It is serviceable. What it is not is something to force — a snapped stem is a far larger job than a stiff one, and it is the reason we ask people to stop turning it. ### Stiff dials: the valve stems Under each dial is a valve with a stem and a grease that stiffens once cooking residue works past the seal.

It is put right by servicing the stems, not by replacing the cooktop, and forcing a stiff dial is the one thing that turns it into a bigger job. ### Touch controls Three causes the maker publishes and all three are free: **water on your fingers**, the **control lock**, and **sleep mode**. Only after those does a control panel become a part. ### A cooktop with no life Check **both poles** of the breaker. A cooktop with one leg missing can look dead or behave oddly, and it is not an appliance repair. After that, a full minute at the breaker for a control that locked up after an outage — free, and it works often enough to try first. This article is based on: - Official manufacturer documentation - Internal repair procedures - Technician repair history - Company quality standards Before you book ## Questions about fisher & Paykel cooktop control & dial repair This is the article this maker’s own cooktop owners link more than any other, so it is not unusual and it is not the end of the appliance. The valve stems under the dials carry a grease that stiffens as cooking residue works past the seal, which in a kitchen that cooks daily takes a few years. It is serviceable. The one thing worth doing meanwhile is not forcing it — a snapped stem turns a service job into a valve replacement. Three free things first. Dry your hands — these panels read capacitance and water on a fingertip confuses them. Check the control lock, which is easy to set without meaning to. And check whether the panel is in sleep mode, which looks identical to a dead one. The maker publishes all three as the causes, and between them they end a good share of these calls. Start at the breaker, and specifically at both poles of it. A cooktop on a two-pole breaker with one leg tripped can look completely dead or behave very strangely, and it is not an appliance problem. After that, a control that has locked up after an outage is worth a full minute at the breaker before anything else. Usually yes, and that matters on a machine where the dials are part of the look. What is worth knowing is that the dial and the valve stem behind it are different things — a dial that spins freely and does nothing is one job; a dial that will not turn is the other, and they have different figures.
