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.

My induction cooktop in a renovated Plaza Midwood bungalow shuts off during cooking. Why?

Induction cooktops shut down when they overheat, often because a cooling fan has failed or the vent is blocked. Supply problems can also cause shutdowns. We test the fan, sensors and power supply.

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.

New Cooktops on Older Circuits

Induction and electric smoothtop cooktops draw a lot of current and depend on clean, steady power. In a renovated older home, a cooktop added during a remodel may share a panel with circuits that were never upgraded. When storms cause flickers, the control board or touch panel can freeze or show errors. Cooling fans on induction models can also fail, triggering shutdowns.

Gas cooktops in older bungalows have their own issues: burner caps out of place, clogged ports and igniters that click constantly after a spill. Small kitchens mean the cooktop is used hard, and a burner that lights unevenly is worth fixing before it gets worse.

Reset the breaker for electric models and dry the burners on gas ones. A gas smell in the kitchen calls for leaving the house and contacting the gas utility or 911. The technician tests elements, coils, switches, igniters and controls, and tells you if a supply problem needs an electrician.
