Cooktop repair in Lanham & Glenn Dale
Separate cooktops are mostly found in the larger Glenn Dale houses, set into an island or a long counter above drawers or a wall oven nearby. In Lanham and Seabrook they turn up where a kitchen was remodeled around a wall oven. Gas units appear where a line is run to the kitchen, and smooth radiant or induction tops where the house is all electric.
Isolating the fault on a burner or zone
On a gas cooktop we watch each burner light. Constant clicking after the flame is lit usually means moisture or a cracked ignition switch, while no spark at all points to the spark module or its wiring. A burner that sparks but will not ignite gets its ports and cap cleaned and checked for alignment. On a radiant electric top, each element is measured for resistance and its infinite switch for output. Induction zones are tested through the unit's diagnostic mode, then the power board, coil and cooling fan are examined, since induction electronics shut down when they overheat.
Island cooktops and what sits underneath
Under an island cooktop there may be drawers, a downdraft vent, or a wall oven nearby. Clearing the drawers before the visit lets us reach the gas connection and wiring from below. If your island has a downdraft blower that also stopped working, mention it.

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.
The glass is replaced, not patched, and on most models the top is sold as an assembly with the frame. Whether it makes sense depends on the part's availability and the age of the unit. Stop using a cracked top on a radiant model, since spills can reach live elements.
