Kenmore Gas Range - burners won't ignite
I have a Kenmore gas range, model number 362.7556191. I was cleaning the top of the stove this morning and when I turned on the knobs for the burners, they wouldn't ignite. All I get is a clicking noise. The oven and broiler work fine.

-   I have had this problem with a different brand gas igniting stove top. Usually I will make sure it is clean in/around the spark unit (usually located at the top near the slotted holes. Also, I ensure that the top plate is seated correctly on top of the slotted gas exit area. Sometimes I use a match to start the unit and it will work the next time I use the spark igniter. Good luck ... Please try any/all before hiring or calling in any service repair person... This has worked for me for years. Tommy O

its possible your gas regulator is bad or the gas line to the ignitor is stopped up look at the line and see if some type of food has blocked the outlet

I may need to buy a new stove. The one that I have now is a Kenmore electric self cleaning oven. It stopped working properly yesterday and I had to turn the power supply off. My dad has an account with Lowes. I saw a nice GE freestanding electric range for around $400 at Lowes.com. I do not want a self-cleaning oven because I feel that they are fire hazards. I just want a good basic electric oven with the coil burners.

I have a 30 yr old gas Wards MicrowaveRange model CG2500B that has finally given up the ghost. It was built by Caloric. GE sold a similar unit during that time period. The oven thermostat has died, max temp now is 200 degrees. I'm looking for a thermostat - pn 66363 or Y0066363(Whirlpool says no longer available nor any suitable substitute.) Baring finding a thermostat I need to find a stove with at least the same capabilities and width.
It is a 30" wide with 4 burners on top and the single oven is self clean, convection and microwave all in one. It would cook a 22 lb turkey in about 2 1/2 hrs time. Does any manufacturer currently make a stove with the same capabilities?
I live near Fairbanks Alaska and have a very limited number of dealers here who are all nay sayers. They have never heard of a stove being built this way.
Thanks
The model number is VJ21ZVT5

The clicking burner lighter won't stop clicking. It doesn't matter whether the gas is on or off. The only thing that stops it is unplugging it. When I plug it back in it starts again. Help!
