Hi,Here is a tip that I wrote to give details about why your cooktop will notspark to light the burners..Cooktop Range Stove spark ignition does not workheatman101

I just had the same happen, I called the technician. He just sprayed WD-40 on the shaft and with a pair of pliers went up down and turn (spray,spray) until it started working again, well that was 60$ I hope it helps someone

You don't have the right Gas to Air ratio..... Not enough air to the burners or you are running to low of gas pressure for propane... Propane takes a smaller orfice or operate than Natural Gas.....
You should have 10" of WC for Propane operation..
You will need a manometer to check it.
The flame should be a blue color with no yellow in it. There should be air shutters right at the orfice to each burners. You will have to play with the adjustment to get the best blue flame with no yellow in the flame.... Hope this helps.....

The only two things you can do are pull the core of the oven thermostat and re-grease it, but that could throw your temperature calibration way off. The other is to replace the thermostat. Either way, a calibration is probably a good idea.

Hi, 8000 btu is a medium size burner, simmer burners are around 4000 btu, The largest are around 12000.

There has got to be an interlock that is actuated by inserting the grill into the cooktop. That interlock switch or sensor is probably stuck closed and still is sending the signal to the stove that the grill is being operated, not the burner cartridge. Pull the burners out, insert the grill back into the cooktop a few times feeling for interference or something not seating right. When you find the interlock or sensor, inspect it to see if it is hung up, clean it, adjust it, or tap it lightly. If the switch/sensor is operating properly, reinsert the burners, make sure the fan is turned off, and operate them, checking to see if the fan is now off. If not, there is either a faulty sensor or a fault in the signal line to the control board or in the board itself. But a hung up interlock is what I would be looking for first. Good luck.

they will all click when lighting,
if this is happening after ignition, turn your flame just a bit higher, your loosing flame ground

there is a chaffing problem on this unit on the left side of control remove nobs remove the cover and inspect for chaffed wires or oone that has come out of the ignitor

your problem is in the potentometer switch. This is the switch that adjusts the temp inside the oven the beeping is informing you of the problem. A service tech would be required due to the complexity of the switch, it's location , and the overall adjustment needed to the switch. Good luck on the repairs hope this helped.
