High performance burner slow to light

After a year of use, my middle (largest) burner is slow to light, sometimes not lighting at all. The ignitor clicks vigorously but often is not able to light the burner. I can manually light the burner with a match so there is gas coming thru. The other burners light fine. Also I'm on LP.

Electronic ignitor on propane stove wont start

Close all valves, including the one on the supply tank.
Open valves SLOWLY starting with the tank. Safety valves are built in to prevent escape og gas if vales are broken off.
Turn on ONE burner valve and, depening on the ignition type of your stove, light it. (some have an electric spark generated by a power outlet (120v) and make a sort of poping sound, some have a spark generated by a push button type mechanism.
Once one burner lights, the others should light easily. Sometimes air gets in the lines, and this may have to bleed off, but it should only take a few seconds. -PS, make sure the stove is level, since gas tends to flow to the high spot.

My GE Monogram gas range will not light. The igniter keeps going off but the gas will not light.

Hi, sometimes cooking spills stop the ignitor from working. Clean the cook top thoroughly and try it again. Spills can also make the ignitor go off randomly when you are not operating your cooker. Check if the ignition point where the zap comes from is not turned or bent too far from its original position. If you have a gas shut off make sure it is fully open to supply enough gas. If all else fails buy a cheap hand held ignitor to start your gas stove. If the cause is a spill which sometimes the problem can persist even after cleaning it may take a while for it to work again. If the problem is with all six burners then your ignitor probably needs replacing. When you hear the ignitor zap check to see if the electronic zap appears to jump across to the edge of the burner. If it doesn't it will not light the flame no matter how many times you try. I hope this helps you.

On a gas 5 burner Jenn-Aire the middle largest burner suddenly will not spark or ignite,; it just clicks

The problem could be that there is a grease film the is prevnting the ignitor from sparking and the metal lid on the burner could be slightly off. Simply clean the burner with a non greasy cleaner and make sure the burner lid is on properly.

Bad ignitor needs replacement

it may just need cleaning at where it sparks to the burner if it is sparking back down the electrode then it is cracked . Some igniters pull out others have a screw that holds them in.

Viking stove ignitor

the continues to click problem, for e it was only when my smaller burner was lit. theo others were ok. When I took the burner apart it was very dirty. I cleaned it up (a wire brush in my drill press) and it works fine now. I think it was just bad electrical conduction.

Clicking noise on cooktop even when all burners ignite

I have a viking gas cooktop. The ignitor on one of my front burners wouldn't stop clicking even after the flame ignited. I swapped that ignitor with the ignitor from a back burner, expecting that the problem was with the ignitor and that the back burner would start to click incessantly, but at least I'd have my favorite front burner for use. Instead, the front burner was then only clicking 50% of the time and the back burner was fine, suggesting the problem was related to the burner not the ignitor. I pulled the front ignitor a bit away from the burner and now it is working normally. Hope this helps.

Replace that ignitor on that burner only. Not drawing enough amps to spark properly.
