Why your cooktop is burner not igniting
The igniter clicks steadily but no flame catches, or it lights and drops out again within a few seconds on the cooktop.
Causes, in the order we check them
- 01Loose wiring at the igniter
- 02A spark module that's failed
- 03Burner ports clogged with residue
- 04A spark electrode that's weakening
Quick checks worth doing
The one self-check actually worth your time: check whether other burners on the same unit fire normally, which narrows it to one burner or the whole unit. And confirm the burner ports and igniter are dry and free of spilled residue. The measurement worth taking: put an oven thermometer on the middle rack, preheat fully, and read the difference against the dial. Should that not resolve it, if it still won't spark, the igniter, spark module, or gas valve is at fault, and gas components aren't homeowner-legal work in most areas.
Our technician runs a full sealed-system and control diagnostic on your cooktop before quoting anything. The fault is confirmed by measurement before anything is replaced, so the repair addresses the cause rather than the symptom.
What Jacksonville's climate does to a cooktop
Year-round warmth and humidity make Jacksonville a harder-than-average climate on a cooktop, spec sheet aside. Morning humidity can slow an igniter's spark, and the constant heat-cycling here wears steadily on door seals, elements, and control boards. On any Jacksonville job we look at what the climate has been doing as well as what actually failed.

Common questions
Answered before you call.
How does the visit work?
The technician confirms the fault on the unit itself — readings taken, not assumed — then explains what failed, why, and what the repair involves before anything is replaced.
Will you tell me if it is not worth fixing?
We will say so. If the failure is one that takes a unit past sensible repair — a failed sealed system on an old cabinet, say — you get that assessment rather than a part you would replace again next year.
Are the parts genuine?
Genuine parts where the repair calls for them — and an honest answer when a component is discontinued and the only route is an equivalent.
Is the repair covered by a warranty?
You're covered by our 18-month labor warranty and 90-day parts warranty. If the same fault recurs in that period, the follow-up visit is free.
