Typical causes
Spills, heat and daily use are hard on a cooktop's igniters, switches and elements.
Spills and cleaning products get into the igniter or switch and cause constant clicking or no spark at all.
Signs you'll see
Clicking, burners that won't light.
How it's confirmed
Igniters and switches are cleaned, dried and tested one at a time.
On electric cooktops, the switch behind each knob sets the element's heat. Worn contacts leave a zone with no heat or full heat.
Signs you'll see
Zones stuck on high, or not heating.
How it's confirmed
Each switch is tested under load.
Coil and radiant elements eventually burn out from repeated heating and cooling.
Signs you'll see
One cold zone, visible damage on a coil.
How it's confirmed
Element resistance is measured to confirm the fault.

Stop using it right away. The glass top has to be replaced before the cooktop is safe again.
Moisture in the spark switch is the most common cause. Let the area dry fully; if the clicking continues, the switch needs replacing.
The pan may not be induction compatible. Test it with a magnet; if the magnet sticks, the cookware is fine and the cooktop needs a diagnosis.
The burner isn't getting enough air, often because of dirty ports. Have it checked, and keep your carbon monoxide alarm working.
