Cooktop Repair

Wolf gas, induction and electric cooktops — sealed burner assemblies, induction coils and inverters, touch controls and the wiring behind the glass.

What people describe on the phone

  • An induction element runs for a few minutes, shuts itself down and shows a fault code
  • One sealed gas burner burns yellow and leaves soot on the underside of the pan
  • The touch controls answer intermittently, or a whole row of them stops responding
  • A burner will not hold a low simmer — turn it down and the flame goes out

How the visit goes

The appliance is opened, the rating plate read, and the circuit or component in question tested against the service documentation for that model and serial. You get told what is actually wrong and what the part costs before anything is ordered. If the honest answer is that the repair is not worth it, you get that answer too. What the visit and the work come to is set out in full below.

What it costs once we know what it is

Flat $89 service call covering the visit and full diagnosis, credited against the repair once you approve it.

  1. Igniter or spark module $170–$450
  2. Burner valve or orifice service $230–$580
  3. Oven thermostat or sensor calibration $190–$420
  4. Convection fan or motor $260–$650
  5. Control board or touch panel $470–$830
  6. Door hinge, glass or seal $300–$660

Each line is a range because which part turns out to be at fault decides where inside it a job lands, and that is settled by the diagnosis rather than over the phone. Once it is settled you are given one figure covering parts and labour, you agree to it before any work starts, and the $89 you have already paid for the visit comes off it. Nothing is ordered until you have said yes, and the number does not move afterwards.

Set against that, a comparable professional range, before installation and ventilation work, costs $8,220–$16,970. On this island the appliance is usually set into millwork built around it, so replacing one is rarely only the cost of the appliance.

  • Electric cooktop losing one element at random. Two other people had told me to replace the unit. He found a burnt connector at the terminal block and rebuilt it properly instead.

  • Induction hob cut out under load and showed a fault. He identified the inverter quickly and it has been fine ever since. The part took a week to arrive, which is hardly his doing.

  • Induction element shut down with a fault code every few minutes and I assumed the whole cooktop was finished. It was a cooling fan behind the inverter. Careful with the stone surround throughout.
