Why does one burner on my Thor rangetop light and then go out?

Usually the flame is not reaching the reignition sensing point evenly, often because the cap is off center or the ports are clogged. Clean and reseat the burner parts first. If it keeps happening, the electrode or switch needs testing.

Can you still repair an old coil cooktop in my Lancaster kitchen?

Usually, yes. Coil elements, receptacles and infinite switches are common parts for most older models. We check availability for yours and quote the repair before any work.

Do you work on propane cooktops on farms near Lancaster?

Yes. We repair igniters, burner valves and spark modules on propane cooktops and check whether the orifices match the fuel. We do not work on tanks or supply lines, which belong to your propane provider.

Thor Cooktops: What We Check First

Most Thor cooktops in the Charlotte area are gas rangetops that slide into a countertop cutout, giving the pro-range look without an oven below. They use sealed burners under continuous cast iron grates, front-mounted knobs, and electronic spark ignition with a reignition feature that relights a burner if the flame goes out. Some rangetops include a griddle with its own burner and thermostat.

Wet burner switch making the spark module click constantly
Cracked or greasy electrode failing to spark the burner
Misaligned burner cap producing weak, uneven flame
Griddle thermostat overheating or not holding temperature

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

Coil and glass tops in older kitchens

Built-in coil cooktops in Lancaster's older homes usually fail at three places: the element, the receptacle it plugs into or the infinite switch behind the knob. A receptacle that looks scorched or a coil that only works when wiggled are signs of a loose connection that will get worse. Those parts are ordinary and usually available, so repair is often sensible.

Glass radiant tops fail at the element, its limiter or the switch, and a single cold zone rarely means the whole top needs replacing. Never cook on cracked glass, because spills can reach live parts. If an entire electric top goes dead after a storm, check the breaker first.

Propane cooktops on rural properties

Many homes outside town have no natural gas service, so gas cooktops run on propane. A propane top needs orifices sized for that fuel; tall, yellow or sooty flames suggest it was never fully converted. If you smell gas, leave the house and phone the propane supplier or 911 from outside. We repair igniters, valves and burners, not gas lines, and quote the work before starting.
