Is It Worth Repairing a Cooktop?
Yes, it’s worth it to repair cooktops. Before rushing out and buying a new one, consider the benefits of repair. In many cases, a professional repair can be a better solution than replacing your entire cooktop.
- Save money: Repairs are typically a fraction of the cost of a new cooktop. Even with parts and labor, fixing your existing appliance is often significantly less expensive than replacing it.
- Extend appliance lifespan: A timely repair can address minor issues before they turn into larger problems, extending the lifespan of your cooktop for years to come.
- Environmentally friendly: Appliance repairs keep perfectly functional equipment out of landfills, reducing your environmental impact.
- Maintain functionality: You'll avoid the hassle of finding a new cooktop that perfectly fits your countertop cutout and electrical configuration.
While some repairs may seem simple enough to tackle yourself, it's always best to consult a qualified appliance repair professional. They have the expertise to diagnose the problem accurately and often have access to genuine parts that may not be readily available to the public.
Common Cooktop Problems Mr. Appliance Repairs
With more than 25 years of experience repairing appliances, Mr. Appliance can easily diagnose and repair a variety of common cooktop problems.
- Cooktop won’t turn on: A complete lack of power could be due to a faulty connection, a malfunctioning switch, or a deeper electrical issue. Check the power source to the cooktop and confirm it hasn’t been accidentally unplugged or the breaker flipped. If not, call the professionals at Mr. Appliance for a quick diagnosis and cooktop repair.
- Burner isn’t heating properly: This might be caused by a damaged heating element, a loose connection, or a problem with the infinite switch (on electric cooktops) that controls heat levels. Figure out why your cooktop isn’t heating properly with the help of Mr. Appliance’s courteous and efficient service professionals.
- Difficulty adjusting burner temperature: Inconsistent or sluggish temperature control could indicate a faulty infinite switch, sensor, or wiring issues. Book an appointment easily online and on your schedule with Mr. Appliance.
- Sparking when turning on the cooktop: While a small initial spark is normal, excessive sparking suggests a faulty igniter or improper burner cap placement. Mr. Appliance’s service professionals can help source and install any needed parts for your cooktop.
- Indicator lights not working: Burned-out bulbs or a malfunctioning control panel could be behind unresponsive indicator lights. With labor and parts backed by the Neighborly Done Right Promise™, you can trust Mr. Appliance to handle your cooktop repair.
- Gas odor when using the cooktop: A gas stove leak is a serious safety concern. If you smell gas, turn off the cooktop immediately and call Mr. Appliance for fast, professional service.

Cooktop Repair FAQs
Can You Repair a Cooktop By Yourself?
You may be able to handle some minor repairs yourself — such as cleaning debris and reconnecting the power — but it’s always best to let professionals handle repairs. DIY can be dangerous and cost you more money in the long run.
Can You Repair an Electric Cooktop?
Yes, you can repair an electric cooktop. While some repairs can be as simple as cleaning debris, most repairs require a service professional. Contact Mr. Appliance to learn more about our electric cooktop repair services.
Why Won’t My Gas Stove Burner Light?
The most common issue with cooktops not lighting is debris, like food crumbs, blocking the flow of gas needed to light a flame on the stovetop. If that’s not the case, there could be a faulty spark igniter connection that needs to be replaced by a professional.
How Do I Remove Electric Burners on a Cooktop?
Check your manual to confirm that the cooktop burners are removable. If so, turn off all burners and the breaker to the cooktop or unplug it. Grip the coil and lift it up slowly. You may have to rock it back and forth until it releases from the socket. If it’s not budging, contact a professional to remove it.
How Do I Clean Stove Burners?
For an electric stovetop, first, unplug the appliance and then remove the electric coil burners. Wipe it with a soft towel or sponge with warm, soapy water, being careful not to get the electric connection wet. For gas stovetops, dampen a small cloth with warm, soapy water and wipe around the burner. Next, remove the burner caps and use a toothbrush to remove all food debris in and around the burner slots.
