Gas Stove PSA

[89th]

If you’re gas stove suddenly stops lighting (no spark, no click, etc), check nearby outlets to see if any have tripped (test/reset). I was checking the stove wiring itself, and couldn’t figure it out for a few minutes.

Yep. All GFI in the kitchen.

[Jolly]

Don't have a GFI in the house. Don't like them.

[Mik]

89th does.

[Jolly]

Yeah, but he's all wet...

If you're unsure of the reason the stove isn't lighting - it could either be a problem with your ignitor or with your gas supply.

Pro-tip: To check the latter, leave the stove going for 1/2 an hour with all the doors and windows closed, and then strike a match

Ha... well I did light it with lighter last night so we could cook dinner. Felt like the old days

[Jolly]

Nah, the old days would have started with splitting kindling...

[Horace]

Good tip. But I still have to replace a spark plug in one of my burners.
