The short answer
Yes, we repair gas, electric, and induction cooktops in San Gabriel homes, including Viking, Wolf, and Thermador models in kitchens with Sub-Zero refrigeration. Common fixes include igniters, spark modules, burner valves, touch controls, heating elements, induction power boards, and glass tops.
If a burner won't light, an igniter keeps clicking, or an induction zone keeps showing an error code, we can help. We repair premium cooktops in homes across San Gabriel (ZIP 91776). Our technicians travel from our base in Glendale, about 10 miles west. We focus on high-end kitchens, the kind built around Sub-Zero refrigeration with cooktops from Viking, Wolf, and Thermador. We are an independent repair company, not affiliated with any manufacturer, and we work on gas, electric radiant, and induction models. Below you'll find the problems we fix most often, the checks you can safely do yourself, and what to expect when a technician comes to your home.
Gas cooktop problems we fix
Most gas cooktop calls come down to ignition and flame quality. Sealed burners on Wolf, Viking, and Thermador units use a spark module, an igniter at each burner, a switch on each knob, and a gas valve behind each control. When one of those parts weakens, the symptom is easy to notice, but it isn't always easy to trace to the right part.
We test the spark module, igniter electrodes, switches, and wiring. We also check burner caps and ports for blockage and adjust or replace parts until the flame burns steady and blue at both high heat and simmer. If a burner valve is sticking or leaking, we replace it rather than patching it.
- Constant clicking after the burner lights, often from moisture or a stuck spark switch
- No spark at one burner, or at all of them
- A burner that lights, then goes out when you release the knob
- Yellow, uneven, or lifting flames
- A weak simmer, or a burner that won't hold low heat
- Stiff, loose, or broken control knobs
Electric and induction cooktop repairs
Smooth-top electric and induction cooktops fail in different ways. On radiant models, a zone that stays cold or won't shut off usually points to an element, a temperature limiter, or a control relay. On induction models, trouble usually shows up as an error code, a fan that runs without heating, or a zone that won't recognize a pan.
Induction cooktops from Thermador, Wolf, and Viking depend on cooling fans and power boards, and those parts don't handle blocked airflow or loose connections well. We read the fault codes, check supply voltage at the junction box, and inspect the cooling path under the counter. Then we test the boards before recommending any part, so you aren't paying for guesses.
- Error codes or flashing indicator lights
- Touch controls that don't respond or turn on by themselves
- One zone heating weakly or not at all
- A pan that isn't detected, even with compatible cookware
- Cracked or chipped glass that needs a new top
Checks you can do before booking
A few quick checks can sometimes solve the problem. If they don't, they help us arrive with the right parts.
- If you smell gas, turn off the burners, don't use light switches or open flames, leave the house, and call your gas utility or 911 from outside.
- After a spill or a cleaning, let the burner caps and bases dry completely. Water around an igniter is a common cause of nonstop clicking.
- Make sure each burner cap sits flat and centered on its base.
- For electric or induction units, check the breaker and look for a control lock or child lock setting.
- Write down any error code and the model number. The model number is usually on a label under the cooktop or inside the burner box.

How a cooktop repair visit works in San Gabriel
When you book, we'll ask for the brand, model, fuel type, and what you're seeing. With that information, the technician can bring the igniters, switches, and spark modules your model commonly needs. Specialized parts, such as induction boards or replacement glass, sometimes have to be ordered after diagnosis. If that happens, we'll explain your options before any work starts.
Premium cooktops are usually set into stone counters, and some are paired with a downdraft vent or a separate wall oven. We work carefully around finished counters and cabinetry. Before we leave, we test the whole cooktop, not just the burner you called about.
