The short answer
Control complaints dominate this appliance, and most of them are not control failures: spills, an active lock and thermal cut-outs after heavy use account for the bulk. Heating complaints are second and split between the element side and the supply side, which are cheap to tell apart before anyone is called.
Problems that turn up on these cooktops
- Touch pads unresponsive or a lock indication lit — Start with the glass, then the lock, then heat. The controls page ranks all of it.
- One cooking zone dead while the panel behaves — An element or power-module branch rather than a control one.
- Everything dead after a breaker event — A two-pole supply can lose one leg and still look alive; the controls page covers the check.
- Glass cracked or chipped — Takes the appliance out of service immediately, whatever else works.
- A burner that clicks continuously on a gas version — The igniter is being told the flame is out; wet or misaligned caps are the usual reason.
- Scratches or clouding on the ceramic — Cosmetic in origin, from dragged pans or the wrong cleaner, and not a fault to chase electrically.
The classes in frequency order
- Control and touch-panel complaints — The largest class by a wide margin, and mostly surface contamination, lock state or thermal cut-out rather than failed electronics.
- Heating faults on one zone — Second: an element or its switching device, and worth separating from a supply fault before any part is ordered.
- Supply and installation faults — Third. Built-in appliances are wired once, under a counter, and a loose termination shows up years later as an intermittent zone.
- Physical damage to the glass — Fourth, and the only class where the verdict is immediate.
- Ignition faults on gas members of the range — Fifth, and nearly always a wet or misseated burner cap rather than a failed igniter.

General guidance| Problem class | Rank here | Starts as owner work? |
|---|---|---|
| Controls and touch panel | First | Yes |
| Single-zone heating | Second | Only the checks |
| Supply and installation | Third | Breaker side only |
| Glass damage | Fourth | No, it is out of service |
| Gas ignition | Fifth | Cap and cleaning only |

Working safely around a built-in cooktop
Safety
Switch the cooktop off at the breaker before anything is lifted or unscrewed. A capacitor can hold a charge after the power is off. Do not use a cooktop with cracked glass, and if you smell gas near a gas version: do not switch anything on or off, leave the building, and call the gas utility or your emergency number from outside. Do not look for the leak yourself.
What is owner work here
Cleaning the glass, clearing a control lock, cooling a hot cooktop, cycling the breaker once and restoring ventilation under the counter are all owner work. Seating a gas burner cap and drying it is as well. Everything under the countertop, every terminal, every element and every module is a service call, because the appliance has to come up out of its cut-out to reach any of it. Cracked glass and a smell of gas are both immediate calls.

A generalized page, by design
This one is written across the Icon cooktop families rather than for a single model line, so it names and routes rather than instructing. Where a family-specific or model-specific page exists, that is the more precise answer and the pages below link onward. Not here: cut-out dimensions, terminal-block arrangements, element ratings and the lock-hold sequences that differ between panel generations.
