Do you repair Wolf, Viking, and Thermador cooktops in Lakewood?

Yes. We repair gas, induction, and electric cooktops and rangetops from Wolf, Viking, and Thermador in homes throughout Lakewood, including the 90712, 90713, and 90715 ZIP codes.

Do you also work on Sub-Zero appliances?

Yes. Sub-Zero refrigeration is the core of our work. Many of the kitchens we visit have a Sub-Zero refrigerator alongside a Wolf, Viking, or Thermador cooktop, so we can look at both on the same visit if needed.

Why won't my gas cooktop stop clicking?

The most common cause is moisture around the igniter or burner switch after a spill or cleaning. If the clicking continues after everything is fully dry, the cause is usually a faulty switch or spark module, which we can test and replace.

Can you fix an induction cooktop that shows an error code?

Often, yes. Error codes point us toward a fan, sensor, or board problem. We test the components to confirm the cause before we recommend replacing any part.

Are you affiliated with any appliance brand?

No. We're an independent repair company and are not affiliated with or endorsed by Sub-Zero, Viking, Wolf, or Thermador.

What should I do if I smell gas near my cooktop?

Don't light anything or operate switches. Leave the home and contact your gas utility or 911 from outside. Once the home has been made safe, we can repair the cooktop.

Cooktop problems we see in Lakewood kitchens

Most cooktop calls come down to a handful of symptoms. Each one can have more than one cause, which is why we test the parts instead of guessing.

Igniters that click continuously, often after a spill or a wet cleaning, or because a spark module or burner switch has failed
A burner that clicks but won't light, usually from a clogged port, a misaligned cap, or a weak igniter
Yellow, lazy, or uneven flames that point to blocked ports, cap problems, or a gas supply issue
Low simmer settings that won't hold, or burners that go out on the lowest setting
Induction zones that won't detect the pan, shut off mid-cook, or show error codes
Electric radiant elements that won't heat, stay on high, or heat unevenly
Cracked glass or ceramic surfaces, and knobs or touch controls that stop responding

Gas, induction, and electric: how the diagnosis differs

On gas cooktops and rangetops, we start with the ignition system and the burner assembly. Premium burners are built with tight tolerances. A sealed dual-stacked burner on a Wolf, a Viking burner, and a Thermador Star burner each need their caps and bases seated correctly to light and flame evenly. We check the igniters, spark module, switches, and gas valves, and we confirm that the flame looks the way it should at both high and low settings.

Induction cooktops are mostly electronics. When a zone fails, the cause may be a cooling fan, a temperature sensor, a power board, or a control board. We read the error codes and test the components. That way we replace only what has actually failed.

Electric radiant cooktops usually come down to the heating element, the control switch for that element, or the wiring between them. A cracked glass top is a separate problem. The surface should be replaced before the cooktop is used again.

Safety first: when to stop using the cooktop

If you smell gas, don't try to light a burner or flip switches. Leave the house and call your gas utility or 911 from outside. Once the utility has checked the home and made it safe, we can diagnose and repair the cooktop itself.

Stop using an electric or induction cooktop that has a cracked surface, sparks, smells like burning plastic, or trips the breaker. Turn it off at the breaker and leave it off until it has been inspected.

What to expect on a repair visit

When you book, tell us the brand, the model number if you can find it, and what the cooktop is doing. On many units, the model tag sits under the cooktop or on the underside of the burner box. That detail helps us bring the right parts for common failures on Viking, Wolf, and Thermador models.

At your Lakewood home, we confirm the symptom, test the likely causes, and explain what we found in plain terms. You decide whether to go ahead before we start any repair. If a part has to be ordered, we tell you so and schedule the return visit. We also serve nearby Signal Hill, Paramount, Long Beach, Compton, and Gardena.

Quick checks before you call

A few simple checks can solve a minor problem or help us diagnose a bigger one faster.

For constant clicking, let the burner area dry completely, and make sure no water or cleaner sits around the igniter
Lift each burner cap, then reseat it flat and centered on its base
Check the breaker and confirm the cooktop has power, even if it's a gas model with electric ignition
On induction, test the zone with a pan you know is induction-compatible
Write down any error code exactly as it appears
