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.

Specified kitchens

Brass bezels, colored knobs and stainless trim on pro rangetops are ordered in their original finish, so a repaired rangetop still matches the cabinetry around it.

Mixed housing

On a mixed street, an older gas cooktop with mechanical valves may be easier to keep going than a recent induction top whose power board has to be ordered from the maker.
