A KitchenAid gas range with burners that won’t light is a common and frustrating issue. Whether it’s just one burner or all of them, here are some steps to diagnose the problem.
1. Clean the Burner Caps and Heads
Grease and food debris can block the gas flow. Remove the burner caps and heads, soak them in warm, soapy water, and scrub gently with a brush.
2. Check for a Clicking Sound
When you turn the knob, you should hear a clicking sound as the igniter sparks.
- No click: The igniter may be faulty.
- Click but no flame: The gas supply may be blocked or off.
3. Inspect the Gas Line
Ensure the gas valve is fully open. If you smell gas, turn off the supply immediately and call a technician.
4. Test All Burners
If multiple burners are failing, the issue could be with the ignition module or wiring — repairs that should be handled by a professional.
