My induction cooktop in an Uptown condo shows an error after a storm. Can it be reset?

Sometimes a breaker reset clears it, since power interruptions can confuse the control board. If the error returns, a sensor, fan or board may have failed, and the technician will test them and explain the options before any repair.

Can a cracked glass cooktop in my Uptown apartment be repaired?

The glass itself is replaced rather than patched, and on many models it is available as a separate part. We check whether the elements and controls are healthy too, then tell you whether replacing the glass makes sense for that cooktop.

Glass Tops and Induction in Condo Kitchens

A smoothtop or induction cooktop set into a condo countertop has its electronics packed into a shallow space beneath the glass. An element that stays dark, one that heats only on high, or a touch panel that beeps and shuts down often traces to an infinite switch, a relay on the control board, or a cooling fan on an induction model. Surges from summer storms can also scramble touch controls.

Before calling, switch the cooktop's breaker off for a few minutes and back on, and make sure the glass is dry and clear of pans when you press the controls. Induction surfaces also need cookware that a magnet sticks to. If the glass is cracked, stop using the cooktop entirely.

In the ward townhomes with gas cooktops, a burner that clicks without lighting usually needs its cap seated properly or its igniter tested. If you smell gas, leave and call the gas utility or 911. Our technician tests each part and gives you the price first.

Before You Book: Cooktop Checks

Safe first steps for the most urgent cooktop problems, and when to leave it to a technician.

Gas SmellSafety: Don't try to find the leak yourself: leave the home without switching anything on or off, and call the gas utility or 911 from outside.
Gas Valve FailureSafety: Don't take a gas valve apart or lubricate it yourself; turn the cooktop's gas shutoff off if you can reach it safely and call us.
Burner Won't Turn OffSafety: Turn off the breaker for an electric cooktop, or close the gas shutoff if you can reach it safely, and don't use the cooktop until it's repaired.
Gas Smell Without FlameSafety: Turn the knob off if it's right in front of you, don't try to relight it or flip any switches, and leave the home and call the gas utility if the smell is strong or lingers.

Symptoms, causes and repair-or-replace advice for every type of cooktop are in our complete cooktop repair guide.
