Common Cooktop Repair Issues and Solutions
1. Cooktop surface Damage
Common Cause
Likely suffering from light scratches and metal markings to severe cracking or pitting
How to Fix
Owner troubleshooting steps:
Light Scratches: Apply a baking soda paste (or a specialized cooktop cleaner like CeramaBryte) to the scratches, then buff with a soft microfiber cloth.
Metal Marks/Discoloration: Use a razor scraper at angle, paired with cooktop cream, to lift silvery metal markings or baked-on mineral deposits.
Stubborn Stains/Water Spots: Clean with white vinegar and baking soda. Spray vinegar, let it sit for 10 minutes, add baking soda, cover with a damp cloth, and scrub gently.
Pitting/Sugar Damage: Sugary spills (jelly, syrup) or melted plastic must be removed immediately with a razor blade while the surface is still warm to avoid permanent surface pitting.
Deep Scratches: A polishing kit attached to a drill (using white diamond metal polish) can significantly reduce deeper scratches, though it may not eliminate them completely.
Cracks: If the glass is cracked, it must be replaced. If a small chip occurs, it can be temporarily filled with heat-resistant epoxy, but a full replacement is safer for long-term use.
2. Gas leak from cooktop.
Common Cause
Usually caused by a faulty burner switch valve or gas unit inlet gas regulator, or gas line joints.
How to Fix
Owner troubleshooting steps:
No Flames/Sparks: Do not light matches, use light switches, or operate electrical appliances.
Shut Off Gas: If safe, turn off the main gas valve to the stove.
Ventilate: Open windows and doors if possible while leaving.
3. Gas Cooktop burner is not igniting
Common Cause
Usually caused by:
Clogged Burner Port
Misaligned Burner Cap
Wet or Dirty Igniter
No Power
How to Fix
Owner troubleshooting steps:
Food debris or grease often clogs the small hole near the igniter, preventing gas from reaching it. Use a small paper clip, needle, or twist tie to clear the burner gas jet hole.
If the burner cap is not perfectly seated or aligned, it can prevent proper ignition. Remove the grate and reposition the cap to ensure it sits flat.
If the stove was recently cleaned or a pot boiled over, the white porcelain igniter may be wet or covered in residue. Wipe it down with a dry cloth or clean it with a toothbrush.
The igniters require electricity to create a spark. Verify the cooktop is plugged in and check your home's circuit breaker.
If none of your burners are sparking, the main spark module may have failed.
4. Electric Cooktop burner is not igniting
Common Cause
Usually caused by:
Broken Heating Element: The element has burned out and needs replacement.
Failed Infinite Switch: The switch behind the knob is not sending voltage to the element.
Damaged Receptacle Block
How to Fix
Owner troubleshooting steps:
Power Reset: Turn off the circuit breaker for 5-10 minutes to reset the electronics.

“Vasilii fixed two appliances for us recently. He was on time, professional, and cleaned up after himself. His communication through the process was excellent, and his payment system was easy to use. I recommend his services highly.”
“Van was the service man that came out to replace the ice maker on my 28 year old White-Westinghouse refrigerator. He was very helpful finding an ice-maker that was made for my fridge because the ice-maker was an option in 1997 and the part was hard to find. He fixed the ice-maker but I had a concern about a old brittle water connector. He said he could replace it if he had a brass fitting on his truck. He happen to have one so I had him replace it. Thanks Van for all your help and a job well done. Van gets 5 stars. The price was reasonable but for a 5 star rating it needs to be better. Thats why overall rating was 4 star.”
“I’m very happy with the service from HeyKey Appliance and HVAC Repair. They fixed my GE refrigerator, which had an icemaker issue and a cooling problem in the top section. The technician was amazing, very polite and highly professional. He also shared some great tips on how to take better care of my appliances in the future. Excellent service from start to finish. Five stars and highly recommended!”
