Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off all burner knobs. Verify there is no gas smell before proceeding. If you smell gas, ventilate the area and shut off the gas supply immediately.
- Check power: Confirm the cooktop or range is plugged in and the outlet has power by testing with another appliance. Reset any tripped breaker or GFCI.
- Listen for clicks: Turn a burner knob to the ignite position. If there is no clicking on any burner, the ignition module or power supply is suspect.
- Inspect cord and plug: Look for damage to the power cord or plug. Replace if damaged.
- Internal inspection: With power disconnected, access the ignition module and check for burned components or loose wiring. Replace the spark ignition module if it shows damage or if power is present but no sparks are produced.
Do not attempt repeated ignition if you suspect a gas leak; contact a qualified gas technician.
