# La Cornue teppanyaki element repair cost

### Why this is priced with the electronics rather than the burners

Because that is what it is. Everything else on a La Cornue cooktop that costs this much to repair has gas in it; the teppanyaki has an element, a temperature sensor and a control that is expected to hold a solid steel plate anywhere between 140 and 482 °F. There is nothing consumable in it and nothing to adjust, so the diagnosis is a meter — resistance cold, current under load, sensor output against actual plate temperature at several points rather than one.

What moves this figure

from $285, and the parts are not generic

No heat at all and one temperature only are different problems

A bowed plate is not a control problem and no control repair will help

An open element is unambiguous. A sensor drifting is subtler and cheaper.

Plate flatness

A bowed griddle cooks unevenly whatever the control does, and that is a plate.

Parts lead time

A plate element for this module is not a shelf item and the wait is quoted before it is ordered.

Whether the control is shared

On some tops the module shares a control with an induction zone, which changes the diagnosis.

How it is used

A module used weekly fails differently from one used twice a year, and the second is the commoner call.

### It smokes and food sticks. Is that a repair?

Often not. A griddle needs the right temperature for what is on it and it needs to be genuinely clean — carbonised residue both sticks and smokes at temperatures a clean plate handles happily. Check the actual temperature against the dial first: a sensor reading high will smoke at a setting that used to be right, and that is a repair rather than a technique.

### Can it be replaced with something else if the part is unavailable?

The module, no — it is part of a made-to-order cooktop configuration and the opening in the frame belongs to it. What can sometimes be done is a different module in the same aperture, which is a conversation with a lead time and a quote rather than something to decide in a kitchen.
