Why won't any of my gas burners spark?
Most common cause on a stove in the GTA: failed spark module (the spark generator that feeds every igniter) (gas-only). A typical repair runs $239–$439 all-in, including the $149.95 diagnostic, credited 100% toward your repair. You can light burners with a match meanwhile (if no gas smell); book at your convenience.

Most stove faults in the GTA come down to a handful of parts — and the majority are worth repairing rather than replacing an appliance that typically lasts 13–15 years. Anthony is a Red Seal certified technician who carries the common stove parts on the van, so most jobs in the GTA are diagnosed and fixed in a single visit.

Common Stove problems & what we check
Tap any problem for the likely causes, what is safe to check yourself, and what it costs.
No spark (igniter failure)$239–$439
No spark (igniter failure): No burner sparks at all (no clicking anywhere), or sparking is weak and erratic across multiple burners (gas range/cooktop only).
Also described as: no spark any burner, igniter dead, no clicking, spark generator failed, all igniters out
Likely causes
- Failed spark module (the spark generator that feeds every igniter) (gas-only) (Most common)
- Moisture or a short in the wiring harness feeding the igniters (gas-only) (Common)
- A stuck igniter switch holding the circuit so the module can't reset between burners (gas-only) (Common)
- No power to the range or a tripped outlet/breaker (the spark needs 120V) (gas-only) (Occasional)
How we diagnose it — in order
- Confirm the range has power: verify it's plugged in and the breaker isn't tripped, and check that the oven controls/light work — a dead clock or oven points to a power/board issue, not the igniters, since the spark module needs 120V to fire any burner.
- Dry out and clean the spark electrodes: after any spill, boilover, or recent cleaning, moisture under the burner cap bleeds spark energy to ground. Lift each cap, let the assembly fully dry (a low oven for ~30 min helps), and lightly scrub the ceramic electrode tip and metal rod clean of grease/food residue, then retest.
- Reseat the burner caps and inspect the spark wires: confirm each cap sits flat and centered over its electrode (a crooked cap kills or weakens the spark), and check the harness from the electrodes back to the module for a wet, loose, chafed, or disconnected connector — common after the range is moved or after a heavy boilover.
- Test the burner switches: with the range unplugged, ohm out the spark-ignition switch behind each knob for continuity when turned — because most ranges share one module, a single shorted/stuck switch can make the whole cooktop spark erratically or continuously, mimicking a module fault. Replace any failed switch.
- Condemn and replace the spark (ignition) module last: only after power, dry/clean electrodes, caps/wiring, and switches all check out — if every burner still fails to spark or sparks weak and white across the board, the shared spark module is the definitive faulty part and gets replaced.
✔ Safe to check yourself
- Confirm the range is plugged in and the outlet/breaker has power — a gas range still needs 120V for the igniters and clock.
- If only some burners spark, dry the cooktop and reseat the caps; whole-cooktop no-spark points to the module.
- You can still light the burners with a long match or lighter while waiting for service if there is no gas smell.
✖ Leave to a technician
- Spark-module and harness replacement is a technician job (mains voltage + gas appliance).
- If you smell gas at any point, don't use a flame — ventilate, shut the burners off, and call a TSSA-certified tech; strong smell, leave and call Enbridge Gas (1-866-763-5427) or 911.

Repair or replace your stove?
A simple rule of thumb: if the repair costs more than half the price of a comparable new unit and the appliance is near the end of its life, replacement may make more sense.
A stove typically lasts – and costs $1,200–$2,500 to replace — so most repairs that come in under about half the replacement cost are worth doing. We'll always tell you honestly when a repair isn't worth your money.
Keep your stove running
Simple habits that prevent the most common the GTA repairs.
- Wipe up boil-overs and spills once the burners or elements have cooled — trapped food clogs gas ports and damages coil receptacles.
- On gas ranges, keep the burner ports and igniter electrodes clean with a pin and a stiff brush so the flame stays crisp and blue.
- Dry the cooktop fully after cleaning and reseat the burner caps and heads squarely — wet or crooked caps cause most no-light and constant-click problems.
- On coil ranges, lift the coils to clean underneath and check the receptacles for heat damage rather than dragging cookware across them.
- On smooth-top and induction cooktops, use flat-bottom cookware (magnetic/ferrous for induction) and a glass-cooktop cleaner — avoid abrasives that scratch the glass.
- Keep the under-cooktop vents and cooling-fan intakes clear on induction units so the power boards don't overheat.
- Replace a cracked or loose control knob early, before the D-shaft rounds off.
- Have a TSSA-certified technician check the burner flames, air-shutter adjustment, and gas connections periodically — keep a working carbon-monoxide alarm in the kitchen area.
