Spark Igniters and Modules
Create the spark that lights the gas. Cracked igniters or a bad module cause clicking with no flame.

Common Stove Problems
Signs Your Stove or Range Needs Repair
Stoves are used almost every day, so wear shows up fast. These are the problems we fix most in Pacifica kitchens.
Burner clicks nonstop, even when off
Burner clicks but won't light
Weak, uneven or yellow flame
Electric coil burner won't heat
Range oven won't heat or bakes unevenly
Knobs are loose, stuck or broken
Smell of gas near the stove
Range rocks or isn't level
What We Fix
Stove Parts We Repair Most
A range is two appliances in one: burners on top and an oven below. Here are the parts behind most calls.
Spark Switches
Sit behind each knob. Moisture from spills makes them click nonstop.
Burner Heads and Caps
Spread the gas evenly. Clogged ports cause weak, uneven or yellow flames.
Infinite Switches and Receptacles
Control heat on electric coil burners. Burnt receptacles stop a coil from heating.
Range Oven Igniter and Elements
Heat the oven under your burners. Gas oven igniters weaken over time and take longer to light.
Gas Valves and Regulators
Control gas flow. Only a trained technician should work on these parts.
Safety First
Stove Safety Every Pacifica Home Should Know
Ranges handle gas, high heat and electricity, so a few safety checks matter. We look at these on every stove visit.
- Anti-tip bracket installed. It keeps a freestanding range from falling forward if someone leans on the open door.
- Blue gas flames. Mostly blue flames mean clean burning. Yellow flames and soot are a warning.
- No gas smell. A faint whiff while lighting is normal. A steady smell is not.
- Good ventilation. Gas burners give off heat and fumes. A working range hood helps clear them out.
If your vent hood is weak or noisy, our range hood repair team can help. Clean air matters even more in tightly sealed coastal homes that stay closed up on foggy days.
Smell Gas?
Emergency Stove Repair, 24 Hours
Gas problems are the most serious stove issue. Follow these steps first, then call us.
Get Everyone Out
Don't light anything or flip switches. Open doors on the way out. Call PG&E or 911 from outside the home.
Clicking Won't Stop
Turn off the breaker or unplug the range. Remove the burner caps and let everything dry. Constant sparking wears out the spark module.
Book a Fast Repair
Once it's safe, call (650) 491-1179. We'll find the cause and fix it. See our emergency appliance repair page for more.
Ranges We Repair
Every Kind of Kitchen Range
Your range may run on gas, electricity or both. Each kind has its own common problems.
Gas ranges
Burner igniters, spark switches, oven igniters and gas valves. The most common type in Pacifica homes on PG&E gas lines.
Electric coil and glass-top ranges
Burner receptacles, infinite switches, radiant elements and oven bake elements.
Dual-fuel ranges
Gas burners on top with an electric oven below. Popular in pro-style ranges from Wolf, Viking and Thermador.
Induction ranges
Use magnets to heat pots directly. Repairs often involve control boards, cooling fans and power modules.
Stove Problem Guide
| Symptom | Likely Cause |

Cleaning tip
After a spill, wipe the burner and let it dry fully before lighting it. Never spray cleaner straight onto the burner. Spray the cloth instead to keep moisture out of the igniter.

FAQs
Stove Repair FAQs
Why does my gas stove keep clicking?
Constant clicking usually means moisture got into the spark switch or igniter after a spill or cleaning. Let it dry for a day with the burner caps off. If it still clicks, a spark switch or spark module needs replacing.
Why does my burner click but not light?
The burner cap may be out of place, the burner ports may be clogged with food, or the igniter may be cracked or dirty. Make sure the cap sits flat, clean the ports with a pin, and try again. If it still won't light, call us.
Why is my gas flame yellow or orange?
A healthy gas flame is mostly blue. A yellow, lazy flame often means clogged burner ports or a poor air mix. If you see soot on pots or smell gas, stop using the burner and have it checked.
Why isn't my electric coil burner heating?
Try swapping the coil with one that works. If the good coil works in that spot, the coil was bad. If not, the burner receptacle or the infinite switch behind the knob is likely the problem.
What is a stove anti-tip bracket?
It's a small metal bracket that keeps a freestanding range from tipping forward if a child climbs on the open door. Every freestanding range should have one. We check for it on every stove visit.
What if I smell gas near my stove?
Turn off the burners if you can do it safely, don't flip any switches, open windows, leave the home and call PG&E or 911 from outside. Once the gas company clears the area, we can repair the stove.
Is this page for my wall oven too?
This page covers freestanding and slide-in ranges, the oven-and-burner combo most homes have. For ovens built into the wall, see our oven repair page. For burner surfaces built into the counter, see cooktop repair.
