Possible Causes
Failed spark switch at burner knob, defective spark ignition module, no power to cooktop, broken spark electrode wire
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and gas before removing knobs or panels.
- Check power: Verify the cooktop or range is plugged in and the breaker is ON. Electronic ignition requires 120 V.
- Test other burners: If none of the burners click, suspect the spark ignition module or power supply. If only one burner fails to click, suspect its individual spark switch or wiring.
- Inspect switches: Remove the burner knobs and access the spark switches mounted on the valve stems. Check for broken or loose wires.
- Replace components: Replace a defective spark switch for a single burner issue, or the spark ignition module if all burners fail to spark.
