Kenmore Pro Gas Cooktop Won’t Light? We Got Your Back!

Hey Atlanta folks! Ever had your Kenmore Pro range just…not light up? You turn the knob, hear a few clicks, and nothing happens. Maybe you get a faint whiff of gas and a spark eventually, but who wants that kind of stress when dinner’s on the line? This is NOT how to light a gas stove, folks.

This happened to one of our neighbors right here in town. Luckily, they called Pro Appliance Repair, the go-to for appliance repair in Atlanta. Our certified tech, a whiz at troubleshooting home appliances, came over to figure out what was up.

Sleuthing Out the Stove Repair Culprit

Our tech isn’t just good with tools, they’re experts at stove repair in Atlanta, especially when it comes to Kenmore ranges. They listened to what the homeowner was dealing with, asking about any weird noises or smells (you know, beyond the usual yummy cooking aromas).

After a good look-over, it was clear: the issue wasn’t the pilot light or the gas supply. Nope, the broken ignitor switch harness was the bad guy in this story. This little part is key for making the spark that lights your gas, and when it goes kaput, so does your dinner.

Educational Aside

Ever wonder what makes your gas burner ignite with that satisfying whoosh? It’s all thanks to the ignitor switch harness! This little bundle of wires is responsible for carrying electrical current to the spark ignitor, which creates the spark that lights your gas.

Think of it like the spark plug in your car – without it, there’s no combustion. And just like a spark plug can wear out or get dirty, so can your ignitor switch harness.

Here are some signs that your ignitor switch harness might be on the fritz:

• Clicking without ignition: You hear the clicking sound of the ignitor trying to spark, but the gas doesn’t light.
• Delayed ignition: The burner takes several clicks or a long time to ignite.
• Intermittent ignition: The burner lights sometimes, but not always.
• Burning smell: You smell gas even when the burner isn’t lit.

If you notice any of these signs, don’t ignore them. A faulty ignitor switch harness is not only an inconvenience but also a potential safety hazard. Luckily, replacing it is a straightforward fix for a qualified technician.

Fixing the Broken Ignitor Switch Harness

Now, this ain’t your DIY kind of fix. Our tech busted out the multimeter to confirm the diagnosis (fancy, right?), and then swapped out the faulty ignitor switch harness for a shiny new one. We only use manufacturer-approved parts because safety and top-notch performance are kind of our thing.

Happy Homeowner, Happy Cooktop

Boom! Just like that, the Kenmore Pro range was back in business, igniting like a champ. The homeowner was psyched, not just because their kitchen was safe again, but because they could finally cook dinner without a side of stress.
