--- title: "Cooktops" description: "Frigidaire cooktops: thirty-one cooktops, near enough evenly split: 12 gas, 11 electric radiant and eight induction." url: "https://frigidairemiami.support/appliances/cooktop/" date_modified: "2026-09-08" Appliance type: "cooktop" --- # Frigidaire cooktops ### Three technologies in one product name A gas cooktop is a set of burners, igniters and valves; a radiant cooktop is elements under glass with switches or a touch board; an induction cooktop is a set of coils, an inverter and a substantial cooling system. They fail in different ways and are diagnosed with different instruments, and about a third of Frigidaire’s cooktop line is induction — so on this make it is worth saying which one you have when you book. ### The failures that are not failures More than on any other appliance we attend, cooktop calls end with something other than a broken part: a burner cap seated a few millimeters out, a pan that induction cannot see, a control lock nobody knew was on, a spill that dried into a touch panel. We would rather find that in ten minutes and tell you than sell you a board, and the diagnostic is credited toward the repair if there turns out to be one.

Can it be replaced? Usually yes, and the cost is mostly the glass itself. What matters is what the crack did on its way — a cracked ceramic top can let liquid into the elements and the switchgear below, so the assessment is of the whole appliance rather than the panel. Stop using it in the meantime: a cracked top over a live element is not a risk worth taking. ### The induction hob beeps and shuts off after a minute. Most often it is not seeing the pan — the base must be ferrous and must cover enough of the coil — and that is a cookware answer rather than a repair. Where the pan is right, the causes are the cooling fan, an overheat sensor or the power board, and they are told apart by which zones fail and how quickly. ### A gas burner lights but the flame is yellow and uneven. Usually a blocked port or a burner cap out of position after cleaning, both of which are quick. Where it is neither, we look at the gas pressure and the orifice — and a yellow flame is worth attending to promptly rather than living with, because incomplete combustion is not something to leave in a closed kitchen. --- **[Read full article: Cooktops](https://frigidairemiami.support/appliances/cooktop/)**
