What we repair

Thermador Cooktop Problems We Repair

Most cooktop calls come down to a handful of faults. Each can have more than one cause, so a technician confirms the fault before any repair.

Burner will not light or keeps clicking

A wet or dirty igniter, a burner cap out of position, blocked burner ports, a stuck knob or an ignition fault can all stop a gas burner lighting or keep it sparking.

Error codes or flashing lights

A code or flashing light points to the system involved. A technician confirms the actual fault before any part is replaced.

Will not turn on or a zone has no power

Check the breaker first. A dead display or unresponsive controls after a power cut or surge can also be a control board fault.

Uneven or weak heat

A burner or heating zone that runs weak or uneven can have blocked burner ports, a worn igniter or element, a sensor fault or a power fault, depending on the cooktop type.

Knob, switch or touch control faults

A knob that will not turn, a switch that does not respond or touch controls that ignore input can come from worn parts, spilled liquid or a control fault.

One burner or zone not working

If one burner or zone is dead while the others work, the fault is often in that burner's own igniter, switch or element.

If you smell gas, leave first

Do not use the cooktop or any switch. Leave the home and call your gas utility's emergency number or 911 from outside. Do not use flames, a phone or switches inside, and stay out until your gas utility confirms it is safe.

Parts

Parts Commonly Involved in Cooktop Repair

A failed part is often the whole story, but which one depends on the diagnosis. We confirm the fault before recommending a repair.

Before you call

Quick Checks Before You Book

A few simple checks can rule out the easy causes. Do not remove panels or work on gas or wiring yourself.

Control lock off and the right burner or zone selectedBreaker switched fully off, then on (electric cooktops often use two poles)Burner caps seated flat and aligned, cooktop dry and coolError code or flashing light noted before you reset anythingWhether it clicks, glows or lights at start-up

Still not right?

If the cooktop is still not right after these checks, a technician can trace the fault. Call or book online and tell us what the cooktop does.

Repair or replace

Is a Thermador Cooktop Worth Repairing?

Often yes, when the fault is a single part such as an igniter, burner cap, switch or element. A built-in cooktop is cut into the countertop, so replacing it can mean far more than the price of a new cooktop.

The answer depends on how old the cooktop is, what has failed and what the repair costs compared with replacing it. Prices vary with the fault and the part, so we do not publish one figure. Our range and oven repair cost guide explains what drives it.

FAQ

Thermador Cooktop Repair FAQ

Answers to the cooktop questions we are asked most.

Why is my Thermador gas burner clicking but not lighting?
Clicking means the igniter is firing. Common causes are a burner cap that is out of position, a wet or dirty igniter, blocked burner ports or the gas supply being off. Reseat the cap, let the surface dry and check the gas is on. If it still will not light, book a technician. If you smell gas at any point, stop, leave the home and call 911 or your gas utility from outside.
Why is my Thermador cooktop clicking when it is off?
A knob stuck in the lighting position, or moisture after cleaning or a spill, is the usual cause. Turn every knob to OFF and let the surface dry. If it keeps clicking, stop using the cooktop and call us rather than taking it apart.
Why will my Thermador cooktop not turn on?
Start with the circuit breaker, including after a power cut or surge. If the breaker is fine and the controls are dead or unresponsive, the cause may be wiring or the control board, which a technician needs to test.
What does an error code or flashing light on my Thermador cooktop mean?
A code or flashing light points to the system involved, such as a sensor, the controls or the power supply. Write it down before you reset anything, check your owner's manual, and call us if it comes back. A technician confirms the actual fault before any part is replaced.
Why is only one burner or zone not working on my Thermador cooktop?
When the others work, the fault is usually in that burner's own igniter, cap, switch or element rather than the whole cooktop. Check that the burner cap is seated and dry, then book a diagnostic if it still fails.
Why is my Thermador cooktop heating unevenly or weakly?
On a gas cooktop, blocked burner ports or a misaligned cap can distort the flame. On electric or induction, the cause can be an element, a sensor, a power fault or a control fault. Note which burner or zone and what it does, and book a diagnostic if the change is noticeable.
Is it worth repairing a Thermador cooktop?
Often yes when the fault is a single part, because a built-in cooktop is cut into the countertop and replacing it can cost far more than the cooktop itself. Age and the specific fault matter, so a diagnosis comes first. Our range and oven repair cost guide explains what affects the price.
Can I replace a cooktop igniter or element myself?
We do not recommend it. Igniters involve gas connections and elements involve high-voltage wiring. Both are best handled by a trained technician.
Are you authorized by Thermador?
No. Thermador Repair Group is an independent repair service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the manufacturer. If your cooktop is still under the manufacturer warranty, check the warranty terms before booking, because service by an independent company may affect coverage.
Do you repair Thermador ovens and ranges too?
Yes. See our oven repair, range repair and stove repair pages, or call us and describe what is not working.
