Right burner sparked over and over without ever catching, mid dinner prep for guests. Igniter had shifted slightly, adjusted on the spot and it lit instantly after.

A burner that sparks without lighting, or one that won't back off from full heat, usually comes down to a single small part. We track it down fast, often the same day you call.
Match the symptom below to what's likely causing it, straight from years of Waterdown service calls.
You hear sparking but no flame ever catches. A misaligned igniter is common, though a blocked gas port can produce the exact same result.
One burner blasts full heat no matter where the dial sits. The switch controlling that specific burner has likely stuck, rather than the coil itself failing.
The igniter keeps firing rapid clicks but nothing ever lights. Dampness or grime inside the igniter housing is a frequent cause of this exact symptom.
Every burner heats fine except one, which never warms at all. A break somewhere inside that particular element is the near-certain explanation.
The control knob rotates freely without ever locking into a setting. The small spring that holds each position in place has typically worn through.
Instead of a clean blue ring, the flame looks yellow or uneven. A partially blocked burner port is usually behind it, worth clearing before assuming anything bigger.
Still Not Sure What's Wrong?
Rather than keep testing settings, call and get a technician's read on it today.

Back left element wouldn't heat up at all, tried everything. Internal break in the coil, swapped and heat's even across it now.
Xiomara D.
One burner only ever ran on full blast no matter the setting. Switch behind it had stuck, fixed during the same visit.
Cormac I.
Clear explanation of the igniter problem while he worked through it. Docked one star only since the replacement took an extra day to source.
Bellamy S.
Knob spun loose without ever catching a setting. Spring inside had worn out, quick fix and inexpensive too.
Wilhelmina O.
One burner had a rough yellow flame instead of blue. Port was partly clogged, cleared and it burns properly now.
