How to Diagnose a Cooktop or Stove Problem Before Calling
Run through these checks before calling — you may save a service visit. If the issue persists, we're ready for same-day service.
- 1
Clean the burner caps and igniter ports
Food residue on burner caps is the top cause of igniter clicking and weak flames. Remove the caps and clean them thoroughly — this resolves many 'faulty igniter' calls.
- 2
Reseats the burner cap after cleaning
A misaligned or cocked burner cap causes clicking that never stops. Lift and re-center it on the burner base. The slot and notch must align before the cap sits flat.
- 3
Test the igniter switch with a paperclip
On gas cooktops, pressing each igniter button should produce a clicking spark. No spark from one igniter (while others work) points to a failed switch — a quick part replacement.
- 4
Check the surface element on electric cooktops
On coil-electric cooktops, a non-heating element can sometimes be swapped with a working one to confirm the fault. Ceramic and induction top elements are sealed — don't attempt this.
- 5
Schedule service if you smell gas or see yellow/orange flames
Yellow or orange flames on a gas burner indicate incomplete combustion — a safety concern requiring a technician. Never ignore a gas smell; open windows and call immediately.

- • Repair cost exceeds 50% of replacement
