A cooktop that keeps sparking even with all knobs off usually has moisture or spilled liquid bridging a spark module, rather than a genuine ignition system failure.
Cooktop & Burner
Cooktop problems cover gas burner ignition, induction element faults, and the control board driving them — issues that show up as a burner that won’t light, won’t stop sparking, or an induction zone that won’t heat.
A cooktop that keeps sparking even with all knobs off usually has moisture or spilled liquid bridging a spark module, rather than a genuine ignition system failure. The most common cause is moisture or spilled liquid bridging a spark igniter.
Cleaning an igniter or burner cap is safe to try, but confirming an induction power-module or control board fault requires testing with a meter.
If a burner or zone simply won’t light or heat, yes — but if it’s sparking continuously, turn it off at the breaker and have it checked.
Induction needs magnetic, properly sized cookware centered on the zone — if that’s confirmed and it still won’t detect, the fault is likely in the coil or control board.
It varies by which component is involved, confirmed in writing after the on-site diagnostic.
Once diagnosed, most are same-visit repairs.
