Common Gas Cooktop Problems We Fix
Understanding these problems helps you identify when professional repair is needed
🔥 1. Gas Burner Won't Light or Ignite
When your gas burner clicks but won't light, it's typically due to a clogged burner port or faulty ignition system. Food spills and grease can block the tiny holes where gas flows through, preventing proper ignition. In Perth's humid climate, moisture can also corrode ignition components, causing intermittent or complete failure. The continuous clicking sound you hear is the igniter trying unsuccessfully to create a spark strong enough to light the gas.
Other common causes include misaligned burner caps (often after cleaning), worn ignition electrodes, or dirty spark modules. Sometimes the problem is as simple as wet ignition points after cleaning. Our technicians will safely clean all burner components, replace faulty igniters or spark modules, and ensure proper burner cap alignment. For issues involving gas supply or pressure, we'll advise you to contact a licensed gas fitter for safety.
⚡ 2. Ignition System Failures
Electronic ignition systems can fail for various reasons, leaving you unable to light your cooktop. The most common issues include faulty spark modules, damaged ignition switches, or electrical connection problems. When you turn the knob and hear clicking but see no spark, or the clicking continues even after the burner lights, these indicate ignition system problems that we can repair without touching gas lines.
Our technicians specialise in diagnosing and replacing electronic ignition components including spark modules, ignition switches, and wiring harnesses. We also clean and adjust electrode positioning to ensure reliable sparking. These electrical repairs restore your cooktop's functionality safely. However, if we detect any gas smell or suspect gas line issues during our inspection, we'll immediately advise you to contact a licensed gas fitter for your safety.
🟡 3. Yellow Flames or Uneven Burning
Healthy gas flames should burn blue with minimal yellow tips. Yellow or orange flames often indicate dirty burners or clogged air intake ports that we can clean without touching gas lines. Food debris, grease buildup, and Perth's dusty environment can block the small holes in burner caps and rings, disrupting proper combustion. This not only reduces cooking efficiency but can also create uneven heating.
Our technicians specialise in thorough burner cleaning and maintenance. We'll disassemble and deep clean all burner components, clear blocked ports, and ensure proper burner cap alignment. We can also replace damaged burner caps or rings that may be causing flame irregularities. If flame issues persist after cleaning and indicate gas pressure problems, we'll recommend consulting a licensed gas fitter for further investigation.
🔧 4. Thermocouple and Safety Device Issues
A burner that lights initially but goes out when you release the control knob usually indicates a faulty thermocouple or flame failure device. These safety components detect the presence of a flame and are designed to shut off gas flow if no flame is detected. When they malfunction due to wear or carbon buildup, they can't sense the flame properly and shut off the gas supply prematurely.
We specialise in thermocouple replacement and flame failure device repairs. Our technicians can clean carbon deposits from sensors, replace worn thermocouples, and adjust sensor positioning for proper flame detection. These are mechanical and electrical repairs that don't involve gas lines. If the issue appears to be with gas valves or gas pressure, we'll advise you to consult a licensed gas fitter.
🎛️ 5. Control Board and Glass Top Issues
Modern gas cooktops often feature electronic control boards that manage ignition timing, safety features, and sometimes even flame adjustment. When these boards fail, you might experience multiple burners not working, continuous clicking, or complete cooktop failure. Additionally, cracked or damaged glass tops not only look unsightly but can be dangerous, allowing spills to reach electrical components.
We specialise in control board diagnostics and replacement, as well as glass top replacement for all major brands. Our technicians can test control board functionality, replace faulty boards, and install new glass tops to restore your cooktop's appearance and safety. We also clean and service control knobs and their mechanisms without touching gas valves. These repairs focus on the electrical and structural components of your cooktop.
