Possible Causes

Cracked or contaminated igniter electrode, Loose igniter wire at that burner, Short to ground at burner base, Faulty output on spark module for that channel

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power and gas before lifting the cooktop surface.

  • Swap components: Swap the burner cap and head with a working burner to rule out a blocked burner head.
  • Inspect electrode: Check the ceramic insulator for cracks and ensure the metal tip is close (2–4 mm) to the burner cap.
  • Check wiring: Under the top, verify the igniter wire is firmly attached to the electrode and spark module. Look for cuts or burns.
  • Clean area: Remove grease and moisture around the igniter that could cause a short to ground.
  • Replace igniter: If the electrode is damaged or still does not spark after cleaning and wiring checks, replace the igniter for that burner.
