Stove ignition switch gas burner will not light: What to Check and What to Do Next
A gas stove burner that will not light may have no spark from the ignition switch, lost appliance power, a knob that is not reaching the Lite or Ignite position, a wet or dirty burner, a misplaced cap or head, blocked ports, a closed gas supply, or a failed ignition or gas-control part. Turn the knob back to OFF promptly; do not keep releasing gas while waiting for a spark.
