Burners Do Not Start
Hand on burners
The Burners Do Not Start
There are several solutions for this problem:
The main gas supply may not be turned on. Make sure it is turned on.
Check the power supply and make sure the unit is plugged in and the circuit breaker has not tripped.
Make sure the burners are properly positioned.
The igniters may be dirty. Carefully wipe the igniters with a cotton swab dampened with water after they have cooled down. Gently scrape the soil off with a toothpick. Avoid exposing the igniters to excessive water as a damp igniter may not light up. Remove any lint that may remain after cleaning.
The ignition will be quicker if a cooking pan is on the grate. Ignite the gas at full and once alight, turn it down to around 50%. It should lock on within 6 seconds.
Does the burner click when the burner knob is in the ON position? If yes, you may have a wiring issue at the outlet that the appliance is connected to. Turn off the main gas supply and contact a qualified electrician to fix this.
Does the burner click when the burner knob is in the OFF position? If yes, check for the following:
1. Check to see if the burner cap is properly placed and the igniter is not wet or dirty.
2. Check to see if the regulator supplied with the unit is installed properly. The arrow on the regulator should be pointing to the appliance. Please call a professional installer
First of all, you need to test the wiring to that burner. If there is no electricity, then you need to replace the plug in. You can get them at an Appliance parts store. If there is electricity, then all you need to do is get a new burner at Lowes or Home Depot. Sometimes the burner gets a tiny crack in the burner that breaks the continuity.
If none of your burners are igniting, you need a new Spark Module. If only 1 or 2 of your burners are not igniting, you may need a Spark Igniter. Click on the pictures below for a larger image.
The Spark Module is number 318 in the following diagram (underneath the burners): The Spark Igniter is number 154 in the following diagram:
It seems like one of your burners is clogged. You made need to use some oen cleaner and a small toothbrush to clean the burner. If the problem occurs with all the burners, then you have a blockage in the gas supply line. you willm have to take it apart at the stove and clear it out. Check the main gas connection and at the burner(s) to spot the debris clogging. Make sure to shut your gas valve off behind the stove. Good luck... hope this helps.
These burners are not supposed to be operated uncovered. If indeed the burner is covered and it is still causing the controls to burn than the resistance for that burner is failing and the burner should be replaced. Thank you, Dana
I have a JEC9536ADB electric Jenn-Air Cooktop. We replaced the class top and now the knobs are all spliting and won't work. 2 of the main burners will only heat in the "high" position? What do I need to replace?
the infamous "custom control kit" its an electronic board that only control that one precision temp burner all other elements ar regular switches, if thats the one where the sound os coming form replace the control. .nothing else to do
