Possible Causes

Dirty burner caps and ports, Worn or cracked spark electrode, Faulty ignition switch on that burner knob, Loose electrode wire

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off gas and power before cleaning or removing parts.

  • Clean thoroughly: Remove burner caps and heads. Soak in warm soapy water, then clear ports with a toothpick. Dry completely.
  • Check electrode: Inspect for cracks or heavy buildup. Replace if damaged.
  • Test ignition switch: With power off, access the switches behind the control knobs. Use a multimeter to check that the switch closes when the knob is turned to ignite.

Do not use metal tools that can enlarge burner ports; this will affect flame quality.
