A number of years ago, in our very first completely new house, we had the builder grade stove short out when a pot boiled over. We replaced it with a new, 30” Wolf gas cooktop. It was great.
We moved.
Our current house had a gas cooktop as well. We had a boil over — again — and shorted out a burner. I guess I should add here that I am clearly not a very effective cook — I do much better with my crock pot. Anyway, we replaced that cooktop with another Wolf 30” gas cooktop.
Today I did something stupid. I poured boiling water into a mason jar and it cracked. Now, the bottom didn’t fall out and there wasn’t a huge flow of water before I realized what happened and put the jar in the sink. There was a little water on the cooktop but nothing near the burner or the power knob. We were told when we bought this unit that it was not going to be damaged due to boil overs because of the way it is sealed.
We didn’t think anything about it until my husband tried to turn on the burner for some unknown reason and it wouldn’t light. Also, the gfi plug next to the stove kept tripping. We can’t get it to stay on. There is no power on that side of the room.
So, now we have a call out to the repair person who will be here tomorrow. If somebody gets freed up today they might be by today. I have never used this company before but they seemed nice and professional.
I am so totally annoyed. This is the third stove that has gone kaput on me! And this one is only 4 years old! I am ready to give up gas, go back to electric except that we don’t have a 220 line under the cabinet to plug into which would, of course, required an electrician and I have no idea how many $$.
So, sandwiches for dinner anybody?

How very frustrating. I hope it can be fixed
We are all electric as there is no gas in this part of Norfolk, and I do not want a large gas tank outside my house.
I just made a rice pudding in my microwave and it boiled over- everything is white and sticky!
I have no idea why I decided on a hot pudding on such a warm day!😉
Your rice pudding sounds delicious! I have been thinking about making pudding (custard) for several days but now I guess not! At least until after tomorrow. I am hoping it can be fixed as well but here in the US the push is to go all electric and they are phasing out gas “things” and I am afraid they aren’t going to have parts, even though it is a pretty new unit. I really don’t want to have to go to the expense of a 220 line in addition to a new cooktop! Grrr1
