What should I do if my cooktop burners are not igniting?

If the burners are not igniting, ensure the cooktop is plugged in and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Clean the burner caps and ensure they are properly seated. If the issue persists, the igniter may need to be checked or replaced.

Regularly clean the cooktop and avoid using cookware with warped bottoms. Use the appropriate burner size for your pots and pans to ensure even heating and energy efficiency.

Why is my cooktop making clicking noises when turned off?
