I have ge monogram gas cooktop. It is getting gas but the igniter is not clicking and lights not turning on. Thought it was power issue but ran extension cord to outlet that was working and still no go. What do I do?

I thought my 1972 GE was old! You need to have it serviced by an elderly gas appliance technician. The pilot jets and thermocouples and hoods can be cleaned by you, but nothing else. It also needs testing for the gas pressure in your house, using an old liquid manometer and adjusting accordingly..

It needs the capacitor and magnetron replaced. there could be more issues like a burned wire so have a look while the cabinet is open

Hi,

Here is a tip that I wrote that will help figure out why the burner spark keeps on clicking...

Hi,

Here is a tip that I wrote to give details about why your cooktop will not spark to light the burners..

Cooktop Range Stove spark ignition does not work

What happens in this style ignition system is that the thermostat or electronic control switches power to the oven ignitor and gas valve circuit which are connected in series (one after the other). As power flows through the ignitor it heats and draws current (measured in amperage). Once the oven ignitor draws a specific amount of current the oven valve opens to allow gas to flow to the oven burner where the glowing hot ignitor (glow bar) ignites it. Power must continually flow through the ignitor and oven gas valve for gas to be released into the oven burner to create a flame. Once the set temperature is achieved the control stops all power to the ignition circuit which causes the ignitor to dim and the oven gas valve to close, stopping any burner flame. Cycling on and off continues to maintain the specific temperature the control is set for.

if anything like my own it is the led blub thats blowen - major hasel to change out - get some one who knows these cookers/ovens...

Just checked the GE website. Had the same problem with my 5 year old microwave. GE website says to close and open the door quickly three times. First time I did this it didn't work. Second time I closed the door with some significant force and reopened it more quickly. Worked. Unplugged the microwave, plugged it back in, still fine.

I would suspect a couple of wires are crossed.

GE puts mini-manuals in their units, which have wiring diagrams, schematics, etc. Very handy.

It will be folded up in a small envelope, usually behind the control panel or hidden elsewhere. That should help you.
