You will need to change the Igniter. There are at least 2 igniters that operate with one knob. Some units all 4 igniters operate with one knob. The clicking you hear is the other Igniter or Igniters clicking. The Igniter for the burner that does not light has failed.

The model number you passed is missing some numbers JGP628 should be like this JGP628BEC1BB or this JGP628WEK1WW

The Igniters are NOT all the same:

AP 3191250

or...

AP3779012 (No image)

http://www.appliancepartspros.com/part_details.aspx?part_id=3779012&rdr=%2fpartsearch%2fmodel.aspx%3fmodel_id%3d5213362

It can even be a wire to the electrode / igniter that has found a chassis ground inside the cooktop.

When you have a complete model number go to this page and choose your model number:

http://www.appliancepartspros.com/partsearch/modelsearch.aspx?model=JGP628

The item you may need is item 154 of the cooktop.

Thanks for using FixYa!

Why want middle burner light automatically but will light with a lighter

That unit is suppose to have electronic quartz igniters. Apparently there's a problem but it doesn't automatically mean the igniter needs to be replaced. If you see a spark from the igniter then it's fine. If you see a spark but no flame then the ignition process is out of synchronization. In other words, the gas hasn't concentrated near the spark enough to ignite. This may be a matter of low gas pressure or the extra length the gas needs to flow to reach the center burner is impeding ignition. Simple fix is turn the knob just enough to start the gas for 2 seconds then continue the turn to click the igniter. or simply use a match. You may also see if there are any adjustments on the gas manifold that will enhance bringing more gas to the center burner quicker. Some unit have one click & that's it, others click the igniter continuously until you release turning the knob. Good luck. you'll figure it out.

My cooktop has electric ignition that "clicks"

Take a q-tip and clean under where it clicks. Might have food or grease covering release hole.

The igniter on the right front burner of my GE Gas cooktop does not work....I must use a lighter or match to ignite....What can I do? There is no clicking sound when I turn on the burner?

the very first thing i would do here is to check the ignitor itself
under the head cap you should see two screws, once those are out you will be able to lift the burner plate, lift the burner plate, you will see, or should see the ignitor, and the wire.
i check this for voltage by unplugging the ignitor and olding the wire close to a ground, the metal body is good. Turn on the ignitor, becareful it is live. yhou shgould see a spark comming from the wire
if not check to make sure that wire is in position and on the spark module
if you do see a spark this way, just order the replacement ignitor
and install it when it arrives

all burner igniters work at the same time - you may have a faulty electronic spark unit. change the spark unit. go to repair clinic dot come for the unit. also would be wise to check the ingniter start switch on the gas burner control knob

Does not ignite

Check to make sure that the gas is getting to the igniter. If you can ignite with a lighter or match, than the igniter itself needs to be replaced.

If I'm not mistaken, these dacor cooktops have an automatic re-ignition (meaning if the flame goes out, it will just relight it without you having to do it) If none of your burners will light, you probably have a bad spark ignition module. These are somewhat hard to change, as you have to take all the burners off and disconnect the spark wires and take the whole top of the cooktop off to get to the inner workings. Also, to get these burner bases off it takes a special tool by dacor, AND you usually have to replace all the burner seals once you take them apart.Your other, simpler option is to unplug the cooktop and plug a lamp or something in to the outlet the cooktop is using, just to make sure you have power. Just cause the breaker doesn't look like it's tripped, doesn't mean it isn't bad and the outlet is dead. Hope this helps!
