Cooktop Igniter Troubleshooting 2

After a few minutes of cleaning the partially clogged propane orifices with rubbing alcohol and compressed air, here are the nice results. Remember to unplug your cooktop and turn off the propane or gas before doing any cleaning or maintenance like this.

Hi Kim just wanted to let you that your video was amazing and helped solve this annoying issue. Calling an expert would’ve costed me a lot so thanks for sharing your experience !

This is literally the only video i found that truly addressed the issue! I had not idea about the flame heating the igniter. Nor did I know about the simmer orifice! Thank you!

Great video, thank you. The key is knowing that this GE and most other high end cooktops have two gas sources. The simmer lower volume gas source is what gets restricted or clogged and causes the igniter to not say lit. The constant attempts to reignite it with gas source restricted causes the clicking sound. My 2nd gas source was successfully cleaned with Acetone and a very small thin wire I was able to move up and down inside the pilot hole. Also used the wire to clean all the little holes around the simmer ring as a couple near the pilot were partially restricted as well. Bottom line, unit works now!

Hey Kim have the same model! Thanks for the vid! I could really use your help with fixing my stove and would appreciate 10 min of your time if you could spare it. Please let me know if you could help me out with igniter issues and also noticed my knobs don't light up like yours. Thanks for your time. Best, Chaz
