Château Range Cooktop (120 cm, same hob codes as Château 120)
La Cornue Château Cooktop 120 cm Gas and Induction Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Gas flame quality and induction zone heat, whichever the hob has
- On mixed codes, one fuel failing while the other keeps working
- Whether the unit sits level in its cutout
Without an oven of its own, the 120 cm Château Cooktop is a stainless-steel hob for counters over or beside wall ovens. It matches the Château 120 hob codes, so one cooktop may carry gas burners alone, induction alone, or a mix of both on the same surface.
Mixed codes are the interesting service case, because gas and induction run on entirely different systems. If the gas burners light and the induction zone does not, the trouble is on the induction side and the gas supply is not the question, and the reverse is also true. We test each fuel on its own: flame, gas pressure and ignition for gas, and pan detection, power and symbols for induction.
The surface has no display, so there are no codes to read. We check the fit in the cutout, read the model and serial from the label before ordering parts, and give you a written price first.
Key features

- Matches the Château 120 hob codes: gas, dual-fuel or induction
- No oven underneath
The gas burners work but the induction zone does not. Is the whole cooktop bad?
No. Gas and induction run independently on a mixed hob. We test the induction zone and its power supply separately, since the gas side working tells us little about it.
What does dual-fuel mean on a cooktop?
It means the hob combines fuels, here gas burners alongside induction zones by code. We confirm from the label which combination you have, then test each fuel by its own method.
Does the cooktop need to be lifted out to be checked?
Usually not. We test burners, zones and ignition in place and only look at the cutout fit and level. We tell you before any work that would involve lifting the unit.
