Fix / Freestanding Gas Range / Burner won't ignite

Gas range burner won't ignite?

A cracked or carbon-fouled spark electrode cannot produce a spark arc to the burner head, preventing ignition.

• Igniter Electrode

  Easy DIY Part: $15–$40

• Range Spark Module

  Moderate DIY Part: $30–$70

  A failed spark module does not generate the high-voltage pulses needed to fire any of the surface burner electrodes.

• Range Surface Burner Cap Set

  Easy DIY Part: $15–$40

  A misaligned or wet burner cap blocks gas ports and prevents the spark from contacting the gas flow, stopping ignition.

• Range Surface Burner Head

  Easy DIY Part: $15–$40

  Clogged gas ports in the burner head prevent gas from reaching the spark arc, so ignition attempts produce no flame.

• Range Surface Burner Valve, 17,000-BTU

  Hard DIY Part: $25–$60

  A faulty burner valve stuck in the closed position prevents gas from flowing to the burner even when the knob is turned.
