Cooktop Repair in Houston

A cooktop has few moving parts, so most problems trace back to the element, burner, igniter, switch or control. Frigidaire electric cooktops use radiant elements under glass, and gas models use sealed burners with spark igniters.

Cooking spills and humid Houston air are the usual culprits. Boiled-over liquid gets under burner caps and into igniters, and moisture can cause a touch panel to misread. Heavy pans dropped or dragged on a radiant surface can also crack the glass, which is a repair we price before ordering.

We check power or gas supply, clean the burner or test the element, test the switch and the control, and inspect the surface. When the cooktop is old and the repair is big, we say honestly if replacement is the better choice.
