I have a Frigidaire gas range and one of the burners won't light. It is the spark electrode type and the electrode is not sparking. Any suggestions??? Is this a do-it-yourself repair or should I call a repairman????

Does the ignitor work with the other burners and the oven/broiler?? If so - check out the burner valve switch that initiates the spark. -
The ignitor does work with the other burners and the oven/broiler? Where do I find the burner valve switch? I have a Frigidare Gallery Gas Range, model FGF378WCCB. I don't see anything in the manual about it.quote:Originally posted by HayZee518

On my stove one burner starting not working, and within a few months they were all not working. I ended up having to replace the electronic ignitor and all was fixed. Mine was located behind the stove under the back plate.Comment

There is a little microswitch adjacent to the gas valve or installed at the back of the knob. This initiates the spark assembly when you turn the knob to "light"Comment

I checked out my range - It is also a Frigidaire and all the numbers are the same as yours except for the last four letters. Mine used the LPG conversion kit cause I use propane.
Go to this link and you'll find the ignitor switch. www.repairclinic.com
The switch is on the second parts page in the link.Comment

The part I ended up replacing was the spark module which is a bit pricey. I would suggest calling an Appliance Tech to troubleshoot this for you instead of black boxing it and spending more for parts you don't need. Also, I've not heard good things about ordering parts through Repair Clinic just in case you decided to use them as your supplier. Their site is great to look up things, but don't order from them, they like shipping the wrong part and not taking it back.Comment
