Litton Gas stove burner won't light
When your Litton gas stove burner won't light, start with the burner cap, then check the ignition system and incoming power. A burner cap that is misaligned on the burner base can prevent the igniter from sparking correctly and may cause an uneven flame, so turn off the gas stove, let the stovetop cool, and reseat the cap. If the cap is positioned correctly, a weak or intermittent spark may point to a defective spark module. Check the spark electrode and spark wire before replacing the module. If none of the burners spark, verify that the electrical outlet has power and check your home's circuit breakers or fuses. When other burners spark but one does not, the spark ignition switch may be faulty. If the switch is not sold separately, replace the spark ignition switch and harness assembly. A worn or defective spark electrode can also click without igniting the gas. Keep the gas supply off while inspecting parts, and enter your Litton gas stove 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 - Litton 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 - Litton 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 - Litton 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 - Litton 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.
