Possible Causes
Failed spark module, No power to range, Defective ignition switch harness, Blown internal fuse (if equipped)
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power and turn off gas supply before accessing internal components.
- Verify power: Ensure the range is plugged in and the outlet has power (test with another appliance). Gas ignition requires electricity.
- Listen for spark: If there is no clicking on any burner when knobs are turned to Lite, suspect the spark module or switch harness.
- Inspect spark module: Access the spark module (usually behind the control panel or under the cooktop). Check for burned spots or loose connectors. Replace if visibly damaged.
- Check switch harness: The ignition switches on each burner valve feed the spark module. Test continuity of the harness; replace if open or shorted.
