If it's plugged in, check the fuse or circuit breaker and replace or reset it if necessary. If the issue persists after these steps, it's recommended to call an electrician.

      If your KitchenAid Cooktop burners aren't working, try these steps: if this is the first time you are using the cooktop, turn on any one of the burner knobs to release air from the gas lines. Ensure the control knob is pushed in before turning it to a setting. Check for any clogged burner ports (holes) or if the igniter needs cleaning.
