We check the elements, switches, wiring and controls to find the real source of the problem.
A burner that won't heat, an element stuck on high or controls that stop responding make everyday cooking difficult and unsafe. When your stove or cooktop isn't working the way it should, you need fast and reliable help. At Dr. Appliance Fix, our experienced technicians provide prompt stove and cooktop repair services across Edmonton, Sherwood Park, Acheson, and Spruce Grove.

These are possible causes, not a remote diagnosis. A technician can check the appliance and explain the actual fault.
If one coil element stays cold, try swapping it with another of the same size. If it works in the other spot, the receptacle or wiring is the issue; if it still doesn't heat, the element is likely burnt out. On glass cooktops, a radiant element that won't heat often points to a failed element, an infinite switch, or a control board problem.
Arrange a diagnosis ↗︎An element that glows red no matter where the knob is set, or keeps heating after you turn it off, is a safety concern. It is often caused by a failed infinite switch, which controls how much power the element receives, or by a stuck relay on the control board. Turn the power off at the breaker and don't use that element until it is repaired.
Arrange a diagnosis ↗︎If water takes much longer to boil or pans heat unevenly, the element may be wearing out or not making good contact. Coil elements need to sit flat in their receptacles, and warped cookware can also heat unevenly. A failing infinite switch or a loose connection can keep the element from reaching full power.
Arrange a diagnosis ↗︎A crack in a glass cooktop is more than a cosmetic problem. Spills can reach the elements and wiring underneath, which creates a risk of electric shock. Stop using the cooktop and turn off the power until it has been inspected. In most cases, the glass top is replaced as a complete panel.
Arrange a diagnosis ↗︎If the touch panel ignores your input, check that the control lock isn't on and wipe the surface clean and dry, since moisture and residue can confuse the sensors. Turning off the breaker for a minute can reset some faults. If the controls still don't respond, the touch control board or its wiring may need repair.
Arrange a diagnosis ↗︎Induction cooktops only heat magnetic cookware. If a magnet doesn't stick firmly to the bottom of your pan, it won't work on induction. Pans that are too small or not centred may also go undetected. If proper cookware still shows an error or doesn't heat, a faulty induction coil, sensor, or power board may be the cause.
Arrange a diagnosis ↗︎Sparks around an element, a burning plastic smell or a breaker that trips when you turn on a burner usually point to a damaged element, a burnt receptacle, or a wiring fault. Turn off the stove at the breaker right away and don't use it until it has been checked. If you ever smell gas near a stove, don't touch any switches; leave the home and call your gas utility from outside.
