Summer storms and the odd winter outage can leave a cooktop's electronic controls confused when the power comes back, and a surge can damage a board. Most no-heat problems, though, come down to an igniter, a bake or broil element or a temperature sensor, and we test each before ordering parts.
Basement laundry down a narrow stair is the norm here, and long-held homes often still have their original shutoff valves.

Four types of cooktop, four ways of heating
Gas cooktops use sealed burners lit by spark igniters. Each burner has its own valve, and higher-end models may have a dual-ring burner or a dedicated simmer burner with a separate flame path. Professional-style gas cooktops sometimes use re-ignition, which re-sparks automatically if a flame goes out.
Radiant glass cooktops use ribbon heating elements under a ceramic glass surface. An infinite switch or a touch control cycles power to each element, and a hot-surface indicator lamp stays on until the glass cools. Bridge zones and expandable elements add extra circuits.
Induction cooktops use a coil under the glass that creates a magnetic field. The field heats the pan directly, so the glass gets warm only from the pan sitting on it. Induction needs magnetic cookware, has a cooling fan and power electronics underneath, and uses pan detection to switch on. It is increasingly common in new-construction homes and condos.
Coil cooktops, now less common, use plug-in coil elements over drip pans. They are the simplest of all to service.
