Fix My Stove

Expert Stove & Cooktop Service

From a simple morning coffee to a gourmet dinner, your stove is essential. When a burner fails or a glass top cracks, it stops your kitchen cold. La Jolla A-Tech offers specialized repair services for all surface cooking appliances, including gas cooktops, electric downdraft cooktops, and high-tech induction units. We serve the entire La Jolla community with prompt, professional repairs.


Cooking technology has advanced significantly. Modern cooktops feature touch controls, automatic reignition systems, and bridge elements. Our technicians stay ahead of the curve, trained on the latest models from luxury brands like Wolf, Jenn-Air, and Gaggenau. We carry the specialized tools needed to lift heavy glass tops safely and troubleshoot micro-electronic controls.


We prioritize safety. Malfunctioning gas stoves can be dangerous. We inspect for gas leaks, ensure proper flame height, and check carbon monoxide safety on every job. For electric units, we verify proper grounding and voltage flow to prevent electrical shocks. You can trust us to make your kitchen safe and functional.

Common Stove Problems We Solve

Diagnosis and repair for all cooktop issues

Burner Won't Light (Gas)

Click, click, click, but no fire? We clean clogged burner ports, align electrodes, and replace faulty spark modules to ensure instant flame.

Element Won't Heat (Electric)

If a coil or radiant element stays cold, it might be burnt out or have a broken switch. We test continuity and replace the faulty component.

Induction Not Recognizing Pan

Induction requires magnetic pans, but if it fails with good pans, the generator board or user interface is likely at fault. We fix complex induction electronics.

Cracked Glass Top

Dropped a pot? A cracked ceramic top is unsafe. We replace the entire glass assembly for many brands, restoring the sleek look of your kitchen.

Indicator Light Stays On

If the "Hot Surface" light never turns off, the infinite switch is usually shorted. We replace switches to ensure your safety indicators work correctly.

Gas Smell

If you smell gas, turn it off and call us! We use leak detectors to find loose valves or cracked tubes and reseal the system for 100% safety.

Service for All Cooktop Types

We handle every fuel source and configuration available.


Gas Cooktops

We precisely adjust air shutters for the perfect blue flame on high-BTU professional burners and simmer burners alike.


Electric Radiant & Coil

We repair smooth ceramic glass tops and traditional coil burners, fixing limiting switches and loose receptacle blocks.


Induction Cooktops

The fastest heating technology. We repair the high-voltage generator boards and cooling fans that drive these powerful magnetic coils.


Downdraft Units

Many cooktops (like Jenn-Air) have built-in vents. We repair the fan motors and grease filters to keep your air clean while you cook.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do my gas burners keep clicking after lighting?

This "re-ignition" issue usually means the flame sensor (thermocouple) isn't getting hot enough or is dirty. It can also be due to moisture after cleaning. We can adjust or replace the sensor.

Can you fix a scratch on my glass cooktop?

Minor scratches can sometimes be buffed out with special kits, but deep scratches are permanent. We can replace the glass if the damage is severe or aesthetic perfection is desired.

What pans should I use on glass tops?

Flat-bottomed pans are essential. Avoid cast iron or rough bottoms that scratch. For induction, a magnet must stick to the bottom of the pan.

My electric burner only works on "High". Why?

The infinite switch (the knob control) works by cycling power on an off. If it fails, it can get stuck "closed," sending full power constantly. We replace the switch.

Do you service older coil stoves?

Yes. Often the problem is just a burnt-out receptacle block where the element plugs in. This is a quick and affordable repair.

Is it worth fixing an induction cooktop?

Induction units are expensive ($2000+). Generator board repairs can be $400-$600. It is almost always worth repairing compared to replacement costs.

"Our Jenn-Air downdraft cooktop fan stopped working. A-Tech came out, pulled the unit out (which was heavy!), and replaced the blower motor. Messy job but they kept everything clean. Very impressed."
