Why does my induction cooktop say it doesn't detect my pan?

Induction requires magnetic cookware; if your pan is compatible and it's still not detected, the coil or sensor board likely needs testing. We diagnose this on-site with known-good test cookware.

Do you repair touch-control glass cooktops?

Yes, including capacitive touch models where the controls themselves have failed rather than the heating elements.

Cooktop Repair

Gas, radiant, and induction cooktop repair

Induction and glass cooktops pack sensitive electronics under a ceramic surface, which means diagnosing them correctly requires the right test equipment rather than trial and error. Our technicians are trained on induction coil systems, touch-capacitive controls, and traditional gas and radiant cooktops.

We service built-in cooktops from every major manufacturer, including premium induction and gas models from Bosch, Miele, and Thermador.

Cracked or damaged glass surface
Uneven heating across the burner
Touch controls unresponsive or ghost-touching
Error codes displayed on induction models
Burner stays on high regardless of setting

Common issues we diagnose & repair

Induction coil and power board faults

When an induction zone won't detect compatible cookware or trips an error code, the issue is typically the induction coil, IGBT power module, or control board — components we test directly rather than replacing on suspicion.

Touch control membrane failure

Moisture intrusion or a failing capacitive touch membrane causes unresponsive controls or phantom inputs. We replace the touch control assembly as a unit for reliable results.

Radiant element and glass surface issues

A cracked cooktop surface compromises the seal around elements and is a safety concern; we assess whether the glass or just the element underneath needs replacement.

Gas valve and igniter faults

On gas cooktops, ignition problems usually trace back to the igniter, spark module, or a partially blocked burner port.

Frequently asked questions

We generally recommend against it. A cracked surface can allow moisture into the electronics beneath and creates a safety hazard. We can assess whether the glass top is replaceable or if the full cooktop needs replacement.
