GE Cooktop Repair

Many people began to give up gas cooktops, opting for electric cooktops. But modern electric stoves have one small disadvantage - a shorter service life due to the relative complexity and fragility of the internal system. Our Chula Vista Appliance Service Center technicians repair cooktops, glass ceramic cooktops, gas cooktops, induction cooktops at home or in the service center shop. We do quality GE Cooktop Repair in San Diego County.

Design features and types of electric cooktops

• Temperature sensor pairs.
• Power wiring.
• Glass ceramic (when it comes to modern electric stoves).
• The control panel by which all the processes and programs of the electric cooktop are regulated.
• Insulating materials.
• The power cables.

Types of breakdowns and their signs

Here are the most common types of breakdowns with brief descriptions, so that you can independently determine the type of failure.

One or more burners do not heat

If one or more burners are not working, the problem may be the following:

• Wiring or contacts.
• Control unit (firmware has gone out or software failure has occurred). Call a GE Cooktop Repair and Service technician.
• Regulator of burner power.
• The problem may also be in the burner itself.

You can check the wiring and contact yourself if you have the proper knowledge and gauges. Problems with the control box, power regulator, or the burner itself can only be corrected by a GE Cooktop Repairs technician.

Electric cooktop won't turn on

If the cooktop won't turn on at all, it's worth checking:

• The socket, plug and power cord. Sometimes the outlet or plug is the problem.
• Terminals. Sometimes the terminals can melt due to voltage fluctuations.
• Thermal fuse. GE Cooktop Repair and Service will repair professionally.
• Control unit (software failure, control board failure).
• Touch control board does not work (relevant for plates that have this board).

If the stove has stopped turning on, the only thing you can do yourself is to check the integrity of the cable, plug and socket. Other breakdowns require the intervention of a qualified GE Cooktop Repair technician.

Touch control does not respond

The cause is either the touch card or the control unit. If the touch card is not working, it most likely needs to be replaced. And the control unit should be checked for software errors, broken tracks, or burned-out radio components. GE Cooktop Repair and Service will diagnose and fix the problem at the owner's location.

Burner heats up without stopping

The cause is in the distribution box. Both software failures and physical damage are possible. But often, the problem is caused by a sticky burner relay that is in the box. GE Cooktop Repair will perform a replacement control box.

If you notice an abnormality in the operation of your electric cooktop, or the unit has completely stopped turning on, we recommend calling a Chula Vista Appliance Service Center technician immediately or take the cooktop to a service center. Often, electric cooktop repairs are limited to replacing a part, so do-it-yourself repairs are undesirable. Our GE Cooktop Repair and Service technicians can determine the source of the problem and how to fix it.
