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
- 01A spark module that's failed
- 02A gas valve that isn't opening correctly
- 03An igniter that's dirty or damp
- 04Loose wiring at the igniter
Quick checks worth doing
There's a two-minute check worth doing first: confirm the burner ports and igniter are dry and free of spilled residue. Alongside that, check whether other burners on the same unit fire normally, which narrows it to one burner or the whole unit. If you want a firmer read on it, 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.
The visit starts with measurements, not guesses — the cooktop gets tested before any part is named. Each of these presents the same way from the outside, so the diagnosis is what separates them.
What St. Johns's climate does to a cooktop
Ask a St. Johns technician what shortens a cooktop's service life here, and heat and humidity top the list. Morning humidity can slow an igniter's spark, and the constant heat-cycling here wears steadily on door seals, elements, and control boards. So on a St. Johns repair we don't stop at the failed part — we check what the climate is quietly wearing down next.

Common questions
Answered before you call.
What if the same issue comes back?
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.
When is a replacement the better call?
Yes. Some failures cost more to put right than the remaining life of the unit justifies, and a technician who has just measured the fault is the person best placed to tell you which case you are in.
What happens when a technician arrives?
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.
Where do the replacement parts come from?
OEM wherever the repair calls for it. If a part is no longer produced for your model, you hear that up front rather than after the invoice.
