Sparks But Never Catches

You hear steady clicking or see sparking at the burner, but the gas itself never actually lights, sometimes with a faint gas smell that clears once you let go of the knob. A frequent cause is an igniter that's drifted a bit out of its correct position, or an orifice clogged enough to stop the spark reaching the gas stream at all. We clean and realign the igniter first, since that resolves the majority of cases before ever touching the gas valve.

Burner Locked At Maximum

Regardless of where you turn the dial, one burner just keeps blasting at full output, even turned down or fully off. This usually traces to an infinite switch stuck for that particular burner, rather than any actual problem with the coil or element underneath. We confirm the switch is genuinely at fault under real load before replacing it, since the element underneath is almost always still perfectly fine.

Igniter Won't Stop Clicking

A rapid, repetitive clicking continues on without the burner ever actually catching a flame, sometimes lasting well over a minute before you give up. Moisture or accumulated grime inside the igniter module is the common reason, preventing it from delivering a clean, reliable spark. We clean the module thoroughly and test it before considering replacement.

One Element Never Warms Up

A single burner remains stone cold to the touch while every other one on the cooktop heats up completely normally. An internal break somewhere inside that specific coil is the typical explanation, visible once it's removed and examined closely under proper light. We simply swap it directly rather than testing endlessly, since a broken coil element genuinely can't be repaired in place.

Dial Spins Without Catching

The knob turns freely without ever landing solidly on one of the marked settings, no resistance or click at any point. Most often a detent spring has worn out inside the knob itself, with nothing wrong with the burner or gas valve beneath it. It's typically one of the more affordable stove repairs we handle.

Flame Burns Yellow, Not Blue

The flame shows yellow instead of the expected steady blue, or burns unevenly around the ring rather than in a clean, consistent circle. A burner port that's partly clogged is often restricting airflow right there, worth a close look before assuming something bigger is wrong. We clear the ports and retest the flame before recommending a full burner assembly replacement.
