My 6 burner, 48" monogram cooktop just developed a problem after 2 years. The burners all work fine, but one of them lights and the igniter keeps sparking. All other 5 work properly. Is there some sort of sensor or thermocouple which is supposed to sense heat for individual burners? Can I fix it or is it a job only the service people can handle? [email protected]
Be sure all caps are on correctly, then make sure the igniter is clean. Try using a tooth brush with soft scrub around the igniter, rinse, dry and try it
always unplug electricity before attempting to repair on any electrical appliance

Under each gas control is a switch that will turn on the spark module when rotated to the light position. One or more of these switches has failed. Some models these switches are individually replaceable, others the switch is an assembly of all four.

had same problem. Used fine sandpaper on the little head (just above the white ceramic) that creates the spark. over the years the edges of the littel metal ring had gummed up but a 1 min sanding got it down to shinny metal and it sparked nicely.

If you're not getting the ignitor sparking (you should hear it) when you turn the burner knob on for that burner, it could be that either the ignitor is dirty or caked with some gunk and needs to be cleaned.
The other issue could be that the ignitor is faulty and needs to be replaced. If you want to confirm a faulty ignitor before ordering a new one, you can swap it out with one of the other ignitors on the cook top. Be sure to unplug the cook top from the outlet thou, to prevent getting a shock, as those little sparkers can give you a pretty good jolt!
Just remove the grates and burners to get at the ignitor for cleaning it. To get at the ignitor, youll need to go under the cabinet or counter that the cooktop is installed on in order to remove the ignitor and swap it with one of the other ones. You'll see that these are held in place with a retaining clip you can remove with a flat bladed screwdriver, etc.
If you find that the one that isn't working is faulty, you can order one from your local appliance service store, or get one online. www.searspartsdirect.com lists parts for almost every appliance there is, just enter in the full model number to get a parts list, etc.
Hope you find this Very Helpful and best regards!
Testimonial: "I was able to confirm that the igniter was not dirty. It looks like I'll have to pull the oven out to access the underside of the cooktop to complete."

My burners used to have the same problem: buzz sound and ignitor clicking. I think you hhave better ask a tech come in to check on it and to fix the problem. I ignored it and then finally it stop but the whole range has to spend big money to replace part. At the end we decided to replaced the whole burners. It won't cost much for the Sears Tech come into check or work on it.
