  • Top 5 problems with the Electric Cooktop

    Signs. Likely Causes. Solution.

    Signs: No response when turning knobs or pressing touch controls; no heat or lights.
    Likely Causes: Tripped circuit breaker, faulty power cord, defective control board, or blown internal fuse.
    Solution: Check the breaker and power supply first. Inspect internal fuses and test the control board for continuity or replace if needed.

    Signs: One or more elements stay cold even though turned on.
    Likely Causes: Failed heating element, bad infinite switch, or wiring issue.
    Solution: Test the heating element for continuity. If functional, test the infinite switch and replace faulty components.

    Signs: "Hot surface" or burner light won’t turn off.
    Likely Causes: Faulty surface element switch or stuck relay on the control board.
    Solution: Test the surface switches; replace the defective switch or control board if needed.

    Signs: Burners heat too slowly or don’t reach high temperature.
    Likely Causes: Worn-out heating elements, failing infinite switch, or voltage drop.
    Solution: Test voltage to the cooktop. Replace any underperforming elements or switches.

    Signs: Visible cracks, often from impact or sudden temperature change.
    Likely Causes: Dropped object, thermal shock, or improper installation.
    Solution: The glass top must be replaced — do not use the cooktop with cracks due to safety risks.

    Likely Causes: Stuck infinite switch or shorted control board relay.
    Solution: Disconnect power immediately. Test and replace the infinite switch or control board.

    Signs: Visible sparks, smoke, or burning smell during use.
    Likely Causes: Damaged wiring, shorted element, or liquid spill reaching electrical components.
    Solution: Turn off power. Inspect and replace damaged parts. Clean up any spills under the glass top.

    Signs: Unresponsive buttons, flashing errors, or frozen display.
    Likely Causes: Moisture on panel, control board failure, or sensor malfunction.
    Solution: Dry the surface thoroughly. If unresponsive after reset, replace the touch control panel or board.

    Signs: Burner cuts off before desired temperature is reached.
    Likely Causes: Thermal limiter engaging too early, faulty sensor, or ventilation issue.
    Solution: Test the limiter and temperature sensors. Ensure airflow isn’t obstructed.

    1. Signs: Breaker trips every time the cooktop is used.
      Likely Causes: Internal short circuit, damaged wiring, or water ingress.
      Solution: Check wiring for damage or corrosion. Dry any moisture and replace shorted components.
