Stove burner not igniting — San Francisco, California
A gas stove burner that clicks but won't light — or won't click at all — is one of the most common kitchen appliance issues. Typical causes include food debris or grease clogging the burner ports, a wet or misaligned igniter electrode, a faulty spark module, or a partially closed gas valve. An appliance repair technician can clean the igniter assembly, realign the electrode gap, replace a failing spark module, and verify the gas supply line is delivering proper pressure.
