Thor Cooktop Repair in San Diego

What Thor builds into its cooktops shapes the repair: Thor rangetops and cooktops are pro-style gas units with heavy cast grates, plus a few induction and electric models.

Across the Thor cooktop lineup, the recurring failures are spark igniters, spark modules, burner valves, and induction power boards. From the owner's side, the usual signs are these: burners clicking, burner not lighting, and low flame. When all burners click at once, a knob switch that got wet during cleaning is the usual trigger, so let it dry before calling. A gas cooktop burner that will not light after cleaning probably has a damp igniter or a cap seated incorrectly.

Pro-style rangetops route several burners through one spark module, so a single wet or failing knob switch can set every igniter clicking. Heavy cast grates make it easy to knock burner caps out of position, which causes uneven flames or no ignition at all. Valve failures are uncommon and should be confirmed only after the igniter, cap and ports have been checked.

Power surges after outages are hard on induction and touch-control cooktops, so a cooktop that stopped working after a Santa Ana event needs its board and fuse checked. We check the cutout ventilation and power supply before blaming an induction board.

Thor ranges need the correct gas type, the anti-tip bracket and a hood sized for the burner output. A repair for the spark igniters is quoted in writing first and warranted afterward: 90 days on parts, 30 on labor.

Clean glass tops with a scraper and cooktop cleaner, not abrasive pads. If the trouble is burner not lighting, a short video of the symptom helps us arrive prepared.
