Monogram cooktops and rangetops
Two appliances that people describe with the same word. A cooktop drops into the counter and has nothing underneath it; a rangetop is a professional cooking surface with a finished front and a wall oven or cabinetry below. Monogram builds both — deep-recessed gas and induction cooktops in 30 and 36 inches, and 36 and 48-inch gas rangetops with griddles.

What goes wrong with it
Symptoms we are called out to on Monogram cooktops and rangetops
Each one covers the likely causes in the order they are worth checking, and what to do in five minutes before booking anything.
-
It clicks and clicks and nothing happens Burner will not light
One burner that sparks and will not light while the others are fine. Before any part is ordered there is a check that resolves a large share of these for nothing: the burner cap, which comes off for cleaning and goes back in an orientation that matters.
- Re-seat the cap before ordering anything
- One burner and all burners are different problems
- Continuous clicking is usually moisture
-
One zone dead, or the power dropping by itself Induction zone not working
Induction has no flame and no element — each position is a coil and a power module underneath, so the problems are electronic and heat-related. And it has the cheapest possible outcome of any call on this site: a pan that is not magnetic.
- A magnet settles it in five seconds
- One zone and one side are different problems
- Power dropping by itself is thermal protection
What we do on it
Repairs we carry out on Monogram cooktops and rangetops
Starting figures for this equipment in South Florida. The exact cost is confirmed after an on-site diagnostic — and this is not the whole list of what can go wrong, so call if your problem is not here.
-
from $95 Diagnostic visit
Nothing is named until something has been measured. On built-in appliances the visit also has to plan its own access before it starts: a column comes out from the front, a panel-ready door comes apart in an order, and a wall oven that has to move needs two people and a plan. We do that thinking before we arrive rather than in your kitchen.
- The model number first, because it decides the access
- What the appliance reports, read against the published table
- Credited toward the repair when you go ahead
-
from $145 Appliance maintenance
The visit that exists to stop the other visits. On built-in appliances in a salt-air climate the two things that shorten life are both invisible: a condenser that has silted up behind its grille, and door seals that have quietly stopped sealing. Neither shows on a display. Both are cheap to deal with and expensive to ignore.
- Condensers cleaned and airflow checked
- Seals, hinges and panel alignment across the kitchen
- Filters, drains and water circuits attended to
-
from $175 Appliance installation
Built-in appliances are installed once and lived with for twenty years, and most of the long-term problems we are called to were decided on installation day: a clearance that was shaved, a drain that has no fall, a hood ducted through one elbow too many. Getting it right the first time is cheaper than any of the repairs it prevents.
- Clearances and ventilation to the specification, not to the opening
- Water, gas and drain connections tested under pressure
- Panels hung and doors set level with the run
-
from $175 Surface igniter replacement
One burner sparks and will not light while the others are fine. Before any part is ordered there is a check that resolves a large share of these calls for nothing: the burner cap, which comes off for cleaning and goes back in an orientation that matters. A cap sitting a millimeter proud will spark forever and never light.
- Cap seating checked before anything is ordered
- Igniter, port and harness measured
- Continuous clicking is usually moisture
-
from $195 Gas burner and valve service
Flames that are yellow, uneven, or that will not turn down far enough to simmer. On a professional top the burners are serviceable — caps, rings, ports and the valve behind the knob — and most of these complaints are a cleaning and adjustment job rather than a replacement.
- Flame quality assessed burner by burner
- Valves cleaned and re-greased where the design allows
- Simmer performance set properly
-
from $205 Professional griddle and grill repair
The sections that make a 48-inch range a professional range, and the sections that get the hardest use. A griddle has its own burner or element and its own temperature control; a grill has its own burner, its own grease management and a genuine ventilation dependency. Both are separate repairs from the burners beside them.
- Griddle and grill diagnosed as their own appliances
- Grease management included, because it causes the rest
- Ventilation checked alongside
-
from $265 Induction cooktop repair
Induction has no flame and no element — each position is a coil and a power module underneath, and the failures are electronic. Zones that stop responding, zones that reduce power on their own, or a whole side that shuts down. Heat is the enemy of the modules, so the cooling path is part of the diagnosis rather than an afterthought.
- Cookware ruled out in five seconds with a magnet
- Cooling fan and air path treated as part of the problem
- One zone and one side are different problems
-
from $295 Appliance control board repair
The repair reached last and reached for first by the internet. A control board is expensive, frequently blamed and comparatively rarely the problem — most of what gets called a board failure is a sensor, a harness or a connector that has corroded in coastal air. Boards are condemned here by measurement.
- Everything the board depends on tested first
- Connectors and harnesses are the usual real cause
- Codes that name the control taken seriously, not literally

About Monogram cooktops and rangetops
Cooktop and rangetop are not the same appliance
It is worth being precise, because it changes the repair. A cooktop is a surface set into a counter with cabinetry or a drawer beneath it. A rangetop is a professional cooking appliance with a finished front, its controls on that front, and usually a wall oven underneath. Monogram makes both: deep-recessed gas cooktops and induction cooktops in 30 and 36 inches, and 36 and 48-inch professional gas rangetops with four or six burners and griddle options.
Gas: what fails and what only looks like a failure
Continuous clicking after a burner has lit is moisture, and in a Miami kitchen it is seasonal. A single burner that sparks but will not light is usually a cap seated wrong after cleaning, then the igniter. A burner with a lazy yellow flame is a port that needs clearing. The deep-recessed design Monogram uses contains spills better than a flat top does, which is a genuine advantage here, but it also means a spill that does get under a cap sits there rather than evaporating.
Induction: heat is the enemy of the electronics
There is nothing to burn out and nothing to ignite. Under the glass are coils and the power modules that drive them, and those modules are cooled by a fan through a defined air path. Block that path — a drawer packed to the back, an installation with less clearance than the specification asks for — and the zones start protecting themselves by dropping power. That reads to the cook as an appliance getting weaker, which is exactly what is happening, and it is worth catching before the module fails outright.
Before you book
Model number, gas or induction, cooktop or rangetop, and which position or positions are involved. If it is induction, try a pan you know is magnetic on the failing zone first — that one test settles a good share of these calls without a visit.

Questions about monogram cooktops and rangetops
The igniters click continuously even after the burner lights.
That is moisture or debris in the switch or around the igniter, and on a gas cooktop in this climate it is one of the most common calls of the year. A boil-over that went under a cap, a wipe-down that put water where it should not be, or simply an August week with the doors open will do it. It often settles once everything is properly dry — leave the caps off and give it a day. If it persists it is the switch or the module, which is an ordinary repair, but the clicking should not be ignored because a spark module running constantly is not a state it was built for.
One induction zone has stopped working.
First rule out the cookware — a magnet that will not stick to the base of the pan means the zone is behaving correctly. If other pans work on other zones and not on this one, the coil or the power module under that position is the suspect. If several zones on one side have gone at once, it is more likely the module that drives that side, or the cooling that keeps it alive: these modules sit in a confined space under the glass and reduce power or shut down when they cannot get rid of their own heat.
What is the difference between a rangetop and a cooktop for repairs?
Access, mostly, and it changes the visit. A cooktop is dropped into a counter cutout and lifts out from above once it is disconnected. A rangetop is a professional appliance with a finished front and controls on that front, slotted into a cabinet run and often sitting over a wall oven. Getting into one is a different operation, and the surrounding installation — the cabinetry, the oven below, the gas line — is part of the job. Tell us which you have and we will bring the right expectations.
