Many people have begun to abandon gas stoves in favor of electric cooktops. They are more economical, convenient and more attractive in appearance, especially when it comes to glass ceramic cooktops. But modern electric cooktops have one small disadvantage – a shorter lifespan due to the relative complexity and fragility of the internal system. Our Appliance Service Center technicians repair cooktops, glass ceramic cooktops, and gas cooktops. We carry out quality ZLINE KITCHEN & BATH Cooktop Repair in San Diego County.

Design features and types of electric cooktops

• Electric burner or more.
• Pairs of temperature sensors.
• Power wiring.
• Glass ceramic (if modern electric cooktops are involved).
• The control panel with which all the processes and programs of the electric cooktops are regulated.
• Insulating materials.
• The power cables.

Types of breakdowns and their signs

Here are the most common types of breakdowns with brief descriptions, so that you can independently determine the type of failure.

One or more burners do not heat

 If one or more burners are not working, the problem may be the following:

• Wiring or contacts.
• Control box. Call a master specializing in ZLINE KITCHEN & BATH Cooktop Repair and Service.
• The burner power regulator
• The problem may also be in the burner itself.

You can check the wiring and contact yourself if you have the proper knowledge and gauges. Problems with the control box, power regulator or the burner itself can only be fixed by a ZLINE KITCHEN & BATH Cooktop Repairs technician.

Electric cooktops won’t turn on

If the cooktops won’t turn on at all, it’s worth checking:

• The outlet, the plug and the power cord. Sometimes the problem is with the socket or plug.
• Terminals. Sometimes the terminals can melt due to voltage fluctuations.
• Thermal fuse. ZLINE KITCHEN & BATH Cooktop Repair and Service will repair professionally.
• Control unit (software failure, control panel failure).
• Touch control board does not work (relevant for plates that have this board).

If the cooktops have stopped turning on, the only thing you can do yourself is to check the integrity of the cable, plug and socket. Other breakdowns require the intervention of a qualified ZLINE KITCHEN & BATH Cooktop Repair technician.

Touch control does not respond

The cause is either the touch card or the control unit. If the touch card is not working, it most likely needs to be replaced. And the control unit should be checked for software errors, broken tracks or burned-out radio components. ZLINE KITCHEN & BATH Cooktop Repairs and Services will diagnose and fix the problem at the owner’s location.

Burner heats up without stopping

The cause is in the distribution box. Both software failures and physical damage are possible. But more often than not, the problem is a sticky burner relay that is in the box. ZLINE KITCHEN & BATH Cooktop Repair will perform a replacement control box.

If you notice an abnormality in the operation of the electric cooktops, or the unit has completely stopped turning on, we recommend immediately calling an Appliance Service Center technician, or take the cooktops to a service center. Often the repair of electric cooktops is reduced to the replacement of this or that part, so self-repair is undesirable. Our ZLINE KITCHEN & BATH Cooktop Repair and Service specialists can determine the source of the problem and how to fix it.
