One burner on my Locust gas cooktop will not light. Is it the igniter?

Possibly, or the burner cap may be out of position or the ports clogged. Dry and reseat the cap first. If it still will not light, we test the igniter and spark module.

Burners, elements and planning the trip

On a propane or natural gas cooktop, the usual troubles are burners that will not light, light weakly or keep clicking, caused by wet or dirty igniters, misaligned caps or a failing spark module. Glass-top electric cooktops lose individual elements or switches, and induction boards can be damaged by storm surges. A cracked glass top should not be used until it is replaced, since spills can reach the wiring underneath.

Dry and reseat burner caps, check the breaker and confirm the propane tank has fuel. If you smell gas, shut it off, leave and call your supplier or 911. Sharing the model number when you book helps, since visits here may fall on route days and we want to arrive with the likely part. We give you the price before any repair, and we tell you if a discontinued part makes replacement the better path.

Before You Book: Cooktop Checks

Safe first steps for the most urgent cooktop problems, and when to leave it to a technician.

Gas SmellSafety: Don't try to find the leak yourself: leave the home without switching anything on or off, and call the gas utility or 911 from outside.
Gas Valve FailureSafety: Don't take a gas valve apart or lubricate it yourself; turn the cooktop's gas shutoff off if you can reach it safely and call us.
Burner Won't Turn OffSafety: Turn off the breaker for an electric cooktop, or close the gas shutoff if you can reach it safely, and don't use the cooktop until it's repaired.
Gas Smell Without FlameSafety: Turn the knob off if it's right in front of you, don't try to relight it or flip any switches, and leave the home and call the gas utility if the smell is strong or lingers.

Symptoms, causes and repair-or-replace advice for every type of cooktop are in our complete cooktop repair guide.
