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.

Plastic melted onto the glass cooktop in our University City apartment. Is it ruined?

Not necessarily. Turn the burner off, let it cool partway, and carefully scrape the plastic off with a razor scraper held at a low angle. If the glass is cracked or pitted underneath, stop using it and report it to your landlord.

Do you repair gas cooktops in Highland Creek homes?

Yes. Gas cooktop repairs usually involve spark igniters, switches, the spark module or clogged burner ports. The technician tests each and gives you the price before replacing anything.

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 Cooktops in Apartments and Subdivision Kitchens

Most apartment kitchens around University City have smooth glass cooktops on electric ranges. They look simple but are easy to damage: cast iron dragged across the glass, sugar spills that bond to a hot surface, and plastic melted onto a burner left on. A light scratch is cosmetic, but a crack or a chip at the edge means the cooktop should not be used until it is repaired.

Elements that will not heat, stay on full, or cycle oddly usually trace to a failed element, an infinite switch or a relay on the control board. Homes in the northern subdivisions may have gas cooktops instead, where the usual complaints are clicking igniters and burners that will not light.

Let the surface cool and clean it with a razor scraper and cooktop cream. Turn off the breaker if an element will not shut off. If you smell gas, leave and call the gas utility or 911. We test, explain the fault and quote first.
