Possible Causes
Weak or dirty igniter, Blocked burner ports, Faulty gas valve, Incorrect air-gas mixture
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: If you smell strong gas, turn off the gas supply and power immediately, ventilate the area, and do not use open flames. Contact a qualified gas technician.
- Check ignition: Observe the burner during ignition. If the igniter glows but gas does not light promptly, the igniter may be weak and should be replaced.
- Clean burner: Once cool and gas is off, remove the burner cover and clean ports with a soft brush.
- Inspect connections: Ensure the gas line and fittings are tight. Use leak detection solution (never a flame) to check for leaks.
- Professional service: Gas valve and pressure adjustments must be performed by a licensed technician.
