Likely causes
When we get a call about a gas stove burner will not light but clicks, these are the things our technicians check first — roughly in the order of how often each one turns out to be the answer:
- Clogged burner ports from spilled food, or a burner cap seated incorrectly after cleaning
- Wet or dirty spark electrode bridging and preventing a clean spark
- Failed spark module, when every burner clicks and none light
- Failed burner switch sticking closed and keeping the sparker running
- On electric cooktops, a failed radiant element or infinite switch
How we fix it
We diagnose before we quote. That means testing the actual components involved — motors, switches, sensors, valves, and controls — instead of replacing parts in sequence and billing you for the guesses. Once we know what failed, you get the price before we touch anything.
Most cooktop repairs of this kind are completed in a single visit, because the parts that cause them are the parts we stock on the van. If yours needs something ordered, we tell you the real timeline up front.
