Why does my Smeg gas burner go out as soon as I let go of the knob?

On models with flame-failure protection, you have to hold the knob in for several seconds so the thermocouple heats up and holds the valve open. If it still goes out after a proper hold, the thermocouple may be dirty, out of position or failed. That is a safety part, so it should be replaced rather than bypassed.

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.

Smeg Cooktops: What We Check First

Smeg makes built-in cooktops in gas, induction and electric ceramic versions, many styled to match its ranges and ovens. The gas units use spark ignition from a shared module, with a small switch behind each knob that triggers the spark. Many Smeg gas hobs also carry flame-failure devices, which use a thermocouple beside each burner to hold the gas valve open only while a flame is present. Induction models rely on a power board, cooling fans and coil sensors under the glass.

Wet or dirty igniter switches causing nonstop clicking
Flame-failure thermocouple letting the burner die on release
Misaligned burner caps producing uneven or failed ignition
Induction power board or cooling fan faults shutting zones off

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

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.
