Gas burner clicks but won't light
We test the igniter, spark module, and gas valve with a multimeter, then replace the failed component. After the repair we leak-test the connection and confirm a clean blue flame on every burner before we leave.
When your cooktop quits, dinner plans change fast. Our cooktop repair Cupertino CA service gets your burners, igniters, and heating elements working again, usually the same day you call. We handle gas, electric, and induction models from Wolf, Thermador, Bosch, Samsung, and LG. Whether it's a gas cooktop not igniting or an induction unit throwing error codes, we diagnose it, fix it, and test every burner before we leave.

Cooktop repair is the work of tracing why a burner, igniter, or control board stopped doing its job, then replacing or recalibrating the failed part so every zone heats on command. On a gas cooktop that means checking the igniter, spark module, gas valve, and burner cap alignment. On electric and induction units it means testing the heating element, thermostat, and control board with a multimeter and clamp meter. We carry the parts and tools to finish most repairs in one visit.
Cupertino homeowners call us for the same handful of failures: a gas burner that clicks but never lights, an induction zone that flashes an error and shuts off, or a control board that died after a power surge. Homes in Monta Vista and Rancho Rinconada tend to have older gas cooktops with worn igniters, while newer builds in Seven Springs often have built-in induction units with sensitive electronics. If you've been searching for cooktop repair near me Cupertino CA, we're local and we stock the common parts.

We run every burner through a complete heat cycle, checking ignition, flame quality, and temperature hold. On induction and electric units we confirm each zone reaches its set temperature. You see it working before we pack up our tools.

A homeowner in Monta Vista had a Wolf gas cooktop where two burners clicked but never lit. They'd been cooking on the two working burners for three weeks and were close to replacing the whole unit.
We diagnosed a failed spark module and a worn igniter on the front burner. Both were replaced in 70 minutes, and every burner lit on the first click. The homeowner spent $310 instead of $2,800 on a new cooktop.
An induction cooktop in Seven Springs started flashing an error code and shutting off mid-boil. Two zones were dead, and the homeowner was using a portable hot plate while deciding what to do.
We isolated the fault to the induction power board using a clamp meter and thermal imaging camera. The board was replaced with a matched part, and all four zones reached temperature in testing. Total repair time was 95 minutes.
An electric cooktop in Rancho Rinconada had one zone that wouldn't heat and another that heated unevenly, burning food on one side. The breaker had tripped twice in the past month.
We tested the heating element and thermostat with a multimeter and found a burned-out element plus a failing thermostat. Both were replaced in 80 minutes. All four zones now heat evenly, and the breaker has held since.

Induction faults usually trace to the power board, coil, or touch panel. We isolate the failed board with a clamp meter and thermal imaging camera, replace it with a matched part, and verify each zone reaches temperature.
We test the heating element, thermostat, and control board, then replace the failed part. After the repair we run each zone through a full heat cycle to confirm even temperature across the entire surface.
We confirm the board is the fault, not the wiring or breaker, then replace it with a manufacturer-matched control board. Most boards for Samsung, LG, GE, and Whirlpool cooktops are stocked for same-day repair.
$180 - $650 depending on the failed part and cooktop type
Cooktop repair pricing in Cupertino depends on the part that failed, the brand, and how accessible the cooktop is. Most repairs run $180 to $450 in 2026, including the part and labor. A simple igniter or element swap sits at the low end, while a control board or induction module replacement lands higher. We quote a flat price before we start, so you're never surprised. If the repair costs more than the cooktop is worth, we'll tell you straight and help you weigh replacement.
A cooktop repair costs a fraction of replacing a built-in unit, which can run $1,500 to $4,000 installed. Most repairs we do cost less than 20% of a replacement, and the fix is warrantied. That's money well spent.
Gas cooktops are usually the least expensive to repair because igniters and spark modules are simple parts. Electric cooktops sit in the middle. Induction cooktops cost more because the power boards and coils are expensive components.
An igniter or heating element replacement is a straightforward repair. A control board or induction module costs more because the part itself is expensive. We tell you which category your repair falls into before we start.
Parts for Sub-Zero, Wolf, Viking, and Thermador units cost more than parts for GE, Whirlpool, or Frigidaire. High-end brands also take longer to access. We stock common parts for all these brands to keep the repair to one visit.
A freestanding cooktop is easier to pull than a built-in unit surrounded by tight cabinetry. Built-in cooktops in Downtown Cupertino condos take longer to access, which adds labor time. We quote the access cost upfront.
“Our Wolf gas cooktop stopped igniting on two burners and we'd been putting off the repair for weeks. The technician showed up the same afternoon, diagnosed a failed spark module, and had it fixed in under an hour. He leak-tested everything and showed me the blue flame on each burner before he left. Fair price, no upsell.”

✓ Verified“Induction cooktop started throwing an error code and shutting off mid-boil. I called Same Day Appliance Repair Cupertino and they came out the next morning. Turned out to be a control board issue. They had the part on the truck and finished the repair in about 75 minutes. Kitchen's been working perfectly since.”
David L.Homeowner, Rancho Rinconada
✓ Verified“Our electric cooktop had one zone that wouldn't heat at all. The technician tested the element and thermostat with a multimeter, found a burned-out element, and replaced it on the spot. He was clean, polite, and explained what went wrong. Cost was right in the range they quoted on the phone. I'd call them again.”

The most common cause is a worn or wet igniter, followed by a failed spark module or a clogged burner cap. If you hear clicking but see no flame, the spark is firing but the gas isn't reaching it, which usually means a blocked burner port or a bad gas valve. We test each component with a multimeter and leak detector, then replace the failed part and confirm a clean blue flame on every burner.
Yes. We repair induction cooktops from Bosch, Thermador, Wolf, Samsung, LG, and GE, including error-code faults, dead zones, and control board failures. Induction units are electronics-heavy, so we test the power board, coil, and touch panel with a clamp meter and thermal imaging camera to isolate the fault. Most induction repairs finish in one visit because we stock the common boards.
Most cooktop repairs take 60 to 90 minutes on-site once the technician arrives. Diagnosis runs 20 to 40 minutes, and the repair itself is usually 30 to 60 minutes depending on the part. If we have to order a specialty board for a Sub-Zero or Viking unit, it can take two to four days. We'll tell you the timeline upfront.
