- Burner clicking but won’t light? I’ll show you how to fix a gas stove top burner that clicks but won't light on a GE stove. If the burner just keeps clicking when you turn it on, the burner spark igniter or burner base is impeded by grease and gunk or the spark igniter electrode is bad and needs to be replaced. My stove is a GE XL44.

Few years back I asked a so called "electrician/plumber" for help to fix my GE Profile stove igniter and his response was "just replace it" when it wasn't not even 7 years old. You are an excellent teacher. ❤ and now I'm a new follower.😊
Hi Ana! Thank you and welcome to the channel. Yep, if a contractor, service provider, mechanic or the like can't clearly, and with specification, explain why you should replace something, I wouldn't do it. Most things can be fixed and work just fine. I encourage you, and others, to fix stuff yourself and save your hard-earned money. ;)
I love it when a “how to” video comes along and then someone inevitably uses the comment section to show how much they know about the job. Rather than make a video themselves they steal the show. That being said;
This is a perfectly informative video, without the other “ in my experience” comments. Thank you! Good job lady.
Sky King, thank you for your thoughtful and kind words. Happy DIYing!
That's interesting. I often appreciate others' comments on technical and DIY videos. They're not always correct, but they often have good tips, additional considerations, etc. Also, channels with solid technical content--like this one--often seem to attract fairly knowledgeable, constructive viewers, so the tone is typically more constructive and congenial than in much of the rest of TH-cam... that is, "in my experience." ;)
Your step by step detail and excellent camera angles showing exactly what to do to repair the issue is amazing. And your info on protecting every single part worked on is exceptional. I never imagined I could fix the issue on my own. Thank you for all you taught this senior lady in the repair of my gas stove.
Carolyn, bless your heart for leaving such a thoughtful and kind comment. I truly appreciate that you took the time to do that. I'm glad you found the video useful. ;)
@@frugaldiy1 Thank you Frugal DIY. You deserved every kind word and then some . I cooked my first meal on my self repaired gas stove for hubby and me. I felt like a cave woman who discovered how to make her first fire to cook for her family. Not boasting just very happy for a victory at this age.
And what a victory you had! That's just wonderful to hear. You go GIRL!
This is one of the most helpful videos on TH-cam. I am usually hesitant to work on anything involving gas, but you demonstrated how easy it is. I thought I had to live with one less burner. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words, ABQ NM. I'm glad the video helped you fix your stove burner.
Hi. My GE gas stove was clicking but not lighting. With the exception of using a different solvent to clean with I did exactly as shown in the video and sanded the 4 igniters as none of them were lighting as of today. Whole process took 10-15 minutes. It worked perfectly and all 4 burners lit up on the first try and the previous continuous clicking of the igniters was handled as well. Thanks for the video. I look forward to having my eggs for breakfast!
Jason, wonderful news, and you're welcome. I'm glad you had success. Enjoy your eggs!
Thank you! The base hole was clogged for me, I’d never have known to check without this tutorial. My stove is working beautifully now!
You're welcome, Jenny, and job well done! I'm so glad to hear the video helped you. Happy DIYing!
I have not had the use of my front gas burner for 8 months!!!! This just showed me how to fix it is 8 minutes !! THANK YOU THANK YOU!
You're welcome. ;)
Just wanted to thank you for for a superbly demonstrating video for repairing and replacing an igniter. You make it look easy, which it is, but by you explaining carefully why each step gets performed you allow the viewer to gain understanding for the actions needed. A delightful presentation!
Jan, thank you! That's one of the nicest and most thoughtful comments I've ever received. I hope you have a peaceful and joyous holiday season.
None of my top burners are coming on and neither the over or broiler. I hear the ticking sounds and see the sparks in all four burners and the oven. I've clean out the burners still nothing is coming on
@@rosalindkennedy7377 The first thing that occurs to me is if you have a gas supply problem. Have you attempted to turn one of the gas burners on and light it with a match?
Great Vid!
You're clear, concise, informative, a great teacher.
PS I use a paper clip to clear the hole when don't have a toothpick.
Great tip, James! And, thank you for your kind words. Happy Thanksgiving to your and your loved ones.
This is wonderful.
Exactly what I needed, the attention to detail, perfect.
Thank you.
Aah, Rob, what a nice comment to leave for me. I can't thank you enough for your kind words.
They mean a great deal to me. Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones.
Brilliant! Now my burners turn on instantly!!! Thanks a million! 😃😉
You're welcome, Jo. Thank you for taking the time to leave such a nice comment. Happy DIYing!
Wow, you are awesome. I fixed a dryer from watching a TH-cam video. I have a burner that doesn’t light on my gas stove and will be checking this out after Thanksgiving. Thanks so much! I come from a long line of do it yourself women in my family! I’ve got this! 😀💕
Holly, I'm thrilled to hear you're a fellow DIYer. Yep, you've got this!
Thank you for this valuable demonstration. Now I know what to do to make my gas stove functional again.
You're welcome, Raji. I'm glad the video helps you.
@@frugaldiy1 🥰
The way you explain things is just amazing
Thank you, EleeB. That's so kind of you to say. ;)
EXCELLENT video!!! Just bought one from FB marketplace and one burner was not igniting. This video is a life saver, thank you!!!
You're welcome, Loose Screws. I'm glad the video helped you. Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones.
You are an excellent teacher! I just bought a brand new stove and one burner isn’t producing flame so I don’t think it’s blocked or anything. However this was very interesting and took the daunting steps and made them easy to follow for a lay person. Excellent
SimpleNClassy1, thank you for your kinds words and for taking the time to write them. It means a lot to me--truly. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Nicely done! Thanks for making this instructional video.
You're welcome, Stanley, and thank you for the kind words. Happy DIYing!
Excellent video. The second half was especially useful. It takes away the fear of attempting these repairs 👍
Thank you for such a nice comment, colandgran. There's nothing to fear. Just unplug the stove and turn off the gas supply, and it should all go well. I'm rooting for you. :)
@@frugaldiy1 cheers 😀🏴
From my experience the first thing to check is the cap since the cap is on loose sometimes after cleaning the cap is put on with the wrong side down try flipping the cap back on with the opposite side down the correct side down has a swirling engraved pattern that guides the gas so gas exits burner correctly if you hear the popping sound that means electric sparker is working also if unsure turn off lights in kitchen in the darkness you will be able to see the spark if unsure clean the sparker with 90 percent rubbing alcohol it's cheaper this should solve 95 percent of your problems I liked this video good job
Great video. I'm now a subscriber. Everything was not only explained in an easy-to-understand manner, but the camera angles were great. It really showed everything. Thanks.
Jim, you're welcome! Thank you for your thoughtful and kind words. They mean a lot to me. Happy DIYing!
You are the BEST thank you!!! I've used your video help so many times!!!
Oh, Susan, that's so kind and thoughtful of you to say. Thank you! I'm thrilled to hear another woman is enjoying DIYing, like I do. Happy DIYing!
Same issue with one burner not lighting. Going to try this DIY fix. Thank you for the awesome instructions. Great help. 🙂
Excellent video. Was a simple fix of cleaning and lightly sanding the igniter to get it working. You ROCK!
Thank you, Mr Balloon, for taking the time to leave such a nice comment.
My front burner would sometimes click and not light, then other times it would light. When it did not light I would just use a match to light the burner. This how to repair is exactly what been looking for. This is the best stove repair video ever. Thanks.
You're welcome, Arlene, and thank you for your kind words. I'm glad my video is helpful to you. Happy DIYing!
How in the world did TH-cam know I just had an ignitor go out? I don't know, but here you are now with this very well made video just recommended to me. Subscribed!
Thank you, Conan. Welcome to the channel.

Excellent, instructional video. I have a HotPoint, looks very similar. I will save this video, for future use. Thank you so much.
You're welcome, ABC XYZ. Thank you for the kind words. FYI--I LOVE Hotpoint appliances. I have an old-school Hotpoint refrigerator, and she's a stalwart. :) Happy DIYing!
Excellent explanation, very thorough and thoughtful - thank you!
And thank you, Sergei, for your thoughtful and kind words. I appreciate that you took the time to write them. Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones.
Thank You for the instructions. I really am surprise at the ease the way you did that.
You're certainly welcome, Terry, and thank you for your kind words. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones.
Started first with the clean and tested it. Worked! Thank you!
You're welcome, Bob. Great job and happy DIYing!
Random video popped up on my feed. I've had a bad igniter for 10 years. I never fixed it because I rarely use all 4 burners. Been dreading calling a tech to fix it for years. Hole was clogged and the igniter was dirty. Now it works. Thanks
Randy, that's truly wonderful to hear. I'm glad the video helped you. Merry Christmas to you and loved ones.
Very helpful. I have a similar model with the same issue. By following your procedures, I have fixed the stoves that now function like new. Thanks. Happy Thanksgiving!
Great to hear, Jack. I'm so happy you were able to fix your stove. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones, too!
Actually worked, I “super” cleaned my stove top and the front burner quit igniting. Just had to replace the oven igniter and my husband did a fine job on that also.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! SAVED ME A LOT OF MONEY. MY LARGE BURNER KEPT CLICKING BUT NO FLAME. WORKS PERFECTLY NOW!
You're welcome, you're welcome, you're welcome, karen. You should be proud of yourself for fixing your stove. You go girl!
Did mine yesterday. Works perfectly now.
Oh, Yorkshire Girl, I'm so glad to hear that. Thank you for letting me know. Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones.
After many years of one burner not working it took less than a minute to sand the spark ignitor. Ah, so relieved, it works again! Thanks to you! You have made me so happy by sharing your knowledge! Wishing you the best!
Oh, Kimm, that's wonderful to hear. I wish you the best too, and Merry Christmas!
Excellent step by step tutorial on how to fix this problem!! Thank you, you saved me lots of money!!!!
