Common Cooktop Problems We Repair
Gas Burner Won't Light or Ignite
If your gas burner clicks continuously but won't light, ignites only partially, produces a weak yellow flame instead of a strong blue one, or requires a lighter to start, it's typically caused by a faulty igniter, clogged burner ports, defective spark module, misaligned burner cap, or failed gas valve.
Typical repair cost: $125–$275, depending on the number of burners and parts required.
How we help: Our Costa Mesa technicians disassemble the burner assembly, clean all ports and caps, test igniters and spark modules for proper voltage, inspect gas flow and pressure, and replace worn components with OEM parts. We verify each burner lights within 4 seconds and produces a proper blue flame.
This ensures your gas cooktop operates safely and efficiently, preventing gas leaks and carbon monoxide risks.
Don't risk a gas leak or waste time with a broken burner. Our Costa Mesa and Orange County technicians offer same-day service with upfront pricing and guaranteed repairs.
Call now to get your gas burners lighting instantly again.
Electric Cooktop Burner Not Working
If one or more electric burners won't heat, heat unevenly with cold spots, stay on LOW when turned to HIGH, trip your circuit breaker, or the indicator light stays on but produces no heat, it's typically caused by a burned-out surface element, faulty infinite switch, loose or corroded wiring connections, failed receptacle block, or defective control board.
Typical repair cost: $100–$250, depending on the burner type and parts required.
How we help: Our Costa Mesa technicians test each surface element for continuity, inspect terminal blocks for burn marks or damage, check infinite switches for proper resistance at each setting, examine all wiring connections, and replace failed components with OEM parts. We test each burner at all heat settings to ensure proper function.
This ensures your electric cooktop heats evenly and reliably for safe, efficient cooking.
Don't waste time with unreliable burners. Our Costa Mesa and Orange County technicians offer same-day service with upfront pricing and guaranteed repairs.
Call now to get your cooktop burners heating evenly again.
Induction Cooktop Not Working
If your induction cooktop won't turn on, displays error codes like F or E series, some zones don't heat while others work, doesn't recognize compatible cookware, produces buzzing or humming sounds, or fan runs continuously, it's typically caused by a failed induction coil, defective power board, damaged cookware sensor, faulty cooling fan, broken control board, or software glitches.
Typical repair cost: $200–$450, depending on the zone and parts required.
How we help: Our Costa Mesa technicians diagnose error codes using manufacturer specifications, test each induction coil independently with magnetic cookware, inspect power boards for damaged components, check cookware sensors for proper detection, verify cooling fan operation, and replace faulty components with OEM parts. We test all zones with various cookware types to ensure proper recognition and heating.
This ensures your induction cooktop heats efficiently with precise temperature control and proper safety features.
Don't let a broken induction zone disrupt your cooking. Our Costa Mesa and Orange County technicians offer same-day service with upfront pricing and guaranteed repairs.
Call now to get your induction cooktop heating precisely again.
Glass/Ceramic Cooktop Cracked or Damaged
If your glass or ceramic cooktop surface is cracked, shattered, scratched deeply, discolored from burns, has chips around burner areas, or shows spider-web damage patterns, it's typically caused by thermal shock from cold items on hot surfaces, heavy impacts from dropped cookware, improper cookware dragging across the surface, or manufacturing defects in the glass.
Typical repair cost: $300–$600, depending on the cooktop size and glass type required.
How we help: Our Costa Mesa technicians assess the extent of glass damage and whether cracks affect heating element sensors or controls, source exact replacement glass tops matched to your model, carefully remove damaged glass and underlying components, install new glass with proper sealing and element alignment, and test all burners for proper operation. For minor scratches, we can recommend professional glass polishing services.
This ensures your cooktop is safe to use without risk of electrical shock or further glass breakage.
Don't risk injury from damaged glass. Our Costa Mesa and Orange County technicians offer same-day service with upfront pricing and guaranteed repairs.
Call now to get your cooktop glass replaced safely.
Cooktop Controls Not Working or Unresponsive
If your cooktop's control knobs won't turn or feel stuck, touch controls don't respond when pressed, digital display is blank or shows error codes, burners won't adjust temperature, control panel lights don't illuminate, or you hear beeping without input, it's typically caused by a failed control board, damaged touch panel or membrane switches, broken control knobs, faulty wiring connections, or control lock activated accidentally.
Typical repair cost: $150–$400, depending on the control type and parts required.
How we help: Our Costa Mesa technicians test power supply to control boards, inspect touch panels for damage or moisture intrusion, check control knobs for broken stems or stripped gears, verify all wire harness connections, diagnose error codes, deactivate control locks if engaged, and replace defective controls or boards with OEM parts.
Don't struggle with unresponsive cooktop controls. Our Costa Mesa and Orange County technicians offer same-day service with upfront pricing and guaranteed repairs.
Call now to get your cooktop controls responding perfectly again.
Cooktop Sparking Continuously or Won't Stop Clicking
If your gas cooktop spark igniters keep clicking even after burners are lit, continue sparking when burners are off, spark at all burners when trying to light just one, won't stop clicking until you unplug the unit, or produce weak sparks that won't ignite gas, it's typically caused by moisture in the igniter system, faulty spark module sending continuous signals, stuck igniter switch, grounding issues from food spills, or damaged spark electrode wires.
Typical repair cost: $100–$250, depending on the ignition system and parts required.
How we help: Our Costa Mesa technicians thoroughly clean and dry all igniter components and burner areas, test spark modules for proper cycling, inspect igniter switches for stuck contacts, check electrode gaps (should be 3-4mm), verify proper grounding, examine spark wires for damage, and replace faulty modules or switches with OEM parts.
Don't let constant clicking drive you crazy. Our Costa Mesa and Orange County technicians offer same-day service with upfront pricing and guaranteed repairs.

They are increasingly popular in Costa Mesa, Laguna Beach, and Newport Coast modern homes for their instant heat response, precise temperature control, cool-to-touch surface safety, and easy cleanup.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is it worth it to repair my appliance?
That's the most common question in our industry.
As a general rule, if your appliance is newer (under 8 years old) and the repair costs less than half of what a new one would cost, it's usually worth fixing. We'll give you an honest assessment and clear repair quote so you can make the best decision.
2. Do you sell appliance parts?
No, we do not sell parts separately.
Parts are only provided when we perform the repair to ensure proper installation and warranty coverage.
3. How long does an appliance repair usually take?
The time required for a repair depends on the issue and the type of appliance.
Most repairs can be completed within 1-2 hours.
For more complex issues or if parts need to be ordered, it may take longer. We’ll always keep you updated on the progress.
4. Do you offer a warranty on your repairs?
Yes, we offer a warranty on both parts and labor.
The exact terms vary depending on the repair, but typically, parts come with a manufacturer’s warranty, and we provide a service guarantee for the work we perform.
5. What should I do if my appliance is still under warranty?
If your appliance is still under warranty, it’s important to contact the manufacturer or the retailer where you purchased it.
We can still assist with the repair, but you may want to verify whether the warranty will cover our services or if it must be handled by the manufacturer’s authorized service provider.
6. Do you install parts that customers provide?
No, we only install parts that we supply.
This ensures quality control and allows us to warranty both the parts and labor. We cannot provide warranty coverage on customer-supplied parts.
7. What types of appliances do you repair?
We repair a wide range of home appliances, including refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines, dryers, ovens, stoves, and microwaves. If you’re unsure whether we can fix your specific appliance, feel free to contact us for more information.
