Château Range Cooktop (165 cm, same hob codes as Château 165)
La Cornue Château Cooktop 165 cm Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Gas burners igniting, or induction zones seeing the pan
- Lava-rock grill staying lit on gas codes that include one
- Level seating of the cooktop in its opening
One of the broader surfaces in the La Cornue line, this 165 cm cooktop is the Château 165 hob in stainless steel, set into a counter. It follows that range’s gas, dual-fuel and induction choices. With no oven underneath, the cooktop is the whole appliance, and a lava-rock grill is among the gas options by code.
We begin by establishing which hob you have, then test it by its own method. On gas we light each burner, judge the flame, measure pressure, and look at the ignition and flame-safety device on any burner that dies. A lava-rock grill that will not stay lit is checked at the burner and its air supply. On induction we test whether each zone detects a pan and heats.
No display exists on the hob, so there are no codes. We check how the cooktop sits in its cutout, read model and serial from the label before ordering parts, and give you a written price before work.
Key features
- Wide stainless-steel cooktop for a counter above or beside wall ovens
- Stretches 165 cm (about 65 in)
- Hob choices follow the Château 165: gas, dual-fuel or induction
- No oven underneath
The lava-rock grill will not stay lit. What now?
We check gas flow to that position, the ignition and flame-safety device, and the burner ports. A grill that goes out as soon as the knob is released usually points to the safety sensing.
Does the cooktop need to be level?
Yes, and flush. An uneven cooktop can affect how the flame sits and how the unit seals to the counter. We check the fit as part of the visit.
What if only one induction zone fails?
We try a known pan on it and on another zone to rule out the cookware, then test that zone's detection and power, since a single dead zone is isolated from the rest.
