Harvey Norman Cooktop

5 Harvey Norman Cooktop Solutions to Common Household Problems
1. No flame from a gas burner
If your gas burner won’t light, check for these signs:
- If you hear clicks but don’t smell gas, the gas flow may be blocked.
- If you smell gas but hear no clicks, the ignition switch could be faulty.
Call a local repair specialist to diagnose and fix the issue safely.
2. Low heat from the gas burner
Slow heating may result from clogged burners. To fix:
- Remove the grates and soak them in dish soap for 20 minutes.
- Scrub thoroughly with a hard bristle brush.
- Wipe down the cooktop surfaces.
If performance doesn’t improve, contact a professional.
3. No heat from the electric burner
Test other burners first. If multiple burners fail, it may indicate an electrical problem. Call a qualified electrician to avoid further damage.
4. Induction cooktop not heating correctly
Ensure your pan is induction-compatible. Suitable materials include:
- Cast iron
- Enamelled cast iron
- Ferromagnetic stainless steel
Cookware made from aluminium, glass, or copper will not work properly on induction surfaces.
5. Clicking from the gas cooktop
Some clicking is normal, but persistent clicking after ignition may indicate a blockage. Solutions include:
- Call a maintenance specialist to clear the burner.
- Remove excess moisture by towelling the stovetop or using a fan.
If the problem persists, professional repair or replacement may be necessary.
