Counter top stove burner won't light

if they work and light your stove then leave them alone,

on most, your push down and turn to hi to open gas valve and turn on piezio to light burner. it sounds like you have a knob already turned on . the control under the knob may need replacing. kinda an easy replacement if you get new part. check out repairclinic.com for video(maybe) but for parts for sure. be careful. gas is explosive.

You have probably accidentally disconnected some wiring whilst moving it need to re explore

Hi, sometimes cooking spills stop the ignitor from working. Clean the cook top thoroughly and try it again. Spills can also make the ignitor go off randomly when you are not operating your cooker. Check if the ignition point where the zap comes from is not turned or bent too far from its original position. If you have a gas shut off make sure it is fully open to supply enough gas. If all else fails buy a cheap hand held ignitor to start your gas stove. If the cause is a spill which sometimes the problem can persist even after cleaning it may take a while for it to work again. If the problem is with all six burners then your ignitor probably needs replacing. When you hear the ignitor zap check to see if the electronic zap appears to jump across to the edge of the burner. If it doesn't it will not light the flame no matter how many times you try. I hope this helps you.

Wow this problem sounds exactly like my landlords problem only he is just now saying he is learning of the problem. You even have the age of the stove correct.

REDS ARE THE 2 HOT 11O VOLTS EACH AND BLACK IS THE COMMON FROM THE CIRCUIT BOX .THE RED ON THE STOVE SHOULD BE 1 HOT AND THE GRAY MAY BE THE COMMON BUT YOU ARE MISSING A HOT LOOK FOR YOUR WIRING DIAGRAM ON THE STOVE AND IT WILL SHOW YOU THE COLOR CODES FOR WIRING IF YOU CANT FIND IT SEND ME THE MODEL NUMBER AND I WILL SEE IF I CAN GET IT FOR YA.......BILL

1. make sure the gas is turned on.
2. Make sure unit is pluged in.
3 make sure all burner and burner caps are aligned.

If you hear a spark and you small gas it should light.

Make sure the burner heads are not clogged.

If this top has pilot lights make sure the pilots are lit

Follow the wire, It should go to a junction box within 4 feet. It may be behind a cabinet. Remove the box cover and unscrew the wire nuts. It usually uses armored wire and this is clamped to the box. Release the clamp . Turn off breaker or remove the 2 fuses first.
