Gas Stove Won’t Ignite

What this symptom can mean

Ignition trouble can involve moisture, debris, igniters, gas supply, switches, wiring, or controls.

Safe checks

If you smell gas, stop using the appliance and follow appropriate gas-safety guidance.

Information worth noting

Write down when the symptom began, whether it is constant or intermittent, any error code, unusual sound or odor, and whether the appliance still completes part of its normal function.

When to request repair help

If safe first checks do not resolve the issue, the problem repeats, or electrical, gas, water, heat, or mechanical risks are involved, professional diagnosis may be appropriate.
