When a cooktop stops working, dinner plans stall fast. Gleadale Appliance services repairs gas, electric, and induction cooktops in Maywood homes throughout the 90270 ZIP code, about 11 miles southeast of our Glendale base. Our focus is premium equipment. We service Sub-Zero refrigeration alongside Viking, Wolf, and Thermador cooking appliances, so we know how these high-end cooktops are built and where they tend to fail. We are an independent repair company, not affiliated with any manufacturer. That means we tell you plainly what is wrong, what it takes to fix it, and whether the repair makes sense for your cooktop.
Cooktop Problems We Fix in Maywood Kitchens
Most cooktop calls come down to a short list of symptoms. Some show up suddenly, like a burner that will not light. Others creep in, like a flame that gets weaker over months or a touch control that responds only some of the time. Catching a problem early often keeps a small repair from turning into a larger one.
These are the issues we see most often:
- Gas burners that click constantly or will not ignite
- Weak, yellow, or uneven flames
- Electric elements that stay cold or will not shut off
- Induction zones that do not detect cookware or show error codes
- Touch controls that are unresponsive or erratic
- Simmer settings that run too hot or burners that will not hold low heat
Gas Cooktop Repair
Gas cooktops from Viking, Wolf, and Thermador use sealed burners, spark igniters, and precise valves to deliver both high heat and steady low simmers. When one part wears out, the whole burner can act up. A burner that clicks without lighting usually points to a dirty or cracked igniter, a misaligned burner cap, or moisture after a spill. Constant clicking after the flame lights often means a failing spark module or a switch stuck in the on position.
Uneven or yellow flames can come from clogged burner ports, a cap sitting off-center, or a valve issue. We clean, adjust, and replace parts as needed, then test each burner across its full range. If you ever smell gas, do not try to diagnose it yourself. Leave the house and call your gas utility or 911 first. We can handle the repair once the area has been checked and is safe.
Electric and Induction Cooktop Repair
Electric radiant cooktops rely on heating elements beneath the glass and switches or control boards that regulate them. When a single zone fails, the cause is often a burned-out element, a bad infinite switch, or a loose wire connection. When several zones fail at once, we look at power supply, wiring, and the main control board.
Induction cooktops work differently. They heat the pan directly using magnetic fields, so problems usually involve electronics rather than elements. Common causes include a failing power board, an overheated cooling fan, or a sensor that no longer recognizes cookware. We read the error codes, test the components, and replace only what has actually failed. If the glass surface is cracked, we will explain whether replacing the top is practical for your model.

What to Expect When We Come Out
We start by asking what you have noticed: which burners or zones are affected, when the trouble started, and whether anything changed, like a recent spill or power outage. Then we inspect and test the cooktop to find the cause instead of guessing.
Before we do any work, we explain what we found and what the repair involves. If a part needs to be ordered, we tell you so and schedule a return visit. Premium cooktops often use model-specific parts, and we would rather get the right one than force a fit. Maywood is a compact city with a lot of homes in close quarters, and we keep the work area tidy and respect your kitchen and your time.
Quick Checks Before You Call
A few simple checks can sometimes solve the problem or help us diagnose it faster:
- Check the circuit breaker for electric and induction cooktops
- Make sure gas burner caps are seated flat and centered
- Dry the burner area completely after any spill or cleaning
- Confirm the cooktop lock or child lock is not engaged
- For induction, test with a pan a magnet sticks to firmly
