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.

One coil burner on my West Charlotte rental's stovetop only works on high. Can that be fixed?

Yes. That symptom almost always points to a failed infinite switch, the control behind the knob that cycles the element. It is an inexpensive part on most common ranges. The owner or manager should book the visit, and we confirm it before replacing anything.

My smooth glass cooktop has a crack. Is it still safe to use?

Stop using it and turn off the breaker, because a cracked top can expose live parts to spills. The glass can often be replaced on its own, but on an older range that may cost a large share of a new one, so we will help you compare.

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.

Burners That Quit or Won't Turn Down

Coil-top cooking surfaces remain common in older west-side homes and rental units. When a coil stays cold, the element, its receptacle or the infinite switch behind the knob is at fault, and a burner that only works on high almost always has a failed switch. Smooth glass tops in renovated Wilmore and Ashley Park kitchens can develop a dead radiant element or a hot-surface light that never goes off. Gas tops show different symptoms: a burner that clicks and never lights, or a flame that is yellow and uneven because spilled food has blocked the burner ports.

A Safe First Check and the Repair

Turn off the breaker before pulling a coil element, then swap it with a working one to see whether the problem follows the element. On gas, clean and dry the burner cap and base and reseat them, but do not touch the supply line. Leave and call the gas utility or 911 if you smell gas. We test the element, switch, receptacle or igniter and price the repair before ordering.
