Ignition Problems
On the stove top, the ignition has been gradually going out. A few burners would operate intermittently at first, now none work. When trying to ignite a burner, there is no clicking sound from the ignition. Gas still flows and can be lit with a match. Where to start? What would cause all top burner ignitors to not work?

More than likely the surface ignitors porcelain tips have failed over time. If it was an ignitor module failure the burners would have quit working at the same time. Go here to watch a excellent repair video for a ignitor replacement. The Part Number AP4369774 of the ignitor.
