Cooktop Repair in Clairton, Jefferson Hills & South Park, PA

On a gas cooktop, a burner that clicks without lighting usually has a wet or dirty igniter, a burner cap sitting off-center, or clogged ports. If every burner keeps clicking after it lights, a spark module or a switch that has taken in liquid from a boil-over is the likely cause. On a radiant smooth-top, a dead element is tested for continuity, then its infinite switch or the control board. Induction cooktops monitor their own circuits and usually show an error code, which is the starting point. A cracked glass top should not be used at all, because spills can reach the wiring underneath.

A cooktop sits in a counter cutout and is reached from above and from the cabinet below. Before the visit, empty that cabinet so the technician can get to the gas connection, the junction box and the control parts. For a gas model, know where the shutoff valve is; it is often inside that same cabinet or in the basement under the kitchen.
