Signs. Likely Causes. Solution.
Signs: Clicking sound but no flame; or silence and no ignition at all.
Likely Causes: Clogged burner ports, faulty igniter, broken spark module, or no gas supply.
Solution: Clean burner heads and ports. Check for gas flow. If igniter doesn’t spark, test and replace igniter or spark module.
Signs: Flame is too low, yellow instead of blue, or uneven across the burner.
Likely Causes: Dirty burner, partially blocked gas orifice, or incorrect air-to-gas ratio.
Solution: Clean burner and orifice. Adjust air shutter if necessary to achieve a steady blue flame.
Signs: Igniter keeps clicking even after burner is lit or when all burners are off.
Likely Causes: Moisture in ignition system, stuck igniter switch, or faulty spark module.
Solution: Dry the igniters, especially after cleaning. If clicking continues, inspect and replace the igniter switch or spark module.
Signs: Smell of gas when burners are off or after use.
Likely Causes: Loose fittings, damaged gas line, or faulty gas valve.
Solution: Turn off the gas supply immediately. Use a gas leak detector spray. Have a licensed technician inspect and repair the system.
Signs: Burner lights but won’t stay on, or goes out while cooking.
Likely Causes: Faulty flame sensor (thermocouple), poor gas flow, or wind from nearby fan.
Solution: Clean or replace the thermocouple. Ensure proper gas pressure and no drafts affecting the flame.
Signs: You turn on one burner, but a different igniter clicks.
Likely Causes: Miswired igniter or faulty spark module.
Solution: Inspect wiring connections. Replace the spark module if misfiring persists.
Signs: Flame is unusually large or noisy.
Likely Causes: Incorrect regulator setting or gas type mismatch (LP vs. natural gas).
Solution: Verify the regulator type and adjust it. Use proper orifices for your gas supply.
Signs: Control knobs won’t rotate or feel jammed.
Likely Causes: Grease buildup, broken valve stem, or misaligned knob.
Solution: Clean around the knobs. Remove and inspect for mechanical wear or damage.
Signs: Surrounding surface becomes very hot during use.
Likely Causes: Poor ventilation, burner misalignment, or prolonged high-heat use.
Solution: Ensure ventilation is working. Check burner assembly alignment and avoid using high heat unnecessarily.
Signs: Strange sounds while cooking.
Likely Causes: Moisture in gas line, improper combustion, or debris in burner.
Solution: Let the gas line dry if recently installed. Clean burner and adjust air shutter for stable combustion.
