SGS365TS

What we most often repair on units like this

1. With a gas smell, close the shutoff valve before anything else, then examine the burner for a cracked cap or a blocked port
2. A burner that drops out after you release the knob is often a reignition sensor matter, not a bad valve
3. Uneven heat from the center burner is usually a clogged port, not a control problem

Step up from the SGS305TS and you get the SGS365TS: the same five-burner sealed layout and 16,000 BTU center burner, spread across 36 inches for 58,200 BTU on natural gas. It also leaves out the ExtraLow simmer burners, which means every burner takes the standard push-to-turn knob.

The wider top does not change how the cooktop gets repaired. It is still entirely mechanical, and the large majority of calls we get involve one of three things: spark igniters fouled by spills, burner caps that no longer seat properly, or sensors for the reignition feature that have built up residue.

We work from the knob to the flame: confirm the burner clicks, watch whether the flame stays after release, and compare the center burner with the outer ones. A center burner that looks weak while the others are fine nearly always comes down to its ports, so that is the first place we clean.
