5 Hi, Do you see a spark under your burners? I mean, there are two possibilities: 1. You turn knob, you get a spark, but burner doesn't lit up. 2. You turn the knob and there is NO SPARK/ No Spark on one of the burners or ALL of them. In scenario 1, some dirt/grime might be blocking the way of the gas and hence the spark doesn't come in contact with it. You need to take out all burner tops, clean them well, dry, and place them back. ESPECIALLY LOOK OUT THE BURNER AREA NEAR THE IGNITOR. Might solve the problem. Here is a video about how to locate your iginitor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZXz8_Md8hI In scenario 2, there is something wrong with your "ignition wiring harness". These are small square-shaped modules hardwired into your stove. You may want to replace them. Although you can do it yourself, its best you call a repairman. Sorry, but dealing with gas leaks is a serious issue, and I personally would want an expert hand. These harnesses are available on amazon for 20-30 bucks. Good luck and let me know if you need any further help.
