Cooktop repair in Ottawa

Gas cooktops

Burners that won’t ignite, clicking with no flame, weak or yellow flames, a gas smell, burners that won’t simmer, and failed ignition switches. Details on gas cooktop repair.

Electric coil cooktops

A burner that won’t heat or glows too bright at every setting, a failed infinite switch, a loose or scorched receptacle, and a burned-out terminal block.

Smoothtop ceramic-glass cooktops

Cracked glass, a radiant burner that won’t heat, a hot-surface light stuck on, a control lockout or error, and cooling-fan failure on some built-ins. Details on glass top stove repair.

Induction cooktops

Error codes (such as E0 to E9, depending on the brand), no pan detected, a fan that runs constantly, power-board failure and an unresponsive touch panel. Details on induction stove repair.

On gas cooktops our TSSA-certified technicians check the manifold, igniters, spark module and burner valves, and leak-test any connection they open. On induction we test the IGBT power board, the coils, the cooling fan and the control board. On smoothtops we test each surface element, its limiter, the infinite switch and any bridge element. On coil tops, the element, receptacle, switch and terminal block. On a built-in cooktop, the technician works from the cabinet below or lifts the unit out of the counter.

In Ontario, gas appliance work must be done by a TSSA-certified gas technician, so don’t let anyone uncertified work on a gas cooktop. In Gatineau, gas visits are confirmed when you book.

A cooktop sits in the counter on its own, often over a drawer or with a separate wall oven elsewhere. A range combines burners and an oven in one appliance. The parts on top are largely the same, but access and wiring differ. For a full range, see range repair or gas range repair; for the oven, wall oven repair; and for every type of cooking appliance, our main stove and oven repair page.

Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Bosch, Miele, GE, Samsung, LG, Maytag, Electrolux, Frigidaire, Jenn-Air, Viking, Wolf, Thermador, Fisher & Paykel, Blomberg, Kenmore and Amana. Parts for premium brands sometimes have to be ordered; we tell you the timeline on arrival.

Gas cooktop igniter and switch repairs almost always make sense: the parts are inexpensive and fail predictably. Induction power-board failures on premium brands such as Wolf and Miele are usually worth fixing, because those cooktops cost far more to replace than to repair. The borderline case is smoothtop glass on a unit older than seven or eight years, where the glass alone can cost more than the cooktop is worth.

We tell you straight which side of the line your problem is on, with the part price, before you decide. Our repair or replace guide covers cooking appliances by age and fault.

The diagnostic for electric and induction cooktops is $89 + tax; gas cooktops and commercial units are $129 + tax. If you decline the quote, the diagnostic is all you owe. What pushes the price of a cooktop repair up or down is explained on stove and cooktop repair cost.
