Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off gas supply at the shutoff valve and disconnect electrical power before removing any panels. Beware of gas leaks.
- Dry the burners: If the issue started after cleaning or a spill, remove burner caps and let the area dry completely. Use a hair dryer on low setting to speed drying around electrodes.
- Check power: Ensure the cooktop is plugged in and the outlet has power. Test with another appliance.
- Inspect spark electrodes: Look for cracked ceramic insulators or heavy grease buildup. Clean gently with a soft brush and degreaser.
- Listen for clicking: Turn a knob to ignition position. If there is no clicking at all, the ignition module may not be powered or is defective.
When to call a technician: If F0 persists and there is no ignition clicking, the ignition module or wiring likely needs replacement.
