how to fix a gas stove burner that won't light

Millard Justantrind · Sunday, November 7, 2021

Hello JanuarysRose. Welcome to my Gas Appliances topic and the Do-It-Yourself Web Site.

Clarifying the situations and conditions needs to be done so we can proceed with a better diagnosis. The fact that there is sparkers heard clicking indicates the stove does not have pilots. You are correct about that issue. So that aspect can be ignored. No pilots to clean....

However, the location of the sparkers may be important. If they are visable by being alongside the burners and not producing sparks which are visable but in fact clicking, there is a short circuit in the system. the electrical power is not getting to the sparkers electrodes.

The spark may be shorting out through or at the side of the ceramic and/or through a wire where the insulation coating is damaged, at a point where a wire connection is made and/or at a terminal end, etc.

Point above is, there is likely to be a short circuit and/or electrical grounding condition, etc. where the electrical current is not making it to the spark ignitors electrode end. May require a professional to locate and correct.

Clarification point needed. When you say goes out or gone out, I suspect you mean the sparkers are not working. Meaning not sparking....??? Not meant is burner flames going or gone out after being lighted...correct???

Sparkers will all fire regardless of which burner is to be used or which knob is turned on to ignite a burner. All sparkers will fire.
