What to know about Thor Kitchen cooktops
Thor Kitchen cooktops include gas rangetops with sealed burners and continuous grates, gas cooktops for counter cutouts, and some induction models. Rangetops are installed in a cabinet base with a hood above, and they put out a lot of heat, so igniters, spark modules and burner valves take steady wear. The most common calls are constant clicking after spills, burners that will not light or light slowly, uneven flames and knobs that loosen. On induction models, cooling fans and power boards can fail. We test each burner or zone, check the gas supply and quote first.
TrueFix Las Vegas is an independent repair company, not affiliated with Thor Kitchen. If this cooktop is still under its factory warranty, contact Thor Kitchen first.

- Rangetop spark module clicks without stopping after spills

Repairing Thor Kitchen cooktops in the Las Vegas Valley
Thor Kitchen sells three kinds of cooking surface without an oven: pro-style gas rangetops with front-facing knobs and continuous grates that drop into a cabinet opening, drop-in gas cooktops that sit in a countertop cutout, and glass induction cooktops. Rangetops come in 30-, 36- and 48-inch widths, and the larger ones can include a griddle.
Each type has its own weak points. Rangetops concentrate a lot of heat in front of the knobs, drop-in cooktops share space with drawers below, and induction depends on electronics and airflow. We start by identifying the model and its installation, then test each burner or zone and the supply feeding it.
Rangetop heat and the front control panel
On a rangetop, the valves and spark switches sit right behind the knobs, a few inches from high-output burners. Over time, heat and grease work their way into the switches, which leads to weak sparks or switches that stick on. Knobs can loosen as the valve stems wear.
Low-flame settings on each valve can sometimes be adjusted. If a burner goes out on its lowest setting or produces a flame that is too high on simmer, adjustment may solve it before any parts are needed.
Drop-in gas and induction models
Drop-in cooktops plug into an outlet below for ignition power and connect to a gas line with a regulator. If none of the burners spark, check the outlet before suspecting the spark module.
Induction cooktops use touch controls that can lock or misread when wet. They also need airflow beneath the glass, so blocked vents or a cooktop installed above a hot oven can trigger shutdowns.
Checks worth doing at the counter
Lift each burner cap and head, wash them, dry them completely and set them back flat and centered. Wipe the igniter tips with a dry cloth. On induction, dry the glass and the touch area thoroughly, turn off the control lock and try a heavy pan that a magnet grips firmly.
Shut off power and gas before sliding a rangetop out of its cabinet or lifting a drop-in cooktop. If you smell gas with every knob off, close the shutoff valve, avoid switches and flames, and contact the gas utility from outside.
Parts, sourcing and repair value
Spark switches, modules, electrodes, valves, knobs, griddle thermostats and induction modules are the parts we replace most. On a unit that sits in custom cabinetry under a large hood, repair nearly always costs less than replacement and avoids cabinet changes.
Thor parts are ordered by model number, and availability varies by line and age. We confirm parts and timing before quoting, so you know how long the cooktop will be out of service before you approve the repair.

Water or grease near a valve switch can make the spark module fire continuously. Turn off power to the rangetop, remove the knobs and let the area dry. If the clicking continues once dry, a switch or the spark module is faulty and needs replacement.
Let it cool fully, lift off the grates and burner caps, and clean the caps and heads with warm soapy water. Clear ports with a soft brush, avoiding enlarging holes. Dry everything completely and reseat the caps flat. Uneven or yellow flames after cleaning may need a closer look.
Some buzzing is normal with induction, especially on high power or with layered pans. A loud or changing noise, or a fan that runs constantly, may indicate a fan or board problem. Try a different, heavy-bottomed pan first. If the noise continues, we can inspect it.
Thor recommends a properly sized hood for its rangetops, which produce substantial heat and combustion products. Without adequate ventilation, heat can affect cabinets and controls. We check the installation for clearance issues, including heat marks on nearby cabinets, while servicing the rangetop.
Rangetops place the knobs and valves close to powerful burners, so some warmth is normal. If the knobs become too hot to hold, large pans may be pushing heat forward, the hood may not be pulling enough air, or the heat shield behind the panel may be missing. We check the installation and the panel to keep the switches from overheating.
Water or cleaner on the touch controls can make the cooktop ignore commands or show an error. Dry the glass completely, wait a few minutes, and check whether the control lock is on. If it still will not respond, cut power at the breaker for a minute and try again. If that fails, the control board or touch panel needs testing.
On many gas valves, the minimum flame has a small adjustment screw behind the knob. If a burner goes out on low or simmers too hot, a technician can set it correctly for your gas type. It must be done with the burner lit and checked across the full range of the knob, so it is not a job for guesswork.
Griddles use their own burner, igniter and sometimes a thermostat. If the griddle will not light or heats unevenly, we inspect the burner under the plate, clean grease buildup and test the thermostat. The plate may need to be lifted, and we protect the cabinet and counter while working.
Often it does not. Many valve and switch repairs can be done by removing the front panel and knobs while the rangetop stays in the cabinet. Larger repairs, such as a manifold or module replacement, may require sliding it forward. We disconnect gas and power first and leak-test everything before you cook again.
