Kenmore Elite igniter not working properly

Hello,

The front left burner will not ignite when the knob is turned on. Yes the gas is flowing to it. However, when I turn on any other knob the igniter on the front left ignites and the burner works fine. I am assuming it is something in the knob assembly?

I am forced to light another burner in order to use the left front burner. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Scott,

You could have a valve igniter switch problem,

The switch should indicate a closed circuit, on a meter, when knob is turned to the “lite” or “On” position,

If the switch circuit checks proper, you will need a new spark module.
