Tick-tick-tick with no flame, or a coil burning orange on the lowest setting. Neither is how weeknight dinner should go. Our technicians fix gas, electric and induction cooktops and ranges in homes across Allen.
These six stove faults account for most of our cooktop calls around Allen. Each card covers typical symptoms, a sensible first step, and the parts usually involved.
What You'll Notice
Sparks fire but the gas never catches, or it flames up and goes out the second your hand leaves the knob.
While You Wait
When everything is cold, lift the cap away and clear every tiny port using a dry brush, then reseat it perfectly flat.
Usual Suspects
What You'll Notice
Ticking continues with the flame already lit, or multiple burners start sparking while every knob is off.
While You Wait
Soak up any spill near the knobs with paper towels, then leave the cooktop to air-dry overnight before using it again.
Usual Suspects
What You'll Notice
Three zones heat up and the fourth doesn't, or one only works when cranked all the way to high.
While You Wait
With a coil cooktop, trade the dead coil with a same-size good one. If the problem moves, the coil is bad.
Usual Suspects
What You'll Notice
A coil burns bright orange even on 2, or a smooth-top zone refuses to dial down from max.
While You Wait
Switch off the range's breaker if the knob can't kill the heat, and don't use that zone until it has been repaired.
Usual Suspects
What You'll Notice
Chips or cracks in the surface, zones powering down mid-simmer, or a hot-surface light stuck on long after cooking.
While You Wait
Cracked glass means stop cooking on it entirely. For the other faults, unlock the panel and wipe it bone dry.
Usual Suspects
What You'll Notice
Lazy yellow tips, a ring of fire with gaps in it, or a flame noticeably smaller than it used to be.
While You Wait
Scrub the burner head, poke out each port, and make sure the base sits snugly under its cap.

A pair of burners on our gas range clicked endlessly after lighting, morning and night, for weeks. The tech found moisture inside a spark switch, installed a replacement and tested every burner twice before heading out. Silence at last.

Front coil glowed red with the knob off. New infinite switch in well under an hour.
Raphael D.Bethany Lakes, Allen
Smooth-top zone shutting down mid-dinner. Diagnosed in minutes, part fitted two days later.

Wet burner caps and damp control panels cause more stove trouble than you'd guess. These six checks come first.
