A burned-out coil Most common
Coil elements wear out, and the failure is often visible: a blister, a split, or a spot that glowed brighter than the rest just before it quit.
Colby tests the coil and replaces it with the right one for your stove.

Before you call
Try these first
Turn everything off and let the coils cool before you lift or swap one. A socket that sparks, a burning-plastic smell, or a cracked glass top means stop using that burner and switch off the breaker.
What usually causes it
Why a burner stays cold
A burned socket
The socket, or receptacle, is what the coil plugs into. Its contacts pit and burn from loose or overheated coils, and then even a brand-new coil heats poorly or not at all.
He replaces the socket and checks the wires behind it for heat damage.
The burner switch Wrong heat
The knob turns an infinite switch that cycles the burner on and off to make low and medium heat. When it fails, the burner may stay off, heat only on high, or run full blast on every setting.
He tests the switch at each setting and replaces it if it has stopped cycling.
A radiant element or limiter Glass tops
Under a smooth top, each burner is a flat element with a limiter that keeps the glass from overheating. Either one can fail and leave that burner cold.
He tests both and replaces the one that failed.
The control board Touch controls
Cooktops with touch controls switch the burners through a board. A failed relay leaves one burner dead while the rest work normally.
He reads any error code and checks what the board sends to that burner.
Questions
Burner not heating: questions people ask
QMy burner only heats on high. Why?
AOn high the switch simply stays on; on the lower settings it has to click on and off. A switch that can’t cycle anymore works on high and nothing below, and the same fault can leave a burner stuck on full heat.
QCan I use my glass cooktop if it’s cracked?
ANo. A crack lets spills reach the wiring beneath, and it can spread as the glass heats. Stop using it, switch off the breaker, and have the glass top looked at.
QDo I need the exact same coil?
AYes. Coils come in different sizes and plug styles, and a near match can fit loosely and burn the socket. A photo of the model tag lets Colby bring the right one.
QDo you charge to come out?
AYes. There’s a diagnostic fee for the visit, and if you have Colby do the repair, the diagnostic fee is waived.
QHow soon can you come?
AMost appointments are within 48 hours, many within 24, and often the same day. Call or text and Colby will give you the soonest time he has.
