Why does my Smeg gas burner go out as soon as I let go of the knob?

On models with flame-failure protection, you have to hold the knob in for several seconds so the thermocouple heats up and holds the valve open. If it still goes out after a proper hold, the thermocouple may be dirty, out of position or failed. That is a safety part, so it should be replaced rather than bypassed.

One burner on my Harrisburg island cooktop keeps clicking after it lights. What causes that?

Usually moisture or residue on the igniter, or a burner cap that is not seated flat. Let it dry fully and reseat the cap. If the clicking continues, the switch or spark module may be at fault, which we can test and replace.

Can you replace the cracked glass on a cooktop in my Concord kitchen?

Often, if the manufacturer still supplies the glass top for your model. We check part availability with your model number and quote the repair first. If the glass is not available, we will talk through replacement options.

Smeg Cooktops: What We Check First

Smeg makes built-in cooktops in gas, induction and electric ceramic versions, many styled to match its ranges and ovens. The gas units use spark ignition from a shared module, with a small switch behind each knob that triggers the spark. Many Smeg gas hobs also carry flame-failure devices, which use a thermocouple beside each burner to hold the gas valve open only while a flame is present. Induction models rely on a power board, cooling fans and coil sensors under the glass.

Wet or dirty igniter switches causing nonstop clicking
Flame-failure thermocouple letting the burner die on release
Misaligned burner caps producing uneven or failed ignition
Induction power board or cooling fan faults shutting zones off

The full explanation, including what you can safely check yourself and when repair beats replacement, is in our Smeg cooktop repair guide.

Island cooktops and remodeled counters

Kitchens in the newer subdivisions often put a gas or glass cooktop in the island, with the wall oven elsewhere. Gas burners that click without lighting usually have spill residue on the igniter or a misaligned burner cap. Radiant glass tops more often lose a single element, a switch or the hot-surface indicator. Induction units add a power board and cooling fan that can fail after a surge.

In older Concord homes, cooktops are sometimes squeezed into counters cut for a different model, and wiring or the gas connection can be tight underneath. Before calling, make sure burner caps are seated, wipe the igniters dry, and check the breaker. If you smell gas, turn the burner off, leave, and call the gas utility or 911.

The technician tests igniters, spark modules, elements, switches and controls from above and below the counter, then gives you the diagnosis and price. A cracked glass top can often be replaced on its own, and we will tell you if the part is still available.
