Whirlpool WCG52424AS Gas Cooktop Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Igniter sparking after the burner lights
- Burner cap seating and port cleanliness
- Cabinet cutout ventilation and gas connection
- Knob bezels and switch contacts
The WCG52424AS is a Whirlpool 24-inch built-in gas cooktop with sealed burners, electronic ignition and a stainless finish. At 24 inches it suits smaller Houston kitchens, condos and townhomes, and the compact cutout leaves little room for air around the gas connection.
A gas cooktop asks for different checks than an electric one. If a burner clicks but does not light, or keeps clicking after it does, we look at the igniter, the burner cap seating and the ports, then the ignition switch. We also check the gas connection for leaks, the cutout ventilation, and the knob bezels, which can loosen and let spills reach the switches.
We read the model and serial from the label before ordering. You approve a written price first, our repairs include a 30-day workmanship warranty, and we shut off the gas and tell you at once if we find anything unsafe.

The igniter keeps clicking after my burner lights. Why?
The ignition switch may be sensing moisture or food residue, or the cap may be misaligned. We clean and reseat it, then test the switch and igniter.
Is it safe to use a burner that clicks but will not light?
Turn the knob off and do not keep trying. Gas can build up. Call us and we will test the igniter and burner. Several failed attempts can leave gas in the area around the burner.
Does the small cutout matter?
Tight cutouts limit ventilation around the gas line and controls. We check clearance and the connection when we service it. On gas units we also keep the connection easy to reach for shut-off.
