Good afternoon. It is more than likely that the little spark that comes from that clicking noise is not sparking. Here's a quick fix take a match or a lighter turn you're not on to where it clicks with a lit match it will light if your gas is coming out it will light. Leave it on just for about 30 seconds do it to both of your burners this should solve the problem. Usually after I wash my stove top off is when one or two of mine have done this to me . if it continues to happen however take a small piece of steel wool around that little ignitor tip ( they gather soot and grease at times) and just go across that for a few seconds each. Good luck I hope it helps I know it does on mine.
1) the switch that supplies power to the spark module when the burner is turned on is bad...its located on the shaft of the burner valve thier is one switch for each knob so counting the oven and the burners their is 5 (the oven is different from the surface burners) to check those switches what needs to be done is remove the knobs then the face panel so ya can get to the knobs.
No is where is gets a bit complcated if ya dont follow all procedures....the knob must turned on to check so gas will be flowing and ya must light the gas using a match or raw gas will eneter the kitchen...or if possible temporarly turn off gas supply to the unit.also POWER MUST BE DISCONNECTED and then with power off and the burner lit manually once turned on ya would need to check each switch to have continuity,if any of the switches does not have continuity when measured with a ohm meter that switch will be bad
2) the igniter is cracked so power is coming from spark module yet since its cracked power is jumping out before it gets the where it lights the burners.
Before you go to match lighting, have you changed the battery in the ignitor button? If you haven't, I'd start there first. Unscrew the ignitor cap and the battery's Positive Tip (+) will be facing you. Be sure to install the new battery in the same direction.While the battery is out, check for any corrosion that may be present in the battery holder. A Q-Tip & WD40 work well to clean out any corrosion.
To match light the burners ... use a long stick match (also called a hearth match) and carefully guide the match between the grates and under the flame tamers, as close to each burner as possible. Of course, the match should be lit prior to doing this. Turn each burner on individually, as you place the lighted match next to it. Once the burner lights, turn it down to low and move to the next burner and so on, until all the burners you want to use are lit. Then set the flame heights where you want them.
Hope this helped you. Please let me know and Happy Grilling!!
With the gas off, wait til it's getting somewhat dark out, and try the ignitor for the left burner and locate where it's sparking. If it's not positioned properly, or the wire has a short, it will not light the burner. Compare the ignitor positions for the other burners and adjust the sparking position as needed til it lights. Do not leave the gas on for more than 5 sec when trying to light it, so you don't have a build-up of gas and singe yourself.
One burner doesn't consistently light. Igniter sparks but not the same as the other - "good" burners spark at top of igniter and moves around to light, "bad" burner sparks toward the bottom and doesn't move much. I can use the burner by lighting with a match and it works fine. Have tried cleaning with a toothbrush without much success
All my ignitors spark when I turn one of them on. I'v been told it is normal. I had a problem before and the tech that replace the ignitor said the issues is with alignment. Try to rotate the burner a bit left or right and see if it fixes it.
