Cooktop repair in Langley Park & University Park
A built-in cooktop is a sign that a kitchen has been redone, and in this area that mostly means University Park houses and some Chillum and Avondale homes. Gas cooktops on Washington Gas are common, radiant glass tops appear in older remodels, and a few newer renovations use induction. Apartment kitchens in Langley Park and Adelphi almost always have a freestanding range instead.
Sorting out a burner or zone that fails
On a gas cooktop, a burner that clicks without lighting gets its cap seated, its ports cleared and its igniter checked for cracks or moisture before we test the spark module. Clicking that won't stop usually means water or grease has shorted a burner switch. On a radiant glass top we check the element, the infinite switch or touch control and the supply at the junction box. Induction zones that won't heat may be rejecting the cookware, so we test with a magnetic pan first, then check the cooling fan, the coil and the power board.
Getting under a built-in cooktop
Cooktops usually lift out from above once the clips or screws are freed, but in some University Park kitchens the cabinet below has a drawer or a wall oven in the way. Tell us how the space under the cooktop is used, and clear the drawer before the visit. A clear photo of the model label helps too.

That usually means the infinite switch, which cycles the element on and off, has welded its contacts closed. The element itself is fine but gets full power all the time. We test the switch and replace it, then check that the element and its wiring were not damaged by running too hot.
