Common Cooktop Problems We Repair
Cooktops can develop a wide range of faults over time. Whether it’s due to wear and tear, electrical issues, or control problems, a faulty cooktop can impact your ability to prepare meals safely and effectively. Some of the most common issues we regularly repair include:
Cooktop Not Heating or Uneven Heat
If one or more burners on your cooktop do not heat up, fail to reach the correct temperature, or heat unevenly, the problem could be due to faulty elements, wiring faults, or component failure. Induction cooktops may show error messages or zones that do not respond, while standard electric cooktops can suffer from worn coil elements or ceramic surface issues.
Broken or Faulty Controls
Buttons, touch controls, or knobs that do not respond or behave unpredictably are a frequent issue. These can be caused by worn control modules or internal wiring faults. Our technicians can test and replace faulty controls to restore operation.
Tripping the Circuit Breaker
If your cooktop regularly trips your electrical circuit, this indicates a serious wiring or electrical fault that must be investigated immediately. Qualified technicians will trace the fault, repair or replace defective components, and ensure your cooktop operates safely and reliably.
Cracked Glass or Ceramic Surface
Glass and ceramic cooktop surfaces are resistant to heat but can crack if heavy cookware is dropped, or if the surface is stressed by rapid temperature changes. Cracks not only affect performance but can also be a safety risk. In many cases, we can replace the damaged top so your cooktop looks and works like new again.
Induction Zone Errors
Induction cooktops often display fault codes when there is an issue with the control board or sensors. These errors can leave specific zones non-functional. Our electricians can interpret the codes, test the electronics, and restore full functionality.

How do I know if my cooktop needs repair or replacement?
If your cooktop has issues such as burners not heating, uneven temperature, unresponsive controls, repeated electrical tripping, or error codes on an induction unit, a repair is often possible. Replacement is usually only recommended when repairs are no longer cost-effective or when parts are unavailable.
Do you repair all types of cooktops?
Yes. We repair electric cooktops, ceramic glass cooktops, and induction cooktops with electrical ignition issues. Our technicians work with most major brands and models used in Australian homes.
Why is my cooktop tripping the circuit breaker?
A cooktop that trips the circuit breaker may have faulty wiring, a damaged element, moisture ingress, or an internal electrical fault. This is a safety concern and should be inspected by a licensed electrician as soon as possible.
Can cracked ceramic or glass cooktops be repaired?
In many cases, cracked or damaged ceramic and glass cooktop surfaces can be replaced rather than the entire appliance. The technician will assess the damage and advise whether a surface replacement is safe and cost-effective.
What causes induction cooktop error codes?
Induction cooktop error codes are usually linked to control board faults, sensor issues, power supply problems, or overheating. A professional diagnosis is required to correctly identify the cause and carry out repairs.
How long does a cooktop repair take?
Most cooktop repairs can be completed within one service visit, depending on the fault and part availability. More complex issues or surface replacements may require additional time or a follow-up visit.
Is it safe to use a cooktop that is not working properly?
No. Continuing to use a faulty cooktop can increase the risk of electrical hazards, damage to internal components, or personal injury. It’s best to stop using the appliance and arrange a professional repair.
Are cooktop repairs covered by a warranty?
Yes. All repairs include a warranty on workmanship and applicable parts. Warranty terms may vary depending on the type of repair, with full details provided at the time of service.
