Ilve Ignition Failure with Gas Flow Present

On gas or dual-fuel models, the oven burner does not ignite at all, but you can smell gas.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Failed ignition electrode, no spark from ignition module, electrode not grounded, blocked burner ports near electrode

Safety first: Turn off gas and ventilate the area immediately. Do not attempt repeated ignition if gas smell is strong.

Checks:

Inspect the ignition electrode for cracks or heavy deposits; clean or replace as needed.
Ensure the electrode mounting screw is tight to provide a good ground.
Clean burner ports around the electrode so gas reaches the spark.
If there is no clicking sound when ignition is attempted, test and replace the ignition spark module as required (by a qualified person).
