### Older housing stock

Electric cooktops in older houses can be wired through a junction box added long after the original wiring, and loose or heat-darkened splices in that box explain many zones that heat on Monday and refuse on Tuesday.

### Gated communities

Service here is booked through the owner or estate staff with the guardhouse told in advance, and the stone around a cooktop is protected before any glass is raised or a burner box opened.

### Cooking for a crowd

Long dinners with every burner lit build heat beneath the counter, where a cooktop's control board, cooling fan and knob switches sit, and those parts fail sooner in houses that entertain often.
