My propane cooktop in Midland has yellow flames. Is that a problem?

It can be. Yellow, floppy flames often mean dirty burners or an orifice that does not match propane. Stop using that burner and have it checked, since poor combustion is not something to ignore.

Do you repair glass-top cooktops in Mount Pleasant?

Yes. We test the element, switch and limiter, and check whether a replacement glass top is available if it is cracked. The price comes before the repair.

Propane burners and glass tops

On a propane cooktop, burners that light weakly, flame unevenly or keep clicking usually come down to a dirty or wet igniter, a misplaced burner cap, or clogged burner ports. If the cooktop was converted from natural gas, the orifices must match propane, and a mismatch shows up as yellow, lazy flames. Glass-top electric cooktops more often lose an element or a switch, and controls can be affected by storm surges.

Clean and dry the burner caps and igniters, make sure the propane tank has fuel, and check the breaker for electric models. If you smell gas, turn everything off, leave and call your propane supplier or 911. The technician tests ignition parts, burners, elements and switches, and quotes before repairing. Visits toward Mount Pleasant may be grouped on route days.

Before You Book: Cooktop Checks

Safe first steps for the most urgent cooktop problems, and when to leave it to a technician.

Gas SmellSafety: Don't try to find the leak yourself: leave the home without switching anything on or off, and call the gas utility or 911 from outside.
Gas Valve FailureSafety: Don't take a gas valve apart or lubricate it yourself; turn the cooktop's gas shutoff off if you can reach it safely and call us.
Burner Won't Turn OffSafety: Turn off the breaker for an electric cooktop, or close the gas shutoff if you can reach it safely, and don't use the cooktop until it's repaired.
Gas Smell Without FlameSafety: Turn the knob off if it's right in front of you, don't try to relight it or flip any switches, and leave the home and call the gas utility if the smell is strong or lingers.
