Kenmore Cooktop Repair in Houses, Townhomes and Condos
We are independent: not a Kenmore service center, and not authorized by Kenmore. If your cooktop is still inside the Kenmore warranty, go to the manufacturer first. Once it's past that coverage, a model number in your booking lets us source parts ahead of the visit.
How a Cooktop Repair Visit Works
Book the Visit
Call or use the form. Name the make and describe the fault; a model number, if handy, speeds up parts.
Find the Fault
At your place, the technician checks the appliance and whatever feeds it (power, water, drain, gas or venting) until the cause is clear.
Approve the Price
You get a plain explanation and a price for the repair. The work starts only if you say yes.
Fix and Check
The new part is fitted and the appliance is run through a cycle, so you can see it working.
What's inside a Kenmore cooktop
Kenmore cooktops and range tops have been built by more than one supplier, in gas, glass radiant and coil electric. Gas trouble is usually small: a burner that clicks without lighting has moisture in a spark switch, a cracked porcelain electrode or a cap sitting off its seat, and nonstop sparking after a spill is almost always a wet switch. On glass radiant tops, a zone that never warms or never turns down points to its ribbon element or the burner switch behind the knob. Coil cooktops, still common in original kitchens and rentals, plug their elements into receptacle blocks that burn and loosen with years of heat. Once a receptacle is pitted and blackened, the coil that sat in it is usually damaged too, and both get replaced.
Parts that tend to fail on Kenmore cooktops
- Spark switch wet and clicking constantly
- Porcelain electrode cracked
- Radiant element open circuit
- Infinite switch stuck on high
- Coil receptacle burned and pitted

Kenmore Cooktop Repair Questions
The questions that come up most often. Anything not covered here, ask us when you call, or add it to the booking form's notes field.
Have a different question?
Tell us what make it is and what's going wrong. A few things can be settled over the phone, and anything else gets looked at during the visit.
Turn the burners off and let the top dry for a few hours, or run a hair dryer gently around the knobs. Water in a spark switch is the usual cause and it often clears once dry. If the clicking continues, we replace the switch that is shorting.
The burner switch for that zone is the likely cause, since it has stopped cycling the element on the lower settings. We meter the switch and the element and replace only the one that fails.
