My induction cooktop says it doesn't detect my pan. Is my cookware the problem?

Often, yes — induction requires magnetic, flat-bottomed cookware, and warped or non-magnetic pans are a common, non-repair cause. If the same pan worked before and suddenly isn't detected, that points to an actual sensor or coil problem worth a diagnostic visit.

Is it safe to keep using a gas cooktop with one burner that won't stay lit?

The other burners are generally fine to keep using, but a burner that won't hold a flame is often an early sign of a igniter or gas-valve issue that's worth having checked before it affects the rest of the cooktop.

Do Wolf gas cooktops use touch controls like the induction models?

No — Wolf's gas cooktops use mechanical knob controls, while the CT/CI induction lines use capacitive touch electronics. Because the failure points are different, it helps to mention which type you have when booking.

Wolf Cooktop Repair | Same-Day Service

Wolf’s gas cooktops rely on sealed dual-stacked burners, spark igniters, and mechanical knob controls — most problems come down to a worn igniter, a burner port clogged with debris, or a valve issue affecting flame consistency. Wolf’s induction cooktops (the CT and CI lines) work on entirely different electronics: capacitive touch controls, cookware-detection sensors, and induction coils that can fail independently of each other.

Because the two platforms don’t share failure points, our technicians diagnose gas and induction cooktops differently from the first visit — checking igniters and burner ports on gas models, and touch-control response plus coil/sensor behavior on induction models — rather than treating “cooktop repair” as one generic service.
