Smeg Cooktop Repair in Houses, Apartments and Rentals
We have no affiliation with Smeg and are not one of its service centers. A cooktop still covered by the Smeg warranty belongs with Smeg 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.

How Smeg builds its cooktops
Smeg gas cooktops use a thermocouple at each burner. When lit, the thermocouple heats and produces a small voltage that holds the gas valve open; if the flame goes out, the valve closes. That's why you have to hold the knob in for several seconds. When a burner lights but goes out on release, the thermocouple may be worn, dirty or out of position, or the valve's magnet unit may be weak. Spark igniters and switches also fail, especially after spills. Smeg induction cooktops depend on cookware detection and cooling fans, and zones can shut off from overheating or electronics faults.
Parts that tend to fail on Smeg cooktops
- Burner goes out when the knob is released
- Thermocouple out of position or worn
- Igniter clicking without lighting
- Induction zone shutting off mid-cook
- Cooling fan on induction not running

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.
Hold it longer first, since the thermocouple needs a few seconds to heat. If it still goes out, the thermocouple or its valve connection likely needs attention.
It may be overheating from a blocked cooling vent, not detecting the pan, or have an electronics fault. We check cookware compatibility, vents and controls.
