Cooktop Repair Questions Answered

Quick answers to what Des Moines homeowners ask most.

Is it safe to use a smooth glass cooktop if it has a small crack in it?
No, it is not safe to operate a cracked glass cooktop. Liquids from pots can spill through the crack and come into direct contact with live high-voltage electrical heating elements underneath, causing an electrical short-circuit, a severe fire hazard, or a dangerous shock to the user.
Why is my induction cooktop not detecting my pots or heating up?
Induction cooktops use magnetic fields to transfer heat directly to the pan. If the cooktop won't activate, you may be using non-magnetic cookware (like aluminum or copper). If the pots are induction-ready, the internal induction generator board or the digital pan detection sensor has failed.
Why does my electric radiant cooktop element stay on high heat constantly?
If a smooth-top burner runs hot and refuses to turn down when you adjust the dial, the infinite control switch behind the knob has short-circuited internally. The switch is stuck in the closed position, passing constant maximum voltage to the radiant heating element.
What causes the touch controls on my smart cooktop to lock or stop responding?
Unresponsive touch controls usually indicate that the cooktop lock feature has been activated accidentally, or food residue is blocking the capacitive touch sensor. If cleaning the glass and resetting the power breaker doesn't fix it, the electronic user interface board has failed.
