Right burner sparked over and over without ever catching, happened right as we were prepping dinner for guests. Igniter had shifted out of position, adjusted it and it lit on the first try 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.
Whatever sits in your kitchen, we've likely repaired one just like it.
Gas
Open flame burners, visible grates
Electric Coil
Classic round coil elements
Smoothtop
Flat glass surface, radiant heat
Induction
Flat glass surface, magnetic heat
A short breakdown of the likely cause behind each symptom.
Stars mark how urgent it usually isClicks or sparks but the gas never catches. Often an igniter that's slightly out of position, or a clogged orifice stopping the spark from reaching the gas.
One burner runs at full heat no matter the setting. Usually a stuck infinite switch controlling that burner, not a fault with the element itself.
A rapid clicking that never actually lights the burner. Usually moisture or debris inside the igniter module, stopping a reliable spark.
A single element stays cold while the rest work fine. Usually an internal break in that element, visible once it's inspected closely.
Won't click into any of the marked settings anymore. Usually a worn detent spring inside the knob assembly, not the burner or valve.
Burning yellow instead of blue, or uneven around the ring. Often a partially clogged burner port, worth checking before assuming a bigger issue.
Still Not Sure What's Wrong?

A handful of stove issues come down to something you can check yourself in a couple of minutes, no tools required.
Clean Around The Burner Ports
Food debris and spills can clog the small holes gas flows through. A soft brush can clear light buildup safely.
Check The Knob Clicks Into Position
Make sure the dial is actually landing on a marked setting rather than sitting between two.
Confirm Gas Or Power Supply
For gas stoves, check the shut-off valve is open. For electric, confirm the breaker hasn't tripped.
Make Sure Grates Sit Correctly
On gas stoves, a grate sitting slightly off can interfere with the igniter sensing properly.
Wipe Down The Igniter Area
Grease buildup right at the igniter tip can weaken the spark. A dry cloth wipe often helps.
Check For A Tripped Breaker
For electric stoves, especially after a storm, confirm the dedicated breaker is fully switched on.
If none of these fix it, the issue is likely something internal that needs a proper look. Book a visit and we'll track it down.
