Some of the most common stovetop problems we’ve seen in our clients include:
– Burner Ignition Problems: This is a common problem with gas cooktops where one or more burners fail to ignite or have a weak flame. It can be caused by clogged burner ports, a faulty igniter, or a problem with the gas supply.
– Uneven Heat Distribution: Electric cooktops may have issues with uneven heat distribution, where certain areas of the cooktop heat up faster or slower than others. This can be due to faulty heating elements or issues with the electrical connections.
– Burner Not Heating: Electric cooktops can encounter problems where one or more burners fail to heat up. This can be caused by a defective heating element, a faulty switch, or a problem with the wiring.
– Induction Cooktop Malfunctions: Induction cooktops rely on electromagnetic fields to heat the cookware. Common issues with induction cooktops include error codes, malfunctioning touch controls, or compatibility problems with certain types of cookware.
– Control Panel Issues: Cooktops with electronic control panels can experience problems such as unresponsive buttons, error codes, or a completely non-functional panel. This could be due to electrical issues, a faulty control board, or a problem with the control panel itself.
– Cracked or Damaged Surface: Ceramic or glass cooktops are prone to cracking or damage, particularly if heavy objects are dropped on them. Cracks can affect the cooktop’s functionality and may require professional repair or replacement.
– Gas Smell: If you smell gas around your gas cooktop, it could indicate a gas leak. Gas leaks are serious safety hazards and should be addressed immediately. Contact a professional technician or your gas provider for assistance.
Still, remember that these problems may vary depending on the type and model of your cooktop. If you encounter any issues with your cooktop, it’s recommended to consult the appliance’s manual, contact the manufacturer’s customer support, or call us to get that sorted out for you today.

Yes, electric stovetops can often be repaired!
Many common issues with electric stovetops can be addressed by a qualified technician.
Here are a few examples of repairable problems:
Faulty Heating Elements: If one or more heating elements on your electric cooktop are not working properly, they can be replaced. A technician can identify the defective element and install a new one.
Control Switch Replacement: Electric cooktops have control switches that regulate the heat levels of the burners. If a control switch is malfunctioning or not functioning at all, it can be replaced to restore proper operation.
Wiring or Connection Issues: Sometimes, electric stovetops can experience problems due to loose or damaged wiring connections. A technician can inspect the wiring, identify any issues, and repair or replace the damaged components.
Temperature Control Problems: If the temperature on your electric stovetop is not accurate or fluctuates unexpectedly, it may be due to a faulty temperature sensor or control module. These components can be repaired or replaced as needed.
Indicator Lights or Display Issues: Electric cooktops often have indicator lights or digital displays to show the status or temperature settings. If these lights or displays are not working correctly, they can be repaired or replaced.
Yet, the repairability of specific issues may vary depending on the make and model of the electric cooktop.
It’s generally recommended to consult the appliance’s manual, contact the manufacturer’s customer support, or seek assistance from a professional appliance repair service (like NWAR) to assess the problem and provide the necessary repairs.
If your stovetop stops working, here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:
Check the Power Supply: Ensure that the stove top is receiving power. Make sure it’s properly plugged into the power outlet and that there is no issue with the circuit breaker or fuse. You can try unplugging and replugging the stove top to reset it.
Verify the Control Settings: Double-check that the cooktop controls, such as knobs or digital settings, are properly adjusted. Sometimes, accidental changes or incorrect settings can cause the appliance to appear non-functional.
Test Other Appliances: Check if other appliances in your kitchen that rely on the same power source are working. This can help determine if the issue is specific to the cooktop or a broader electrical problem.
Inspect the Wiring: If you’re comfortable doing so and have the necessary knowledge, you can inspect the wiring connections at the back of the cooktop to ensure they are secure and not damaged. However, be cautious and consider seeking professional assistance if you’re unsure.
Reset the Circuit Breaker: If the cooktop has tripped a circuit breaker, locate the electrical panel in your home and look for the corresponding circuit breaker. Reset it by flipping it off and then back on.
Contact a Professional: If none of the above steps resolves the issue or if you’re uncomfortable performing further troubleshooting, give us a call.
Our technicians have the expertise to diagnose and repair any problem your cooktop may be having.
Also, remember to prioritize your safety throughout the process. If you encounter any signs of electrical issues, such as sparks, burning smells, or unusual sounds, immediately turn off the cooktop and seek professional help.
We’ve seen several reasons why one of the burners on a ceramic cooktop may not be working. Here are a few possible causes:
Faulty Heating Element: The heating element may be damaged or broken, which can prevent it from heating up. In such cases, our technicians can identify the defective element and replace it.
Control Switch Issue: If a control switch is not functioning correctly or not working at all, it can cause the associated burner to stop working. A stove repair technician can replace the switch to restore proper operation.
Wiring or Connection Problems: The issue may also be due to loose or damaged wiring connections. A technician can inspect the wiring, identify any issues, and repair or replace the damaged components.
Control Board Malfunction: Ceramic cooktops have a control board that manages the operation of the burners. If the control board malfunctions, it can prevent one or more burners from working correctly. In such cases, a technician can diagnose the problem and replace the control board if necessary.
The specific cause of the issue may vary depending on the make and model of your ceramic cooktop. Consult the appliance’s manual, contact the manufacturer’s customer support, or give us a call to assess the problem and provide the necessary repairs.
