Cooktop Repair in Rockford, IL
Updated
Short answer


Find the model number first
Cooktops hide their rating plate. Frigidaire says a cooktop's model number is typically on the underside of the cooktop base, visible when it is lifted (Frigidaire); Whirlpool lists inside the burner box or underneath on the bottom (Whirlpool). Photograph it before the visit; see the model number guide.
Gas cooktops
GE's guidance applies to cooktops as well as ranges: most clicking-without-lighting is a wet or dirty burner, a misplaced electrode or a cap that does not match its head (GE Appliances). Whirlpool adds that some cooktops have a control lockout that stops ignition (Whirlpool).
Glass and induction
Angi's 2026 figures: glass top replacement $250 to $600, induction repairs $200 to $500 or more, burner replacement $120 to $250, knob or switch $75 to $150 (Angi). Stop using a cracked glass top; liquid can reach the elements and wiring underneath.
LP and gas safety
GE says gas cooktops ship for natural gas with an LP kit for propane, installed by a qualified installer (GE Appliances). If you smell gas, leave and call Nicor Gas at 888-642-6748 and 911 from outside (Nicor Gas).

How much does it cost to replace cooktop glass?
Angi's 2026 guide puts glass top replacement at $250 to $600.
Can I keep using a cracked glass cooktop?
It is not a good idea: spills can reach the elements and wiring under the glass. Have it assessed before using it again.
