Cooktop Notes for This Area
Separate cooktops are a fixture of the 1960s split-levels in Wellington, Stratford Landing and Waynewood, where the original plan paired a counter-mounted unit with a wall oven. Many have since been replaced with gas models on Washington Gas lines, smooth radiant glass, or induction. In Hollin Hills and Belle Haven remodels, cooktops sometimes moved to an island, with wiring or gas run up through the floor.
Sorting ignition, gas flow and surface-element faults
On a gas cooktop that clicks without lighting, we first remove and reseat the burner caps and clean the ports, since misaligned caps and spillover are frequent causes. Then we check the igniter electrodes for cracks, the gap to the burner, and the wiring back to the spark module. Constant clicking after the knob is off points to moisture or a shorted switch on the valve stem. On radiant glass, an element that stays cold or glows only on high leads us to the element, the infinite switch and the limiter. Induction models are approached through their error codes, then the power boards, coil connections and cooling fan.
Island cooktops and cracked glass
Before using a radiant or induction cooktop with a crack in the glass, switch off its breaker; spilled liquid can reach live parts beneath. On island installations, tell us whether there is a cabinet door below that gives access to the gas valve or junction box, because that changes how the unit comes out.

Cooktop Repair: Your Questions
Brief answers to what customers most often ask us. Don't see yours? Ask when you call, or add it to the notes when you book online.
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.
Usually the infinite switch is at fault. It cycles power to the element to set lower heats, and when its contacts weld or burn out, the element runs either full on or not at all. We test the element for continuity and then check the switch's output while turning the knob.
