The short answer
Wolf Repair Experts repairs Wolf, Viking, and Thermador gas, induction, and electric cooktops in West Hollywood homes. Common fixes include worn igniters, clogged burner ports, faulty spark modules, failed control boards, and induction errors. Our technicians come from our Woodland Hills base, about 14 miles away, and diagnose the problem in your kitchen.
A cooktop that won't light, clicks nonstop, or shows an error code can stop a West Hollywood kitchen in its tracks. Wolf Repair Experts repairs high-end gas, induction, and electric cooktops in homes across West Hollywood, from single-family houses to condos and apartment units. We work mainly on Wolf cooktops, and we also service Viking and Thermador models. Many of the kitchens we visit pair one of these cooktops with Sub-Zero refrigeration, and we can look at that while we're there. We are an independent repair company, not affiliated with any of these brands. We find the actual cause of the problem and explain your options before any work begins.
Cooktop Problems We Fix in West Hollywood Kitchens
Most cooktop calls come down to a few patterns. The symptom usually points toward the cause, so it helps to note exactly what you see and hear before we arrive.
- Burner clicks but won't light, or lights only after several tries
- Igniters keep clicking after the flame is lit
- Weak, uneven, yellow, or lifting flames
- Simmer setting too hot or flame goes out on low
- Induction zone won't detect the pan or shows an error code
- Electric element won't heat or stays on high
- Touch controls unresponsive, or knobs loose or stuck
- Cracked or chipped glass-ceramic surface
Gas Cooktop Repair: Ignition, Burners, and Flame
Wolf gas cooktops use sealed dual-stacked burners that cover a wide range from high heat to a low simmer. When the low setting stops holding a flame, the cause is often a dirty or misaligned burner cap, a blocked port, or a valve that needs adjustment. Constant clicking usually comes from moisture or grease reaching the igniter or the switch behind the knob, or from a spark module that is failing.
Viking and Thermador gas cooktops have their own burner designs, including Thermador's star-shaped burners, but the same basic checks apply. We test the igniters, spark module, valves, and gas supply in order rather than guessing, so you pay for the part that actually failed. If the flame color or height points to a gas pressure or conversion issue, we tell you what we found and what it means for safe use.
Induction and Electric Cooktop Repair
Induction cooktops from Wolf, Thermador, and Viking depend on electronics: power boards, induction coils, cooling fans, and touch controls. Many West Hollywood kitchens are compact, and a cooktop installed with too little airflow underneath can overheat and throw errors. We check the cookware, the cooling fan and venting, and the error history, then test the boards and coils to find which part has failed.
On radiant electric cooktops, we test the elements, limiters, infinite switches, and wiring. If the glass top is cracked, we'll explain whether replacing it makes sense for your model and how it compares with other options.

What to Expect When We Come to West Hollywood
We're based in Woodland Hills, about 14 miles from West Hollywood, and we serve homes throughout Los Angeles County, including Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Calabasas, San Fernando, and the City of Los Angeles. When you book, tell us the brand, the model number if you can find it, and what the cooktop is doing. The model number is usually on a label under the cooktop or on the burner box.
If you live in a condo or apartment building, let us know about parking, loading access, or building rules ahead of time so the visit goes smoothly. At the appointment, the technician diagnoses the cooktop, explains the cause, and goes over repair options before starting work. Common parts can often be replaced on the first visit. Some brand-specific parts have to be ordered, and we'll tell you if that's the case.
Safety First: When to Stop Using Your Cooktop
If you smell gas, don't turn any burners on or off and don't flip light switches. Leave the home and call your gas utility or 911 from outside. Once the gas side has been made safe, we can come diagnose the cooktop itself.
Also stop using the cooktop if a burner won't shut off, an electric element stays red when the control is off, the glass is cracked through, or you see scorching or melted wiring. Turning off the breaker or the gas shutoff valve until we arrive is a reasonable step.
