Some Café built-in gas cooktops have a control lock knob. Turned to Locked, it lights an indicator and stops gas from reaching the burners, so turning a burner knob only makes the igniters spark. Café cooktop display What to do when Lock light (gas) shows on the cooktop ### Kind of code Mode, not a failure A state the cooktop was put in, or one it picked deliberately — a child lock, a demo mode that lights the keys but heats nothing, a residual-heat letter over a zone that is still warm, a prompt that no pan has been found. Nothing has broken and no part is called for. ### Usually leads to No repair Set the lock knob back to its Unlocked position. ### Shows up as Cooktop Burner Won't Light The igniter clicks but the gas never catches, the burner lights only after several tries, or nothing happens at all when the knob is turned. ### Make Café A GE Appliances label with a design-led look, including cooktops set into the counter. ### Source Café built-in gas cooktop owner's manual (CGP7030, CGP9530) Café built-in gas cooktops CGP7030, CGP7036, CGP9530 and CGP9536, on models with the lock knob. ## Before you book, in this order.

The cooktop came right without a new part. If the same message returns while a zone or burner is on, or the top shuts itself down again mid-meal, treat it as a fresh problem and book it. ### What not to do Sparks with no flame while the lock light is on do not mean a failed igniter.

Set the lock knob back to its Unlocked position. ### Why won't my Café gas cooktop light even though it clicks? Look at the lock light. Café's manual says a locked cooktop blocks gas, so the burners spark without igniting. ### Does the Café gas lock also stop the igniters? No. The igniters still spark when a knob is turned; only the gas is blocked. ### Which Café gas cooktops can show this lock light? The built-in CGP7030, CGP7036, CGP9530 and CGP9536, on the versions fitted with a control lock knob. On those, the lit indicator confirms gas to the burners stays shut off until the knob returns to Unlocked. --- **[Read on the site: Café gas cooktop with the lock light on](https://cooktoprepair.center/error-codes/cafe-gas-lock-light/)** **[Book a visit with CooktopRepair.center](https://cooktoprepair.center/schedule/)**
