LG Range - Why Won't My Burner Light

  • Troubleshooting

At a Glance

  • The gas valve is closed.
  • The burner cap or the burner head is assembled incorrectly.
  • There is moisture or debris around the burner cap

If all burners won't ignite or there is no smell of gas, there is a problem with the gas supply. Check if the gas valve is closed.
If the burner cap or the burner head is assembled incorrectly, it may not ignite.
Moisture or debris in the burner cap, burner head, spark plug, or heat sensing rod can prevent ignition.
If the burner hole (nozzle) is clogged by debris, it won't ignite.

Try this

All burners won't ignite

If the [clicking sound] is heard but the gas won’t ignite when you turn the knob, check if the gas valve connected to the gas range is turned on.
If the gas valve is turned off, turn it on.
If the gas won’t ignite with the valve turned on, turn the gas valve on and off 3 to 4 times and then try to ignite the gas.
Check if the gas has been shut off by the gas circuit breaker.
LG Electronics doesn't offer a repair service for a gas circuit breaker.

If the gas intermediate valve is closed, please open it.

A single burner won't ignite

Check the installation status of the burner cap and the burner head on top of the gas range.
If the burner cap or the burner head is tilted or is not seated fully, reinstall it so that it is level.

If tilted or lifted, install the burner cap and burner head horizontally.

Check if there is any moisture or debris in the burner cap, burner head, spark plug, or heat sensing rod.

If there is moisture or debris, remove it using a cleaning brush or a toothbrush before using the gas range.

If there is moisture or foreign substances, remove them with a cleaning brush and use a gas stove.

If the burner hole is clogged by a foreign object, it won't ignite.
Poke the hole 5 to 10 times using a small needle to remove the foreign object.
Don’t poke too hard.

Use a small needle to pierce the gas outlet 5 to 10 times to remove foreign substances.
