Is clicking normal on a Thermador cooktop?

On ExtraLow, the burner cycles on and off and clicks to relight, which is normal. Continuous clicking at other settings or with the knobs off usually means a wet or failing switch or igniter.

The touch controls on my glass cooktop in a Northlake-area home stopped responding. What can I do?

Turn off the cooktop's breaker for a few minutes and restore it, since a power flicker can freeze the controls. Wipe the control area dry, because moisture can confuse touch sensors. If it still does not respond, the control board or touch panel needs testing.

One coil burner on my older stovetop in Northwest Charlotte won't heat. Is it the element?

Swap it with a working element of the same size, with the breaker off. If the swapped element works, the original element is bad. If the problem stays in that position, the receptacle or switch is at fault, and both are common, inexpensive repairs.

Thermador Cooktops: What We Check First

Thermador's gas cooktops are built around its patented Star burners, whose five-pointed shape gives a longer flame perimeter and more even heat. Many include ExtraLow, which cycles the flame on and off for very gentle simmering. Thermador also makes induction cooktops, including the Freedom induction model that can detect pans anywhere on the surface, and some electric radiant models. Gas models use a single spark module that sends current to every igniter when any knob is turned to light.

Spark module or igniter failure stopping Star burners from lighting
Wet or failing ignition switches causing continuous clicking
Misaligned Star burner caps producing uneven flames
Induction power board or cooling fan faults on Freedom induction

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

Glass Tops, Touch Controls and Older Coil Surfaces

Newer homes around Northlake and the lake often have smooth glass cooktops, either as part of a range or set into the counter. Common problems include a radiant element that will not heat, a hot-surface light stuck on, and touch controls that stop responding after a power flicker. Older ranch homes in 28216 more often have coil tops, where burned-out elements, scorched receptacles and switches stuck on high are the norm. Gas cooktops are less common here but do appear, and their usual issue is an igniter that clicks constantly after cleaning or a spill.

Safe First Checks and Our Diagnosis

Turn off the breaker before touching any element. On a coil top, try the dead element in a different position to see whether the problem moves with it. On gas, let burner parts dry fully and reseat the caps; if you smell gas, leave and call the gas utility or 911. We test the elements, switches, igniters and controls, explain the cause and give the price before ordering parts.
