One coil on my Admiral cooktop won't heat. How do I know what's wrong?

With the breaker off, swap the coil into a working position. If it still doesn't heat, the element is bad. If it works, the receptacle or switch is the problem.

Our Mint Hill induction cooktop went dead after a storm. What should we check?

Turn off its breaker for a minute, then restore it. If the controls still do not respond, the power board or an internal fuse may have failed. A technician can test it and price the repair.

Can you fix an old coil cooktop in a Matthews kitchen, or is it too old?

Coil cooktops are usually simple to repair. Coils, receptacles and switches are common parts. If the top is badly corroded or parts are unavailable, we will suggest replacement.

Admiral Cooktops: What We Check First

Admiral built-in cooktops are uncommon, and most cooktop calls for the brand involve the surface of an Admiral range. Electric models usually have plug-in coil elements that sit in receptacles under drip pans, controlled by infinite switches behind each knob. Some later models have smooth glass tops with radiant elements. Gas models use open or sealed burners lit by spark igniters or, on very old units, standing pilots.

Burned coil receptacle causing an element to flicker or fail
Infinite switch wear leaving an element stuck on high
Gas igniters clicking without lighting after spills
Cracked glass or failed radiant element on smooth-top models

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

Mixed Kitchens, Mixed Cooktops

Homes from earlier decades often started with an electric coil cooktop, and many have since moved to smooth glass or induction. Others switched to gas where a line was available. Each type fails differently: coils and their receptacles burn, glass tops develop dead elements or failing infinite switches, gas burners click or will not light, and induction units lose power boards or cooling fans.

Storm-related surges hit electronic touch controls harder than older knob-type controls, so a glass or induction top that is dead after a thunderstorm deserves a breaker reset before anything else is assumed. Older knob controls rarely suffer that way, though their switches still wear with daily use.

Safe Checks and the Visit

Switch off the breaker before any cleaning or inspection of an electric cooktop. Do not use a cracked glass surface. On gas units, make sure caps sit flat and burner bases are dry, but never adjust valves or connections. A gas smell means leaving the house and calling the gas utility or 911. We test the parts and explain the price before work.
