Why does my Whirlpool coil burner only work when I press it down?

That is a classic sign of a burned or loose receptacle, where the element's terminals no longer make solid contact. Continuing to use it can damage the element and the wiring. Replacing the receptacle and often the element solves it.

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.

Whirlpool Cooktops: What We Check First

Whirlpool built-in cooktops come in gas, radiant glass and coil electric, with some induction options. Gas cooktops use sealed burners with spark electrodes powered by a spark module and controlled by switches on each valve. Radiant cooktops use ribbon elements under the glass, controlled by infinite switches or touch controls. Coil cooktops, still common in rentals and older homes, use plug-in elements that sit in receptacles under each drip pan.

Spark switch wet or dirty, igniters clicking without stopping
Coil element receptacle burned and pitted, intermittent heating
Infinite switch failed on radiant model, zone stuck high or cold
Spark module weak, burners lighting slowly or not at all

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