Range Repair Scottsdale

No matter if you’re hosting a family get-together or heating up a small meal, nothing is more frustrating than when your gas range burner won’t light. It’s helpful to rule out simple issues before assuming the worst. Clean your range burners and dry them thoroughly. If that doesn’t work, one of the following may be the cause:

Defective Spark Module

Each surface burner spark electrode receives power from the spark module. It’s possible that if the spark module fails, your range won’t light. The spark ignition switch, on the other hand, is more likely to be faulty. Test the spark ignition switch before replacing the spark module. Consider changing the spark module if the spark ignition switch is working properly.

Spark Ignition Switch and Harness Malfunction

The spark module receives power from the spark ignition switch. When the switch’s electrical contacts close, power is sent to the spark module. The spark ignition switch will send continuous voltage to the spark module if it fails with the electrical contacts closed. Use a multimeter to check for continuity to see if the spark ignition switch is faulty.

Worn Spark Electrode

The spark electrode ignites the gas in the burner assembly by sending a spark. It may not produce a spark or the spark may be too weak to ignite the gas if the part is worn out. When the burner is switched on, the spark electrode will make a clicking sound, but the burner will not light. Replace the spark electrode if it is too worn.

If you find that even when your burner is turned off that the range won’t stop clicking, don’t panic! Your range burners likely need cleaning. However, this simple DIY fix isn’t always the solution, and you may need range repair in Scottsdale to fix one of the following part failures:

Misaligned Burner Cap

It’s possible that the burner cap isn’t in the right position and is messing with the igniter. You can also quickly correct this by realigning the burner cap. Make sure the stove or cooktop is completely cool before removing the burner grate and replacing the burner cap. If that doesn’t fix the problem, then call for a range repair Scottsdale technician.

Spark Module Malfunction

Each surface burner spark electrode receives power from the spark module. It’s possible that if the spark module fails, the burners will keep clicking but won’t light. The spark ignition switch, on the other hand, is more likely to be faulty. Test the spark ignition switch before replacing the spark module. Consider changing the spark module if the spark ignition switch is working properly.

Faulty Igniter

Excess moisture in the area is another common cause of igniters clicking continuously. When the stove or cooktop is turned off, moisture can seep into the area where the igniter is located, causing it to click. Moisture on the switches may also be the source of the problem. However, if you don’t notice any moisture, the igniter may need to be replaced by a Tiger Appliance Repair expert.

A gas ranger burner that continuously sparks can be a bit alarming, but luckily the cause is easy to diagnose. Our experts in the field can quickly pinpoint the issue and get your range back up and running before you even miss it. Here are some of the most common causes for a range burner sparking all the time:

Defective Spark Module

The spark module sends power to each burner’s spark electrode, which help the burners light. If the spark module fails, the burners may keep sparking. However, before assuming this part is at fault, check the spark ignition switch, which is more likely to be at fault. However, consider changing the spark module if the spark ignition switch is working properly.

Faulty Spark Ignition Switch and Harness

If your range burners spark all the time, it’s possible the spark ignition switch is at fault. This part sends continuous voltage to the spark module when it fails, which can cause this annoying problem. Check for continuity using a multimeter to see if the spark ignition switch is at fault. You’ll need to call for a repair technician to professional replace the part.

Spark Ignition Switch Malfunction

The spark module receives power from the spark ignition switch. When the switch’s electrical contacts close, power is sent to the spark module. The spark ignition switch will send continuous voltage to the spark module if it fails with the electrical contacts closed. Use a multimeter to check for continuity to see if the spark ignition switch is faulty.

Electric ranges are easy to use and easy to clean. But when one of the burners stops working, you need to find the cause before your dinner plans are ruined. Regardless if you have a sleek glass top range or a traditional electric range, you may experience this issue. Here are some of the most common causes of an electric range burner not working:

Faulty Surface Element Board

Relays control the power supply to the burners on the surface element board. The surface element won’t work if one or more of the relays fails. The surface element board may be faulty if there is continuity in the surface elements. You can use a multimeter to check for continuity to rule out a faulty element before assuming the board is at fault.

Damaged Coil Surface Element

Double-check that the element is fully seated in the socket. Look for any damage to the surface element and use a multimeter to check for continuity on the surface element. You’ll need to replace any surface elements that do not have continuity or if any surface elements appear damaged. Call for a repair expert if you need help replacing this component.

Incoming Power Problem

It’s possible that the range isn’t getting enough power. Make sure the plug is seated properly in the socket and reset the breakers. If that doesn’t help, you may need to test the voltage. The surface element will not work if the range is receiving substantially less voltage. Use a multimeter to measure the incoming power.
