Cooktop repairs demand technical expertise and safety compliance. Our licensed technicians diagnose gas, electric, smooth-top, and induction cooktops - from igniter failures and burner valve issues to element burnouts and control board malfunctions. We perform gas leak detection on every gas cooktop repair.
We service Wolf, Viking, Thermador, Bosch, GE, KitchenAid, Samsung, LG, and more. $80 diagnostic credited toward repair. 180-day warranty.
Repair: Gas burner won't ignite - igniter and valve replacement from $265.
Repair: One electric element not heating - from $250 replacement.
Replace: Cracked glass on older smooth-top - from $300 approaches new cooktop cost.
Repair: Induction error codes - board/sensor from $250, cheaper than replacing the unit.
We also offer oven repair, range repair, stove repair, and dishwasher repair.
We provide cooktop repair across San Francisco, the Peninsula, and Marin County. Select your city for local details and availability.
Gas ignition problems or electric element failures prevent proper heating.
Hot spots or cold areas indicate faulty burners or heating elements.
Gas odors require immediate attention for safety.
Broken or unresponsive controls affect cooking precision.
Electronic error messages indicate system malfunctions.
Damaged glass surfaces on electric or induction cooktops can be dangerous.
Built-in cooktops are designed to last and are more cost-effective to repair than replace.
We test each burner zone, igniter, element, sensor, and control switch. On induction cooktops we test coil by coil; on gas models we run a full leak and combustion safety check.
We write the estimate on the spot and stock igniters, elements, and switches for common models. Glass-top replacements and premium brand parts ship next business day.
After repair, we heat-test each zone, check temperature regulation, and run through the controls. The repair carries our 180-day warranty.
Diagnostic $80, applied to the repair. Repairs from $250.
Gas, electric and induction cooktops are core repair work for FixitBay LLC across the SF Bay Area, from San Francisco through the Peninsula and Marin. The business holds a California appliance license, BHGS #51001. A service call is an $80 diagnostic that comes off the repair once you proceed, and you see a written estimate before we order anything. Most cooktops are sorted on the first trip; a model-specific part lands in a few business days, quoted ahead of time. A 180-day warranty on parts and labor covers the repair. Same-day or next-day slots open on the calendar.
Most cooktop repairs cost from $250 after the $80 diagnostic. Gas burner and igniter on the lower end; induction boards, glass panel cracks, and pro-cooktop downdraft motors higher.
Yes - pro and premium cooktops are our specialty. Wolf 30/36/48" sealed-burner gas, Viking pro-style, Thermador Masterpiece induction and Star Sapphire gas, Bosch 800 induction. OEM igniters, spark modules, induction coils.
Burner won't ignite (gas), clicking but no flame, induction zone won't heat, error codes, broken glass cooktop surface, indicator light won't turn off, weak flame, or downdraft fan failure.
Yes - all cooktop types. Sealed-burner and open-burner gas, induction (including ferromagnetic-only and All-Metal), electric coil and ceramic glass-top, and downdraft cooktops (Jenn-Air, Bosch).
Yes. Gas igniters and spark modules first visit. Cracked ceramic glass replacement requires OEM part order (3-5 business days) - we provide upfront quote.
Yes - 36 to 48 inch pro gas and induction cooktops are everyday work. We repair Wolf, Viking, Thermador, BlueStar, and Bosch, plus standard glass-top and coil cooktops.
Same-day when the schedule allows, next-day otherwise - the booking calendar shows the earliest window. No dinner without a working cooktop - we prioritize these repairs. 7 days a week.
Pro cooktops almost always yes - Wolf/Viking/Thermador replacement runs from $3,000+. Standard cooktops under 10 years usually worth repairing. We provide honest assessment after diagnostic.
Common causes: dirty igniter (clean and test first), failed igniter, faulty spark module, blocked burner port, or low gas pressure. Often diagnosed and fixed on first visit.
Yes - every cooktop repair comes with a 180-day warranty on parts and labor. If the same issue returns within 180 days, we come back at no extra charge.
It depends on the part and the failure. For sealed-system components (refrigerator compressors, freezer evaporators), gas-safety parts (igniters, gas valves), and electronic control boards, we use OEM - the engineering tolerances matter for safety and longevity. For wear parts where aftermarket equivalents perform identically - drain pumps, fan motors, gaskets, dryer belts, hoses - we offer both at the diagnostic stage with transparent pricing. You choose based on budget, warranty preference, and how long you plan to keep the appliance.
Yes, gas leaks and ignition failures are serious safety hazards. Turn off the gas supply immediately, open windows for ventilation, and call us for the first available appointment. DO NOT use the cooktop or attempt DIY repairs. Our licensed technicians use professional gas leak detectors to locate leaks, then repair gas valves, igniters, or burner heads safely and to code.
We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover), Apple Pay, Venmo, Zelle, online payment via secure invoice link, personal checks, and cash. Payment is collected after the repair is complete and you've approved the work. We don't require a deposit beyond the $80 diagnostic visit fee, which is fully credited toward your repair if you proceed. No processing fees, no hidden charges - the price you approve is the price you pay.
