Cooktop Burner Not Igniting in St. Augustine, FL
There is no spark at all at that burner while the others on the same manifold light normally — that is the cooktop reporting something specific, not a vague fault. Left alone, this usually escalates from one failed part to several.

Why your cooktop is burner not igniting
The cooktop shows it plainly enough: the igniter clicks steadily but no flame catches, or it lights and drops out again within a few seconds. This is worth booking now rather than next week — it rarely stays this small.
Causes, in the order we check them
- 01A spark electrode that's weakening
- 02Burner ports clogged with residue
- 03A spark module that's failed
- 04A gas valve that isn't opening correctly
Quick checks worth doing
Worth ruling out yourself first: check whether other burners on the same unit fire normally, which narrows it to one burner or the whole unit. Second, confirm the burner ports and igniter are dry and free of spilled residue. To confirm it either way, time how long a full preheat takes now against how long it used to, since a slow preheat precedes a failed element. If none of that changes anything, a gas valve or spark module fault means live gas and ignition components, which is restricted work almost everywhere.
First we test the cooktop end to end, so you're not paying to swap parts on a guess. Each of these presents the same way from the outside, so the diagnosis is what separates them.
What St. Augustine's climate does to a cooktop
Northeast Florida runs hot and humid for a good half of the year, and equipment in St. Augustine carries that load. Salt air is hard on igniters, burner caps, and exposed steel, so corrosion tends to show up sooner here than it does inland. On a St. Augustine job we check for the wear this environment causes, so the fix holds past the next heat wave.

Common questions
Answered before you call.
Is the repair covered by a warranty?
We stand behind the work with an 18-month labor warranty and 90-day parts warranty — a recurrence in that time gets fixed again at no cost.
Are the parts genuine?
We fit OEM parts wherever the repair calls for them. Where a manufacturer part is discontinued we say so, and explain what the alternative is before fitting it.
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.
What does the diagnosis involve?
A technician diagnoses a cooktop that is burner not igniting at component level, confirms the cause by measurement, and walks you through the finding before any part is touched.
