside the switch contacts.

Burner Heat Cannot Be Controlled (Stuck on High)

Directly indicates a failed infinite control switch where internal bi-metal contacts have fused closed.

Touch Screen or Glass Induction Faults

Points to power board inverter failures, surface induction coil sensors, or pan-detection circuit malfunctions.
