Range & Cooktop Repair in Roseville & Sacramento
Gas, electric, induction, and glass smooth-top — we repair all cooktop and range types from every major brand.
Range & Cooktop Repairs — All Types, All Brands
Cooktops come in four distinct types, each with its own failure modes. Gas cooktops — whether open burner or sealed burner — fail most often at the igniter switch, the igniter module, or the burner valve. Electric coil cooktops fail at the coil element itself or the infinite burner switch. Glass smooth-top electric cooktops share the switch failures of coil models but add cracked glass as a common complaint. Induction cooktops fail at the power control board, induction coil assembly, or thermal fuse.
A range combines an oven and a cooktop in a single unit — one technician handles both. That matters when a range has both a dead oven bake element and a misfiring surface burner: one service call covers everything. At Appliance Repair Expert, we carry parts for gas igniters, burner switches, heating elements, and control boards on the van.

We serve Roseville, Rocklin, Sacramento, Lincoln, Citrus Heights, and Folsom. Call (916) 277-0077 for same-day or next-morning service.
Common Problems We Fix
Gas Burner Won't Light
Failed igniter switch, moisture in the igniter module, or a clogged burner orifice prevents the burner from igniting even with a working flame.
Electric Burner Won't Heat
A burned-out coil element or failed infinite burner switch stops the element from drawing power — swap test isolates which component is faulty.
Smooth-Top Glass Cracked
A cracked ceramic glass cooktop surface requires full glass panel replacement — the glass cannot be patched or spot-repaired.
Igniter Clicks Constantly
Moisture or food debris in the igniter module causes continuous sparking even when all burners are off — usually cleared same day.
Burner Only Works on High
A failing infinite burner switch loses the ability to regulate power to intermediate heat levels while still allowing maximum output.
Induction Not Detecting Cookware
A failed induction coil board or power control module prevents the surface from recognizing compatible cookware and activating the heat zone.
How Much Does Range & Cooktop Repair Cost?
Most range and cooktop repairs in Roseville and Sacramento range from $100 to $450. Gas igniter switch replacement typically runs $120–$200. Electric burner switch replacement is $100–$180. Glass smooth-top cooktop glass replacement — the priciest common repair — costs $200–$400+ depending on the size and model.
Induction cooktop repairs vary more widely depending on which component failed — a thermal fuse is $80–$150, while an induction power control board can run $200–$380. Our techs give a flat-rate quote after diagnosis; pricing includes the service call, parts, and labor with a 3-month warranty.
Cost comparison: A replacement range or cooktop costs $600–$2,500+ installed. At $100–$450 for most repairs, fixing your current unit is almost always the smarter financial decision — especially on higher-end brands like Bosch or KitchenAid.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you repair a cracked glass cooktop or does it need full replacement?
A cracked glass smooth-top cooktop requires full glass replacement — the cooktop surface is a single tempered ceramic glass panel and cannot be patched. We source replacement glass specific to your model. The cost runs $200–$400+ depending on the brand and glass size. If the crack is severe or the unit is older, we'll give you an honest comparison between repair and replacement cost.
Why does my gas burner keep clicking even when it's off?
Constant clicking when a burner is off is almost always moisture inside the igniter module. Food spills or steam work their way into the igniter, causing it to ground and fire continuously. Remove the burner cap and grate, dry the area with a towel, and let it air out. If clicking persists after drying, the igniter switch or igniter module itself has failed and needs replacement.
One burner on my electric range doesn't heat — is it the burner or the switch?
Either component can be the cause. Start with the burner itself: swap it with a working burner of the same size and see if the problem follows. If the swapped burner heats correctly in the bad receptacle, the infinite switch controlling that burner is faulty. If the problem stays with the original burner, the element itself is dead. This swap test is the fastest diagnostic and avoids replacing parts unnecessarily.
Do you repair induction cooktops?
Yes. Induction cooktops fail differently from gas and electric — common issues include a cracked glass surface, a failed induction coil board, a blown thermal fuse, or a power control module failure. We work on induction cooktops from Bosch, Samsung, LG, GE, KitchenAid, and other major brands. Induction repairs are generally more involved than coil or gas burner repairs, so parts availability for your specific model will affect the timeline.
My gas range igniter sparks constantly — is this dangerous?
Constant sparking is annoying but not immediately dangerous as long as the gas valve is closed and there's no gas smell. The risk is that repeated sparking can wear out the igniter module faster and — in rare cases — cause unintended ignition if residue is present. Get it repaired promptly. The fix is usually a moisture issue (dried with compressed air) or a failed igniter switch, both of which are straightforward same-day repairs.
