Do you repair cooktops in all Inglewood ZIP codes?

Yes. We serve homes in 90301, 90302, 90303 and 90305, along with nearby cities such as Culver City and Los Angeles.

Why does my gas burner click but not light?

Common causes are a misaligned burner cap, moisture after cleaning, or clogged burner ports. If those aren't the problem, a worn igniter or spark module may be. We test the ignition system to find the failed part.

Are you authorized by Wolf or Viking?

No. We are an independent repair company and are not affiliated with or endorsed by Sub-Zero, Viking, Wolf, Thermador or any other manufacturer.

Can a cracked glass cooktop be repaired?

A cracked glass-ceramic surface generally needs to be replaced, not patched. Stop using the cooktop until it's inspected, because cracks can expose electrical parts underneath.

My induction cooktop shows an error code. What should I do?

Write down or photograph the code. Make sure your pan is magnetic, then try turning the cooktop off at the breaker for a minute. If the code comes back, schedule a diagnosis so we can test the boards, coils and sensors.

What should I do if I smell gas near my cooktop?

Don't light anything or flip switches. Leave the home and call your gas utility from outside. After the utility clears it, we can repair the cooktop.

Cooktop Problems We See in Inglewood Kitchens

Most cooktop calls fall into a few patterns. The cooktop type matters, because a gas rangetop, an induction surface and a radiant electric cooktop fail in different ways. Telling us what you see and hear helps us bring the right parts and tools.

Gas burners that click but won't light, or light and then go out
Constant clicking from igniters even when the knobs are off
Uneven, yellow or lifting flames instead of a steady blue flame
Induction zones that won't detect a pan or show an error code
Radiant electric elements that won't heat or won't shut off
Touch controls that are unresponsive or act on their own
Cracked or chipped glass-ceramic surfaces
Loose, stiff or broken control knobs and valves

Gas Cooktops: Igniters, Burners and Valves

On Wolf, Viking and Thermador gas cooktops, a burner that won't light is often caused by something simple. A burner cap that isn't seated correctly, moisture after cleaning, or food buildup in the ports can block the spark or the gas flow. If cleaning and drying don't fix it, the cause may be a worn igniter, a failing spark module or a faulty switch behind the knob.

Nonstop clicking usually means moisture or a shorted switch is telling the spark module to keep firing. Weak or uneven flames can point to clogged ports, a misaligned burner base or a valve problem. We test each part rather than replacing parts by guesswork.

If you smell gas, don't try to light the burners. Leave the house and contact your gas utility from outside. Once the utility has made the home safe, we can handle the cooktop repair.

Induction and Electric Cooktops

Induction cooktops depend on power boards, induction coils, cooling fans and sensors working together. When a zone won't recognize a pan, the cookware may simply not be magnetic. It can also be a failed coil or a generator board fault. Error codes help narrow it down, and we confirm the cause with testing before ordering any part.

Radiant electric cooktops usually fail at the heating element, the infinite switch or the control board. An element that stays on when it's switched off should be looked at soon. Turn it off at the breaker until it can be inspected.

What to Expect From a Repair Visit

We start by asking what happened and when. Then we inspect the cooktop and test the suspect parts. You get a clear explanation of what failed and what the repair involves before any work begins. Many repairs can be finished during the first visit. Some model-specific parts for premium cooktops have to be ordered, and in that case we schedule a return trip to install them.

To help us prepare, have the model and serial number ready if you can find them. The rating plate is usually under the cooktop, on the side of the burner box, or listed in your owner's manual. A photo of any error code is useful too.
