Why does my gas burner click but not light?
Most common cause on a Frigidaire stove in Toronto: food debris or spilled liquid clogging the burner ports or the igniter gap (gas-only). A typical repair runs $150–$300 all-in, including the $149.95 diagnostic, credited 100% toward your repair. You can cook on the other burners; book promptly, and treat any lingering gas smell as urgent. Book at convenience

Frigidaire stove gas burner clicks but won't light in Toronto — what we check
- First the platform split: on a Frigidaire gas range the 'burner won't light' fault is a COOKTOP spark-ignition job, not the oven's flat glow-bar igniter (that part, 316489403, is the bake igniter and throws no F-code on a dead surface burner). Frigidaire/Electrolux EOC F-codes (F10 runaway, F30/F31 RTD) are oven-side only - a surface burner that clicks but won't catch is a sealed-burner spark-system isolation: electrode, then per-burner switch, then the shared module - and we work it in that order, not by condemning the board.
- One burner clicks but never catches, others light fine: the surface burner igniter electrode 316011200 (PS436633, AP2123862; replaces 5303311262) is cracked or carbon-tracked, so it ticks but the spark is weak or jumping to the grate instead of the burner base. The ceramic insulator hairline-cracks and lets moisture/leakage bleed the spark to ground. We inspect the insulator and the gap to the burner cap and confirm a visible spark in a darkened kitchen before swapping the $20-$40 electrode - a single-position fix that doesn't touch the module.
- The high-output right-front (17K BTU) position is its own part: the surface burner igniter and orifice holder assembly 316536622 (PS2368573, replaces 316449603) combines the electrode AND the brass orifice that meters gas to that burner. A bent holder, a cracked electrode on the assembly, or a clogged orifice all read as 'RF burner clicks, weak/no flame.' We confirm RF-specific behaviour (good light-off on the other burners) before ordering 316536622 rather than the bare electrode.
- One knob position dead - no click, no gas - while the rest light: that's the per-burner spark ignition switch behind the knob (genuine Frigidaire 318163400; the Electrolux-NA equivalent 316032000 carries the Frigidaire-badged sibling number 316032002), not the electrode or module. The switch closes at the 'LITE' position to feed voltage to the spark module; a spill or boil-over runs into it and opens the contact (dead position) or sticks it closed. We meter the switch for continuity - continuity in the OFF position means it's shorted and gets replaced.
- Whole top clicks constantly, even with knobs off, and nothing lights cleanly: that's almost always a wet or shorted spark ignition switch (318163400 / Electrolux-NA 316032000 / Frigidaire-badged 316032002), not a failed module. A boil-over or humid kitchen shorts the switch contacts closed, so it feeds continuous voltage to the spark module and steals spark energy from light-off. Per Frigidaire/RepairClinic guidance we unplug the range and dry it 24h (or low-heat blow-dryer around the knobs), then re-test - a $0 dry-out beats a needless module on a same-day call.
- Every burner clicks but none light, switches and electrodes test clean: now it's the shared surface burner spark module 316135702 (genuine Frigidaire; replaces 316135701, PS2350722; supplied as 5304505695). One module pulses every electrode, so a true module failure is all-or-nothing across the cooktop. RepairClinic publishes this exact part for the 'Frigidaire stove burner won't ignite' pattern - but we condemn it LAST, only after the electrode (316011200) and the switches (318163400) check out, because most 'dead module' calls are really moisture in a switch.
- Sparks strong but burner never establishes flame: this is gas-delivery, not electrical. Frigidaire's own support (article 1847383) names clogged ports/orifice and an off-seated or missing burner cap as primary no-light causes. We clear the ports with a pin (without enlarging them), confirm the cap rests level on the burner head, and verify the range is configured for the gas it's connected to (NG jets vs an LP-converted unit) before quoting any electrode or module - many no-flame calls resolve here with no parts.
Frigidaire gas burner clicks but won't light in Toronto — the local specifics
- The recurring Frigidaire-in-Toronto pattern on this fault is the constant-clicking cooktop after a boil-over or in a humid kitchen - a shorted spark ignition switch (318163400 / 316032002) feeding the module continuously, not a failed 316135702 module. The second recurring pattern is a single cracked 316011200 electrode on one position (often the heavily-used front-left) while the rest light fine. We see far more switch-and-electrode jobs than module jobs, which is why we dry and isolate before quoting the expensive shared part.
- We carry to these calls: the 316011200 surface igniter electrode, the spark ignition switch (Frigidaire-badged 318163400/316032002, Electrolux-badged 316032000), and the 316135702 surface spark module; the 316536622 RF (17K) igniter/orifice assembly is model-coded so we confirm by model/serial and pull it next-day if the right-front high-output burner is the dead one.
