Viking cooktops set into a counter, whatever they cook with: induction glass, radiant electric elements or gas burners. In a city where some kitchens never had gas, glass tops are as much a part of this work as burners, and the table above sends each symptom to the band it usually lands in.

The visit $89 comes off the repair
Reading the table, row by row
Row one is the induction call, and the first suspect is the pan, not the cooktop. An induction zone heats only cookware a magnet will cling to, so try a fridge magnet on the base of the pan. A pan that passes can still be ignored if it is much smaller than the ring or its base has warped off the glass. When a flat, magnetic pan of the right size still gets no heat with the other zones turned off, the fault is in the electronics under the glass, and that is the control board band.
Row two is a radiant element that stays dark while the others glow. The element, its switch or the wiring to it are the usual answers. There is no published band for a cooktop element, so this one is priced after the diagnosis, and you hear the figure before any work.
Row three is a keypad that ignores you. If your cooktop has a lock key, check that it is not on before anything else; a locked panel looks exactly like a dead one. After that, a touch panel that will not answer is control board work.
Rows four and five are gas cooktops, with the same spark and flame as the top of a range. They price differently. A burner that ticks on after it lights usually ends in the igniter band. One that stays silent is more often power, the spark module or the knob’s switch, and none of those has a band, so it is priced after the diagnosis. The two igniter pages in the problem library take each one further.
What the visit settles
At the visit the technician tests rather than swaps: the pan against the zone, the element for continuity, the keypad and the board behind it, the spark at each gas burner. The $89 comes off the repair once you approve it. Cutting a cooktop into a new counter, or running a new circuit or gas line to one, is not repair work, and these pages do not price it.
The six bands, in full
Most cooktop repair work sits on one of these six lines, and the failed part picks which; the address never does. Parts with no line of their own, such as hinges, seals, switches and modules, are priced from the diagnosis, before any work.
The visit The $89 call-out covers getting to you and diagnosing the fault in full, and all of that $89 is deducted from the repair once you approve it.
Each band is a span, not a price, because two failures that look alike on the outside can need different parts. The technician names one figure while standing at the appliance, from inside the span when the work has a band and from the diagnosis when it has none, and nothing is touched until you say yes. Say yes, and the $89 visit is taken off that figure.

It would start, run for about a minute, then stop with every light flashing. He pulled the fault code, found a dirty turbidity sensor and a stuck float switch, and cleaned both out.
Nadine Y. Stadium District
The door sat open about half an inch at the top and heat poured out. Both hinges had gone soft. He fitted new ones, adjusted the strike, and it pulls shut flush now.
Teodor L. Proctor District
Water was pooling under the crisper drawers every couple of days. A blocked drain tube, cleared and flushed, plus a torn door gasket he changed while it was open. Both explained before he started.
