Austin Guide: How to Troubleshoot Electric Cooktop and Range Problems

Electric cooktops and ranges are essential in homes across Greater Austin, from Round Rock and Cedar Park to Kyle, Buda, Pflugerville, and Leander. But even reliable appliances can develop problems over time. One common issue is a burner not heating, often caused by a failed element, loose connection, or damaged receptacle. Another frequent problem is an unresponsive control panel, which may signal a faulty switch or internal wiring failure. Uneven or inconsistent temperatures typically point to a malfunctioning thermostat or sensor.

Before scheduling service, try simple troubleshooting steps: reset the breaker, inspect the elements for visible damage, and make sure the cooktop surface is clean and dry.
