Amana Cooktop Repair in Houses, Apartments and Rentals
We have no affiliation with Amana and are not one of its service centers. A cooktop still covered by the Amana warranty belongs with Amana first. Once it's out of coverage, give us the model number and the symptom when you book so we can look into parts ahead of time.

What's inside an Amana cooktop
The cooktop on an Amana range comes in three versions. Coil electric tops use plug-in elements and receptacle blocks, which burn and loosen, so a burner that works only when wiggled needs a new receptacle and often a new element. Radiant glass tops use elements under the glass controlled by infinite switches, and a burner stuck on high or off points to the switch. Gas tops use spark ignition, and clicking that will not stop usually means a spark switch got wet during cleaning. Burner caps must be seated correctly for an even flame, and a yellow, lazy flame after a cap is replaced means it is sitting off-center. On radiant tops, a crack in the glass is a safety issue: the burner should not be used until the top is replaced.
Parts that tend to fail on Amana cooktops
- Coil receptacle burned
- Infinite switch failing
- Radiant element not heating

Something else on your mind?
Reach out with the brand, the symptom and a model number if you have one. Some questions we can answer on the spot; the rest a technician can check in person.
Usually a burned receptacle or a pitted element terminal. We replace the receptacle and the element if needed so the connection is solid.
A spark switch that got wet during cleaning is the usual cause. Let it dry. If it continues, the switch is replaced.
