Electrolux Gas stove burner won't light

An Electrolux gas stove burner that won't light is usually caused by a burner cap that is not seated correctly. Turn off the gas stove and let the stovetop cool, then make sure the cap sits evenly on the burner base. If the cap is positioned correctly, the spark module is the next likely cause, especially when the burner produces a weak or intermittent spark. Check the spark electrode and spark wire before replacing the spark module. An incoming power problem can also prevent the ignition system from working, so test the outlet and check the circuit breakers or fuses. If other burners spark normally, a faulty spark ignition switch or spark ignition switch and harness may be stopping that burner from receiving voltage. Finally, a worn or defective spark electrode can cause clicking without ignition. These checks address common gas stove not lighting and gas stove clicking but not lighting problems. Enter your Electrolux range, stove, or oven model number to find the exact replacement spark module, ignition switch, harness, or spark electrode for your appliance.

01 - Burner cap not on correctly

If the burner cap is misaligned on the burner base the igniter may not spark properly, and the burner flame will be uneven. Confirm the appliance is turned off and the stovetop is cool to the touch, then readjust the burner cap, if necessary, so it is seated properly on the burner base.

02 - Electrolux Range/Stove/Oven Spark Module

The spark modules provides power to each surface burner spark electrode. If the burner is produces a weak spark, or if the burner sparks intermittently, the spark module might be defective. Before replacing the spark module, first check the spark electrode and the spark wire. If the spark electrode and spark wire are not at fault, the spark module is likely defective. If the spark module is defective, replace it.

03 - Incoming Power Problem

The electrical outlet may not be getting power. To determine if the outlet is getting power, try plugging something else into the outlet. If the outlet is not getting power, check the home circuit breakers or fuses.

04 - Electrolux Range/Stove/Oven Spark Ignition Switch

When the burner is turned on, the spark ignition switch sends voltage to the spark module to produce a spark. If the spark ignition switch is defective, it won't send voltage to the spark module, and the burner won't be able to produce a spark. If your range's burner isn't sparking, check to see if the other burners are sparking properly. If the other burners are sparking properly, the spark ignition switch is likely defective.

05 - Electrolux Range/Stove/Oven Spark Ignition Switch and Harness

When the burner is turned on, the spark ignition switch sends voltage to the spark module to produce a spark. If the spark ignition switch is defective, it won't send voltage to the spark module, and the burner won't be able to produce a spark. If your range's burner isn't sparking, check to see if the other burners are sparking properly. If the other burners are sparking properly, the spark ignition switch is likely defective. If the spark ignition switch is not sold separately, you will have to purchase the switch and harness assembly.

06 - Electrolux Range/Stove/Oven Spark Electrode

The spark electrode sends a spark to ignite the gas in the burner assembly. If the spark electrode is defective or worn out, it might not produce a spark, or the spark might be too weak to ignite the gas. As a result, the spark electrode will make a clicking sound when the burner is turned on, but the burner won't light. If the spark electrode is defective, replace it.
