Inglis Gas stove burner won't light

If your Inglis gas stove burner won't light, start with the simplest cause: a burner cap that is not seated correctly on the burner base. Turn off the range and let the cooktop cool, then reposition the cap. If the gas stove is clicking but not lighting, check whether the other burners spark. A weak or intermittent spark can point to a failing spark module, but inspect the spark electrode and spark wire before replacing it. If none of the burners spark, check for an incoming power problem by testing the electrical outlet and resetting the circuit breaker or replacing a blown fuse. When only one burner has no spark, the spark ignition switch, or the spark ignition switch and harness assembly, may be defective. A worn or damaged spark electrode can also click without producing a strong enough spark to ignite the gas. Keep the burner ports and electrode area clean, and never test for a gas leak with a flame. Enter your Inglis range model number to find the exact replacement spark module, ignition switch, harness, or spark electrode for your gas stove.

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 - Inglis 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 - Inglis 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 - Inglis 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 - Inglis 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.
