Glenwood Gas stove burner won't light
Won’t your Glenwood gas stove burner light? Start with the burner cap. A cap that is misaligned on the burner base can prevent the spark electrode from igniting the gas and may also cause an uneven flame. Turn off the range and let the stovetop cool, then reseat the cap correctly. If the cap is positioned properly, check the spark module, which supplies power to each surface burner spark electrode. A weak or intermittent spark can point to a failing spark module, but inspect the spark electrode and spark wire first. Next, verify that the range is receiving incoming power by testing the electrical outlet and checking the home circuit breakers or fuses. If the other burners spark normally, the affected burner's spark ignition switch may be defective. Depending on the model, you may need a spark ignition switch and harness assembly. A worn or damaged spark electrode can also click without producing a strong enough spark to light the gas. These steps address common gas stove not lighting and gas burner won't light problems. Enter your Glenwood model number to find the exact replacement part for your range.
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 - Glenwood 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.

04 - Glenwood 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 - Glenwood 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 - Glenwood 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.
