5 Burner Gas Cook Top With Only 1 Lighting Normally!
Hello, Are there parts that I can change to get our 5-6 year old kenmore cooktop to light normally? Only 1 burner lights without a match. Most make clicking sound, one does not make any sound.
Please help! Thank you, Ed

TRY CLEANING THE BOTTOM OF THE CAPS WITH SANDPAPER OR A GREEN SCRATCH PAD.
THEN CLEAN THE "VERY SMALL HOLE" WHERE THE IGNITOR SPARKS ON THE BURNER ASSEMBLY. (THIS HOLE SOMETIMES BECOMES CLOGGED AND THE GAS CAN NOT GET TO THE SPARK)
THEN RESEAT THE CAPS WHILE PUSHING DOWN AND TEISTING BACK AND FORTH TO ENSURE A GOOD SEAT.
TRY IT AGAIN...JIM
