We are independent and have no tie to Whirlpool. If the cooktop is still inside its Whirlpool warranty, the manufacturer should be your first call. Once that coverage has ended, include the model number and the symptom in your booking so parts can be looked up ahead of the visit.

How Whirlpool designs its cooktops
Whirlpool gas cooktops use spark ignition, and the most common call is a burner that clicks without lighting. The cap may be off-center, the ports clogged, or the ceramic igniter cracked so the spark jumps to the wrong place. If every burner clicks at once and won't stop, a spark switch behind one knob is usually wet or shorted. On electric radiant cooktops, a single dead zone usually means a burned-out element, while a zone stuck on high points to the infinite switch that controls it. A cracked glass top needs replacement before the cooktop is used again. Coil cooktops lose elements and burn their receptacles, and the burned receptacle has to be replaced with the element or the new one will fail too.

Still have a question?
Get in touch with the brand, the symptom and, if you can find it, the model number. Some things we can answer right away; others need a technician in front of the machine.
Lift the cap, clear the ports with a pin and reseat it flat. If that changes nothing, the igniter may be cracked or the gas flow to that burner may be restricted. We test both.
No. A zone stuck on high usually means the switch has failed. Turn the power off at the breaker and don't use the cooktop until it's repaired.
