How we repair your Electric Radiant Cooktop
An electric radiant cooktop has ribbon or halogen heating elements under a smooth glass-ceramic surface. An electric radiant cooktop uses burners or elements, ignition or power controls, and temperature controls or thermostats to manage surface heat. A technician checks ignition, gas pressure or element continuity, switches and thermostats, and the condition of the cooking surface.
