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.

One zone of our Marvin induction cooktop stopped working. Is the whole cooktop failing?

Not necessarily. Induction zones are often driven by separate boards or coils, so one zone can fail while the rest work. Check that your pan is magnetic and sits flat. If the zone still will not respond, we can test the board and coil behind it.

Can you repair a pro-style gas rangetop in a Waxhaw kitchen?

Yes. Pro-style rangetops are built to be serviced, and igniters, spark modules, valves and switches are replaceable. Some parts for these lines are ordered, and we tell you the timing before the visit ends.

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.

Pro-Style Rangetops and Induction Surfaces

A separate cooktop is common in the larger kitchens around Waxhaw and Marvin. Gas models, including heavy pro-style rangetops with sealed or open burners, mainly fail at ignition: a spark module that clicks endlessly, an electrode cracked by a dropped pot, or a burner that lights only after several tries. Induction cooktops have no flame or hot coil, so their faults are electronic, such as a zone that will not detect a pan, a cooling fan that stops, or a power board that fails.

With everything turned off, remove the grates and caps, clean any boilover from the burner heads, and let them dry before trying again. For induction, make sure the cookware is magnetic and flat. Never touch the gas supply, and if you smell gas, leave the home and call the gas utility or 911.

Our technician tests the igniters, switches and module, or the induction boards and sensors, from the top or from beneath the counter. We explain the cause and give the price before starting. Island cooktops often have downdraft vents or tight cabinet space below, so the technician checks access before removing anything. Repairs carry a 90-day parts and 30-day labor warranty.
