Cooktop

Uneven heat

Hot spots, or a burner that only works on high.

What this usually means

Uneven electric heat can be a failing element or limiter. Gas that only runs high or low is often a valve or a clogged simmer port.

What we typically check

• Element pattern and limiter cycling
• Gas ports and valve operation
• Pan size versus the burner
• Whether the glass or grate is sitting flat
