My propane cooktop has yellow flames. What does that mean?

Yellow, sooty flames usually mean incomplete combustion from the wrong orifice, poor air adjustment or a dirty burner. Stop using it and have it checked.

Can you fix an induction cooktop that quit after a storm?

Often. The technician checks the board, power supply and cooling fan for surge damage and gives you a repair price before any work.

Cooktops on Propane, Gas and Electric

Some rural kitchens run gas cooktops on propane, which needs the correct orifices. Yellow, lazy flames or sooty pans may mean a conversion issue. Igniters that click without lighting usually have misaligned or wet burner caps. Radiant glass and induction cooktops are standard in newer homes near I-4, where control boards, touch panels and cooling fans are the usual failures.

Lightning surges can damage induction electronics. If the cooktop shows an error after a storm, switch the breaker off for a few minutes first, since some controls recover.

Owner Checks

On gas or propane, make sure the burner caps are seated and dry. On induction, test with a pan a magnet sticks to, and note any error code. Do not use a cracked glass top. If you smell gas or propane, leave and call your supplier from outside. The technician tests the spark module, valves, elements and controls from below the counter, then gives the price.

Before You Book: Cooktop Checks

Safe first steps for the most urgent cooktop problems, and when to leave it to a technician.

Gas SmellSafety: Do not look for the source. Get out of the house without operating any switch or appliance, and phone the gas utility or 911 after you are outside.
Gas Valve FailureSafety: Never open up or oil a gas valve yourself. If the cooktop's shutoff valve is safe to get to, close it, then call us.
Burner Won't Turn OffSafety: Cut power at the breaker on an electric cooktop, or close the gas shutoff valve on a gas model if it is safe to get to; keep the cooktop out of use until it is repaired.
Gas Smell Without FlameSafety: Turn the knob off only if it is within easy reach, and do not relight anything or operate switches. A strong or persistent odor means getting out of the house and phoning the gas utility or 911 once you are outside.
