Cooktop Repair — Book a Visit Today
We repair gas and electric cooktops, glass-top and coil, as an independent shop working on all major brands. Cooktops usually quit in small ways first. One burner clicks and clicks without lighting, or a glass surface heats and then drops out mid-simmer, or the touch controls go dead and beep at nothing. Behind those symptoms sit spark modules, igniters, valves, radiant elements, infinite switches, and control boards that slowly cook themselves through years of West Texas summers. Our visit starts with the failure you describe, then we check power, continuity, and gas flow. We test before we replace parts. If your cooktop is half working or fully dark, call us and tell us what you saw and smelled.

The cooktop symptoms we hear most
- "It clicks but won't light" Spark igniter, a wet or cracked electrode, or a clogged burner port
- "One burner is stone cold" Failed radiant element, burnt receptacle, or an open infinite switch
- "Smells like gas near the stove" Loose fitting, worn valve stem, or a burner not seating. Shut it off and call
- "Buttons don't respond anymore" Touch control ribbon, membrane switch, or a failed control board
- "Low flame no matter the setting" Regulator trouble, an orifice sized for the wrong gas, or valve blockage
Safe things to check first
Worth a look before you call — sometimes it saves you the visit.
- 1Confirm the breaker for the cooktop hasn't tripped, and reset it once.
- 2Look for standing spills or water under the burner caps, then dry everything fully.
- 3Check that burner caps and grates sit flat in their proper spots.
- 4On gas, make sure the shutoff valve behind or under the unit is fully open.

What homeowners say after the visit
“The tech double-checked gas connections before leaving even though the job was electric. Careful people.”
Lois W.El Paso, TX“From first call to spinning drum, under 30 hours. Everything in writing.”
Cole R.Plano, TX“They serviced the rental across town and sent photos of the finished repair. Perfect for a landlord.”
Meg A.Garland, TXCooktop Repair — quick answers
Should I keep using a cooktop that smells like gas?
No. Turn every knob off, shut the gas valve if you can reach it, open a window, and leave the burners alone. If the smell is strong, step outside and call your gas utility first, then reach us.
Why does my glass top cycle on and off?
That is usually normal. Radiant elements pulse to hold a temperature. If the cycling feels wrong, meaning long cold stretches or heat that never comes back, the infinite switch or the element may be failing and needs testing.
Can a cracked glass cooktop be repaired?
Cracks in ceramic glass don't get patched. The surface panel gets replaced. Stop using the cooktop right away, since spills reaching wiring under a crack create a shock and short hazard.
Do hard water spills damage a cooktop?
They can. Mineral crust from Lubbock-area water bakes onto glass and down into gas ports. That buildup blocks flame and traps heat. Cleaning helps, but stubborn scale around igniters sometimes hides a part that already gave out.
Is it worth repairing an older cooktop?
Often yes, especially with a common failure like an element, igniter, or switch. Age matters less than part availability. We tell you what we find and what it takes, then you decide the next step.
What should I have ready when I call?
Brand, rough age, and the model number if you can find it on a label underneath or in your paperwork. Then describe what happens: which burner, what sound, what smell. That detail speeds up the diagnosis.
How it works
- Step 1
Tell us the symptom
Call us or fill out the form and describe what you hear, smell, or see. A noise, a leak, an error code, a burning odor. Give us the brand and rough age if you know them.
- Step 2
We come look
A technician shows up with common parts on the truck. We test the machine instead of guessing. Then we explain what failed in plain words, and what the repair takes, before anything gets opened up.
- Step 3
You decide, we repair
Nothing gets replaced without your go-ahead. Most repairs finish the same visit. If a part has to be ordered, we tell you straight and set a return time that works for your day.

Why homeowners call us
- Hard water is our specialtyWest Texas scale wrecks dishwashers, ice makers, and water valves, and we see it daily. Spray arms clog. Heating elements crust over and inlet screens choke up white. We clean and replace the parts scale eats first.
- Built for Texas summersHeat pushes refrigerators and freezers hard. Condenser coils pack with dust, compressors run nonstop, and garage freezers quit in triple digits. We check cooling systems for heat load, not just for the obvious broken part.
- Plain talk, no runaroundWe tell you what died and why. If a machine is not worth fixing, we say so. You get the reasoning instead of a sales pitch, and you make the call yourself.
- Most brands, most machinesWashers, dryers, ranges, ovens, dishwashers, fridges, freezers. We work as an independent shop on all major brands, top load and front load, gas and electric. One call covers the laundry room and the kitchen.
- All major brands, gas & electricEvery major appliance brand, gas and electric, handled by an independent shop.
