The Short Answer
A burner that will not heat, will not turn down, or heats unevenly usually has a failed element, a worn infinite switch, or a weak igniter on gas models. We test each burner circuit separately, match the fault to the burner you described, and quote the repair first.
Cooktop problems are specific: it is always one burner, and it is always the one you use most. The front-right burner that will not boil, the simmer burner that scorches, the glass top with a white-hot ring that never cycles off. Each symptom maps to a different part, which is why we test burner by burner instead of condemning the whole top.
Across Thompson's Station we see coil elements worn thin in older homes, radiant elements open-circuited under glass tops in newer builds, and gas igniters fouled by years of boil-overs in busy family kitchens from Emberly to Fields of Canterbury.
We repair coil, radiant glass, induction, and gas cooktops from most major brands. Learn more on our brands we service page, and check the manufacturer's own resources at Samsung home appliance support.

What We Usually Find
| Symptom | Likely Cause | What We Do |
|---|---|---|
| Electric burner dead | Element burned open or a failed receptacle | We test the element and socket, both are common wear items |
| Burner stuck on high | Infinite switch contacts welded closed | We replace the switch matched to that burner's rating |
| Gas burner won't light | Clogged burner ports or a failed igniter | We clean ports and test igniter output at the burner |
| Continuous clicking | Wet or failed spark switch after a boil-over or cleaning | We dry and test the switch harness and spark module |
| Uneven heat on glass top | Radiant element partially failed or a warped pan fooling you | We test element output across its full surface |
Likely causes are starting points for testing, not promises. We confirm the failed part with instruments before quoting.
How We Fix It
Our Diagnostic Process
Burner-by-burner test
Every burner gets run and tested, not just the one you named, so a second weak part is not a surprise later.
Switch and element metering
We separate element faults from switch faults electrically before ordering anything.
Quote first
You approve the repair price before we pull the cooktop or order a part.
Full surface check
We run all burners together and confirm level, stable heat before finishing.
Repair or Replace?
Elements, switches, and igniters are inexpensive compared with a new cooktop, so repair is the norm. A cracked glass top is the judgment call: on many models the glass is a large share of the unit's value, and we will price both the glass replacement and a new cooktop honestly so you can choose.
| Problem | Repair Makes Sense When | Replacement Wins When |
|---|---|---|
| Coil or radiant element | Repair at any age | Not applicable |
| Infinite switch or spark module | Repair at any age | Not applicable |
| Gas igniter | Repair, routine wear part | Not applicable |
| Cracked glass top | Repair on newer or premium cooktops | Replacement often wins when glass cost nears a new unit |

Stove & Cooktop Repair in Thompson's Station
Newer kitchens in Avenue Downs and Emberly lean heavily on glass and induction tops, while older homes near Thompson's Station Rd still run coil and gas cooktops daily.

Frequently Asked Questions
The infinite switch that controls that burner has likely failed in the full-on position, or its contacts have welded. It is not the element in most cases. We test the switch output through its range and replace it with the correctly rated part.
Clogged burner ports from boil-overs are the top cause. The cap and head need cleaning and the ports cleared so gas flows evenly. A persistent yellow flame after cleaning means the burner or its air shutter needs a technician's look.
We recommend against it. Cracks spread with heat cycling, and liquid can reach live parts below. The undamaged burners are not automatically safe either, since the glass is one piece. Get the glass priced, and we will tell you if replacement of the top makes sense.
Yes. Induction faults are usually electronic: a failed generator board, a cooling fan issue, or cookware the unit cannot detect. We test with induction-ready pans first, then meter the board, because the fix differs completely from a radiant top.
It usually means a spark switch got wet or failed after cleaning or a spill. Turn the burner off, let everything dry fully, and if clicking continues, the switch or module needs service. Avoid using that burner until it is checked.
Elements, switches, and igniters typically finish in one visit. Glass tops and induction boards sometimes need a model-specific part ordered, and we will give you the timeline before you commit to the repair.
