Why Hire a Professional for Cooktop Repair?

Attempting DIY cooktop repairs carries risks, such as electrical shock, damaging internal components, or voiding warranties. We recommend hiring a licensed technician because:

• We have proper safety training and tools to work safely with electrified surfaces, gas lines (if applicable), and sensitive control boards.
• We can diagnose underlying issues (not just symptoms), so the same problem doesn’t recur.
• We stock genuine parts and know brand-specific designs (Samsung, LG, GE, Whirlpool, Bosch, etc.), ensuring correct replacements.
• Our work is backed by our workmanship guarantee, giving you confidence in performance.

As part of our full Appliance Services offering in Tigard, OR, we handle everything from simple burner fixes to full cooktop control board replacements.

Common Cooktop Problems & Repair Solutions

Here are the frequent issues homeowners in Tigard call us about, along with how we resolve them:

1. Burners or heating elements won’t heat

• Problem: One or more burners stay cold.
• Possible causes: Broken heating element, burned-out connection, faulty switch, or bad wiring.
• Repair steps: We test continuity, inspect connectors, replace the element or switch, and retest functionality.

2. Uneven heating or hotspots

• Problem: Burner gets too hot at one spot or heats unevenly.
• Possible causes: Element coil is warped or damaged, or the underlying support plate is misaligned.
• Solution: Replace the warped coil, reposition the element correctly, or adjust under-mount supports.

3. Touch control or glass surface issues

• Problem: The ouch panel doesn’t respond, or the glass top is cracked.
• Possible causes: Faulty touch sensors, control board failure, or impact damage.
• Repair: Replace the touch interface or control board, test sensor alignment, and ensure calibration.

4. Ignition failure (for gas cooktops)

• Problem: The Gas burner doesn’t light.
• Possible causes: Dirty or clogged igniter, weak spark, gas valve malfunction.
• Repair: Clean or replace the igniter, test for spark continuity, and adjust or replace gas valve components.

5. Element stays on / can’t turn off

• Problem: Burner remains active, even when switched off.
• Causes: Faulty control switch, short circuit, or relay stuck.
• Fix: Replace the defective switch or wiring, and test safety cutoff behavior.

6. Safety shutdowns or error codes

• Problem: Cooktop shuts off mid-use, or displays error codes.
• Causes: Overheat sensor triggers, control board logic errors, or temperature sensor faults.

Resolution: Diagnose sensor behavior, replace or reprogram the control board, reset, and retest.

We follow a structured, transparent process so you know exactly what’s happening:

2. Detailed inspection & problem identification: We examine wiring, sensors, elements, controls, and other components to isolate the root cause.

4. Professional repair & replacement: Using proper tools and genuine parts, we perform the repair, install new components if needed, and test thoroughly for correct and safe operation.
5. Final test & cleanup: We run the cooktop through all heating modes, error-code checks, and ensure that everything is working.

Tips to Help Extend Your Cooktop’s Life

While many issues are unavoidable, you can reduce breakdowns by following smart maintenance:

• Clean spills promptly and avoid abrasive cleaners
• Use cookware with flat bottoms to distribute heat evenly
• Avoid dragging heavy items across glass surfaces
• Don’t smash controls with hard utensils
• Do periodic inspections of burner connectors and wiring

These preventive steps help you get more years out of your appliance and reduce repair frequency.
