My stove is 7 years old. It was working perfectly until today when I cleaned the stove top. Now the right front burner won't light. It clicks, and the smell of gas is obvious, but the burner doesn't light. Any ideas?

Get a screwdriver or something, and scratch the little metal surface of the ignitor, cleaning stuff likes to form a coating over the ignitor, and keep it from igniting, also make sure the burner cap is on properly, and that the small hole on the burner is not clogged with anything.
