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.

Do you repair induction cooktops in remodeled south Charlotte kitchens?

Yes. Induction faults usually involve a power board, a coil, a cooling fan or the touch controls, and some parts have to be ordered. We diagnose it, tell you what failed and the price, and let you decide.

Our island gas cooktop clicks nonstop. Is that dangerous?

It is usually a wet or failing spark switch or module rather than a hazard by itself. Unplug the cooktop or switch off its breaker if the clicking will not stop, and let it dry fully after a spill. If it continues, a technician can replace the switch or module.

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 in Larger and Remodeled Kitchens

Kitchen islands with a built-in cooktop are a regular feature of larger Ballantyne homes, and remodels around the Providence Road corridor have added induction and pro-style gas models. A cooktop set into stone is serviced from above and below, so clearing the cabinet underneath before the visit saves time.

On gas cooktops, the frequent complaints are burners that click without lighting, a spark module that keeps clicking after ignition, and uneven flames from clogged ports. Electric and induction units more often lose a single element, a touch control or a cooling fan. Boil-overs in a humid kitchen let moisture reach igniter wiring, which is a common source of the constant clicking.

First, make sure the burner caps sit flat and the ports are dry. If you smell gas, do not touch any switches; leave the home and call the gas utility or 911 from outside. Our technician tests igniters, switches, elements and boards and gives you the price before any repair.
