Tap a fault to see what it usually means and what it normally takes to put right. Labour on this page runs $92 to $232, and the service call is free when you go ahead with the repair.
The rest of the cooktop works, so it is not the supply. On a coil top it is usually the element itself or the receptacle block it plugs into, which burns at the contacts. On a ceramic or glass top it is the radiant element underneath,.
Typical fix: Replace the surface element ($92 to $185 on a coil top, $166 to $232 on glass) or the receptacle block at $92 to $185.
No simmer — the ring cycles between nothing and maximum. That is the infinite switch behind the knob, the part that pulses power to hold a setting. When its contacts pit or weld, it loses every step in between. The same fault is why a burner sometimes will not switch off at all.
Typical fix: Replace the infinite switch. Expect $92 to $185 in labour.
A chip at the edge, a hairline across the surface, or a spiderweb from a dropped pot. A crack is not cosmetic on a ceramic top: spills reach the elements and the wiring underneath, and the surface can fail further under heat. Stop using the affected zone until it is looked at.
Typical fix: Replace the glass cooktop surface. The part governs the cost here, so we quote it after we have the model number.
A coil element plugs into a receptacle block, and that plug carries the whole load of the ring through two small contacts. They arc, pit and eventually char, which shows up as a burner that works intermittently, a browned plug when you lift the element out, or a smell of hot plastic. Further back, the terminal block where the range’s supply cable lands does the same thing, and that one takes the whole appliance out.
Typical fix: Replace the receptacle block at $92 to $185. A burnt terminal block at the supply end is $166 to $232, and the cable end is inspected at the same time since the damage is usually on both halves.
On a knob model the shaft behind it has seized or the valve stem has stiffened with grease. On a touch-control cooktop the panel stops responding, often with a code, and that points at the membrane or the control board behind it — sometimes after a spill has run under the glass.
Typical fix: Free or replace the switch and knob at $92 to $185. A failed control board runs $185 to $232.
A hum that rises with the power setting is normal physics on induction — a rattle is not, and neither is the hob cutting out mid-cook. That is almost always the cooling fan clogging or failing, which lets the power board overheat and trip out to protect itself.
Typical fix: Replace the cooling fan motor at $166 to $232 before the board goes with it.
Most ranges share one control board between the cooktop and the oven below, so a code on the display is often a cooktop symptom carrying an oven-side label. The second trap is assuming a code means the same thing on every badge: F9 is a door lock fault on some platforms but LG publishes it as an upper oven that is not heating, and F1 is a shorted key pad on a Frigidaire. The brand and model number come first.
| Code | Brand | What the maker says it means | Checked first |
|---|---|---|---|
| F6 E1 | Whirlpool | A problem with the Appliance Manager, or the associated wiring | Whirlpool asks for a one minute breaker reset before anything else |
| F1 | Frigidaire | Shorted key pad | Frigidaire asks for a 30 second power disconnect first |
| E11 | Bosch | Touch keys not operating, often condensation on the keypad | Clean and dry the control panel, then reset power |
| u underlined | Samsung | Pan detection error on an induction surface | Cookware size, material or placement, not a fault |
| -dE- / -dC- | Samsung | The Flex Duo partition is not installed correctly | Seat the partition fully in its slot |
| F9 | LG | Upper oven is not heating properly | Element and sensor circuit on the upper cavity |
| F19 | LG | Oven heating error | Heating circuit, checked after a breaker reset |
| F11 | LG | Communication error | The link between the control boards |
| F10 / F20 | LG | Door lock failure, upper or lower oven | Lock motor and its switches |
Every meaning above is the manufacturer’s own published wording, from Whirlpool Product Help, Frigidaire and Bosch owner support, LG’s range code list and Samsung Canada. GE does not publish a public code list, so a GE code is read against service documentation on site rather than guessed from a chart. Tell us the code, the brand and the model number off the plate and we narrow it before the visit.

Note: Labor pricing for stove and oven repairs may vary depending on appliance type, installation style, and the complexity of internal component access. Prices are current as of May 20, 2026.
Two things decide it: which part failed, and how old the range is. The $92 to $185 band — coil elements, infinite switches, receptacle blocks, indicator switches — is worth doing on almost any cooktop that is otherwise sound. The $166 to $232 band is where it gets real, and a cracked ceramic top is the clearest case of all: the glass is one of the most expensive parts on the appliance, and on an older range it can approach the price of replacing the whole thing. We go through the same arithmetic for the oven side in repair or replace your oven.
