Gas burner will not ignite; clicking sound may be present but no flame appears on a Brandt gas cooktop or gas range.

Safety first: Turn all burner knobs to OFF. If you smell gas, do not ignite any flames or operate electrical switches; ventilate the area and close the gas supply valve.

Steps:

• Check gas supply: Ensure the main gas valve to the appliance is open and that other gas appliances in the home work.
• Clean burner parts: Remove the burner cap and head. Clean the ports with a soft brush or toothpick to remove food or grease. Do not enlarge the holes.
• Dry the igniter: If the burner was recently cleaned or boiled over, moisture may be on the electrode. Gently dry the ceramic igniter with a cloth and allow time to air dry.
• Correct assembly: Refit the burner head and cap correctly, ensuring they sit flat and centered.
• Test ignition: Turn the knob to ignite. If there is no clicking, the spark generator or switch harness may be faulty and require replacement.
