Burners Won't Light or Heat
Issues with ignition systems, heating elements, electrical connections, or gas flow problems
Common causes: Faulty spark electrodes, clogged burner ports, defective control valves, gas supply issues, or damaged ignition modules.
Our repair process: We diagnose the exact cause, clean or replace spark electrodes, clear burner blockages, test gas flow, and replace faulty components with OEM parts.
Uneven Heating or Temperature Control Issues
Problems with temperature sensors, control valves, or heating element malfunctions
Common causes: Worn heating elements, faulty thermostats, damaged control knobs, or calibration issues with temperature sensors.
Our repair process: We calibrate temperature controls, replace defective heating elements, repair or replace control valves, and ensure even heat distribution across all cooking zones.
Strange Noises During Operation
Unusual sounds from fans, electrical components, or mechanical parts
Common causes: Failing cooling fans, loose internal components, electrical arcing, or vibrating parts due to wear.
Our repair process: We identify the source of noise, replace worn fans, secure loose components, and eliminate electrical issues to restore quiet operation.
Control Panel or Touch Screen Malfunctions
Faulty touch controls, knobs, digital displays, or control board issues
Common causes: Damaged touch panels, worn control knobs, failed circuit boards, or software glitches in electronic controls.
Our repair process: We replace defective touch screens, repair or replace control boards, calibrate digital displays, and update firmware when necessary.
Gas Smell or Suspected Gas Leaks

Inconsistent Flame or Heat Output
Burner port cleaning, gas pressure adjustment, or element replacement
Common causes: Clogged burner ports, incorrect gas pressure, worn orifices, or debris in gas lines.
Our repair process: We clean all burner ports, adjust gas pressure to manufacturer specifications, replace worn orifices, and ensure consistent flame patterns across all burners.
Spark Igniter Sparks Continuously
Electrode sparks non-stop without lighting or after lighting
Common causes: Faulty ignition module, wet or dirty spark electrodes, defective flame sensor, or control board malfunction.
Our repair process: We replace the ignition module, clean or replace spark electrodes, repair flame sensors, and calibrate the control system to stop continuous sparking.
Spark Igniter Won't Light Cooktop
No spark or weak spark preventing gas burner ignition
Common causes: Dead ignition module, broken spark electrode, loose wiring connections, or power supply issues.
Our repair process: We test electrical connections, replace faulty spark electrodes, repair or replace the ignition module, and ensure proper voltage delivery to all ignition components.
Single Burner Igniter Not Working
One burner's spark electrode fails while others work normally
Common causes: Individual spark electrode failure, broken wire connections to specific burner, or localized moisture damage.
Our repair process: We isolate the faulty burner circuit, replace the defective spark electrode, repair damaged wiring, and test to ensure all burners ignite properly.
One Gas Burner Not Working
Single burner malfunction while other burners operate properly
Common causes: Clogged burner orifice, defective control valve for that specific burner, or gas flow restriction.
Our repair process: We clean the burner orifice, test and replace the control valve if needed, check gas flow to the individual burner, and ensure proper operation.
Intermittent Spark Igniter Issues
Sparking inconsistently across different burners or zones
Common causes: Loose wiring connections, intermittent ignition module failure, or moisture causing electrical shorts.
Our repair process: We check all electrical connections, test the ignition module under various conditions, seal against moisture intrusion, and ensure consistent spark generation.
Continuous Sparking After Ignition
Spark electrode continues firing even after gas is lit
Common causes: Faulty flame sensor, defective ignition control module, or improper flame detection feedback loop.
Our repair process: We replace the flame sensor, repair or replace the ignition control module, and calibrate the flame detection system to stop sparking once ignition occurs.

Faulty Ignition Module? Spark Repair and Gas Stove Ignition Service in Northern Virginia & Washington DC
Is your gas stove constantly clicking? Do the burners light but the spark keeps going non-stop? Hearing the endless snapping sound from the spark igniter driving you crazy? These common issues often point to one vital part — the ignition module (also known as spark module, re-ignition module, or spark control).
At PKC Appliance, we perform gas stove ignition repair and spark system replacement for all makes and models. If your Wolf stove spark won't stop or your GE Monogram, Viking, Bosch, Thermador, JennAir, Gorenje, or Dacor cooktop has ignition issues — we'll get it working like new quickly and reliably.
What the Ignition / Spark Module Does
The ignition module is the "brain" of your cooktop or gas range ignition system. Its two main jobs are:
Create a spark — When you turn the burner knob, it sends a high-voltage pulse to the electrode to ignite the gas.
Stop sparking after ignition — Once the flame is detected, it shuts off the spark so the burner stays quiet without constant clicking.
When the module fails, you may experience:
Burners that spark endlessly
No spark on any burner
Weak or intermittent sparking
Wrong burner sparking or only one burner sparking regardless of the knob you turn
Common Customer Complaints We Fix
Stove or cooktop spark won't stop
Gas stove ignition repair
Wolf spark module replacement
Viking cooktop keeps clicking
Spark continues after flame is lit
Thermador or Gorenje ignition module replacement
Only one burner sparking
Burner won't light but gas is flowing
Why DIY Spark Module Repair is Risky
Replacing an ignition module involves working with both gas and high-voltage electricity. Attempting a DIY repair without proper training can cause gas leaks, short circuits, or damage to your expensive appliance.
We use genuine OEM parts and perform all repairs safely, with a warranty on our work.
