Same-Day Cooktop Repair in Katy & Surrounding Cities

For most of Katy — zip codes 77449, 77450, and 77494 — we can have a technician on-site the same day if you call before noon. From our closest dispatch point off I-10 West, travel time to Cinco Ranch or Cross Creek Ranch runs 20-35 minutes depending on Grand Parkway traffic. Evening slots are open Tuesday through Saturday for homeowners who can't step away from work mid-day. Call (832) 366-1414 before noon and we'll typically confirm a same-day window within the hour. You'll get a text when the tech is 30 minutes out — no sitting in a four-hour window.

Diagnostic visits are a flat $85-95, credited toward the repair if you move forward. Common repair ranges: spark igniter electrode replacement comes to $120-180 all-in for most gas units; control valve stem replacement runs $150-250 depending on brand; ceramic glass panel replacement starts around $380-550 for Samsung and LG induction models and can reach $700-plus on Thermador. Induction control board repair is the most variable — $180-420 depending on which component failed. Everything gets quoted after the diagnostic with no surprises added on install day. If you can describe the symptoms accurately by phone, we can often give you a rough range before the truck even rolls.

A straight appliance swap — same fuel type, same cutout size — usually doesn't require a City of Katy building permit. But if the job involves moving or extending a gas line, that requires a licensed plumber pulling a gas permit through the City of Katy Building Department; an appliance technician can't legally do that work. Switching from a 240V electric cooktop to a higher-amperage induction unit also triggers an electrical permit and a licensed electrician. Max Appliance Repair is upfront about these boundaries. If your job crosses into licensed-trade territory, we'll tell you exactly what's needed and can refer licensed subs we've worked alongside in the area — rather than quietly skipping a step that could fail inspection.

All three. Gas and electric radiant are straightforward; induction is more specialized but makes up a significant portion of calls in Katy given the LG and Bosch induction units common in 77494 builds. Proper induction repair means testing the IGBT transistors, induction coil resistance, and control board logic separately — a visual inspection tells you nothing useful. We carry an induction coil tester on the truck and have board-level repair capability for Samsung, LG, and Bosch units. Thermador induction diagnostics are also in scope, though OEM parts for Thermador sometimes add 3-5 business days to the repair timeline given limited local distributor stock.

OEM parts from Bosch and KitchenAid carry the manufacturer's standard 1-year parts warranty. Our labor is backed by a 90-day guarantee — if the same fault recurs within 90 days of our repair, we return at no additional charge. Ceramic glass panel replacements use OEM or OEM-equivalent glass and carry that same 90-day labor coverage. We don't install refurbished control boards or gray-market induction components; the callback rate on those is too high to stand behind them. Parts invoices are left with the homeowner so you have the manufacturer's warranty documentation in hand if you need it.

Coverage runs well past the city line. Fulshear, Richmond, Cypress, Brookshire, and Sugar Land all fall inside our normal service zone with no additional trip charge. Any address within roughly 20 miles of Katy Mills on FM 1463 gets the same flat diagnostic rate and same-day availability as a Cinco Ranch address. If you're in a newer development further west along I-10 toward Sealy, call (832) 366-1414 and we'll confirm coverage for your specific address — we can usually make it work with a scheduled morning slot.
