Gas Burner - Not Working.
There might be a few things wrong with your gas stove if the flame won't start. Make a note of what occurs when you try to light the burner for the first time. You should hear a clicking noise and smell gas flowing out of the valves in normal circumstances. If you hear a click but don't smell anything, it's most likely a gas flow issue. The problem might be with the ignition switch if you smell gas but don't hear any clicking.

Remove the grate and burner cap after turning the device off and unplugging it if possible. Remove any loose food particles and reconnect any wires that have been disconnected. Call us immediately if it doesn't work, you'll probably need a new igniter or some gas connection work.
Gas Burner - Heating Slowly
No matter what type of cooktop you have, a slow-heating cooktop can be a major problem. If you have a gas cooktop, the problem could be caused by debris clogging the burner openings, resulting in small, weak flames. This is easily remedied by giving your stovetop a thorough cleaning.

Turn off and disconnect your cooktop, then remove the grates and burner caps and soak them in hot water and soap in the sink. Using a stiff brush, scrub the surfaces. Wipe down the cooktop's surface with a damp sponge as well, and clean the gas valves with a toothpick to remove any food or debris. Baking soda and vinegar can also boost the effectiveness of your cleaning routine.
Electric Burner - No Heat
Test all of your electric burners if one of them isn't heating up correctly. If all of your burners aren't heating, it's most likely an electrical issue, and you'll either need to hire a professional or replace your cooktop. Check the connection and make sure the coil is firmly plugged into the cooktop if only one coil is heating incorrectly. Try switching the broken coil with another one on your cooktop; if the new coil works fine in the same spot where the broken coil was plugged in, it's time to get a new one.

Induction Element - Won't Heat
If your induction cooktop isn't heating up, check to see if the pan you're using is induction compatible. Because induction cooktops heat the pan directly rather than the burner below, you'll need special ferromagnetic pans to make it work.

Gas Stove Top Keeps on Clicking
When you turn on your gas stovetop, some clicking is normal, but if it continues long after the burner is lit, or even prevents the burner from lighting, it can become a real inconvenience. This problem normally happens when something is blocking the burner. Check to see if the burner cap has been knocked off or if there is any debris blocking the holes. Food can easily get stuck in the gas grates if you don't have a sealed-burner cooktop, and you'll need to remove it with a paperclip or other thin, metal object (don't use anything easily breakable or flammable, like toothpicks or plastic forks). If the clicking continues, there may be a build-up of moisture in the cooktop. To soak up some of the extra water or grease that may have spilled, try towelling off the stovetop or even pointing a fan at the cooking surface.
