Gas Cooktop Won't Ignite — Spark and Fuel Delivery
Ignition failures can be spark-side or fuel-side. We test both paths safely so the repair targets the actual failure point.
Typical symptoms
- Clicking but no flame
- No spark on one or more burners
- Delayed ignition after repeated clicks
- Ignition works on some burners only
Common causes
- Misaligned burner caps or blocked ports
- Weak/dirty electrode path
- Failed spark switch or harness
- Spark module output faults
- Fuel delivery or valve consistency issues
If gas odor is present without stable ignition, stop use and ventilate before service.
How We Diagnose Gas Ignition Failures
We confirm burner alignment first, then isolate spark-switch/module faults from fuel-delivery issues.
Burner and cap alignment
Physical alignment and port condition are checked before electrical parts are replaced.
Electrode and spark path
Electrode condition, grounding, and spark quality are tested on each affected zone.
Switch and module mapping
We identify whether one switch or the shared spark module is causing the failure.
Fuel delivery verification
Valve and gas-path behavior are validated when spark is present but ignition fails.
Gas Ignition Repair Expectations
Cap/port corrections can be modest. Switch, harness, or spark-module repairs vary by model and are quoted after verified testing (labor typically $120-$240).
Gas Cooktop Won't Ignite FAQ
Austin ignition troubleshooting questions.
Can one bad switch affect multiple burners?
Yes. Shared spark systems can cross-affect burners depending on switch/module faults.
Should I keep trying to ignite if it fails?
Avoid repeated attempts if gas odor is present; schedule diagnosis.
Is this the same as oven ignition repair?
No. Surface-burner ignition systems are different from oven cavity ignition systems.
