Common Cooktop Malfunctions: Voltage Issues, Blown Fuses, and More

Modern cooktops come in two main types: dependent and independent.
An independent cooktop is equipped with its own control buttons and can operate autonomously without an oven.
A dependent cooktop, on the other hand, functions only when paired with an oven.

Unfortunately, due to frequent voltage fluctuations in many areas, the most common issues are blown fuses, damaged regulators, and control modules.

As a result, your cooktop might experience the following problems:

  • It won’t turn on at all.
  • It turns on, but not all burners work.
  • The dual or triple-zone feature (small, medium, or large circle) doesn’t function.
  • You can’t set the desired operating mode.
  • The cooktop trips the circuit breaker (causes power outages).
  • A burner works only at maximum power.

Regardless of your cooktop type, our experts are always ready to help with repairs of any complexity.

Common causes of cooktop malfunctions:

  1. Incorrect installation or violation of operating standards from the technical documentation.
  2. Mechanical damage to the glass-ceramic surface.
  3. Using cookware with a bottom too small for the burner size.
  4. Moisture getting onto heated elements.
  5. Using cookware with a deformed base.
  6. Neglecting or violating electrical safety standards.
  7. Improper cleaning and failure to follow the manufacturer’s care instructions.

Ways to take care of your cooktop.

 Proper care and maintenance of your cooktop can extend its lifespan and ensure efficient performance. To keep your cooktop in top condition, always clean spills immediately to prevent stains and residue buildup. Use the appropriate cleaning products based on the surface type—glass, ceramic, or gas. Regularly inspect burners and heating elements for any damage or blockages that may affect performance. Avoid using abrasive pads that can scratch the surface. Lastly, ensure proper ventilation to prevent overheating and prolong the life of internal components. By following these simple steps, you can keep your cooktop functioning efficiently for years to come.
