Cooktop Repair in Rockford, IL

Updated

Short answer

A cracked glass cooktop costs $250 to $600 to replace and induction repairs run $200 to $500 or more (Angi, 2026). Built-in gas cooktops fail the same way gas ranges do: wet or dirty burners and misplaced caps first. Your model number is usually on the underside of the cooktop base, according to Frigidaire and Whirlpool.

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).

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.
