CTD-304
DCS CTD-304 Drop-In Cooktop Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Rubber grate cushions worn flat
- Burner slow to light after a boil-over
- Knobs warm or hot when handled
- Grates rattling on the surface
The DCS CTD-304 is a four-burner drop-in gas cooktop for 30-inch cutouts, sold around 2006 to 2008. It has Dual Flow Burners, full-coverage platform grates, and a 21-inch depth made for large pots, with metal control knobs.
Full-coverage grates are the first thing we look at on this model. The cushions under them wear out, and then the grates shift, rattle, or scratch the surface. After that we check each burner for clogged ports or a wet ignitor, especially after a spill. Metal knobs that get hot are a heat-path issue we inspect, since a gap near the panel can let heat reach them.
As a model sold around 2006 to 2008, parts need to be confirmed before work. We give a written price first, and we say plainly if a repair is not worth it. Our work carries a 30-day workmanship warranty, and we match the label before we order.

Why do my grates rattle?
The cushion supports under the grates wear out over time, and then the grates shift on the surface. We replace the supports so the grates sit steady and do not scratch the cooktop.
Are hot metal knobs normal?
Metal knobs warm up near a burner, but very hot knobs deserve a look. We check the area around the panel for heat paths and make sure the knobs are seated correctly.
Is a 2006 to 2008 cooktop worth repairing?
Often yes, if parts are available. We confirm them first, give you a written price, and tell you plainly when a repair is not worth the cost, so you can decide with the facts.
