Gas Stove burner won't ignite repair typically costs $80 to $250. Some causes are DIY-fixable, but professional diagnosis is recommended if the problem persists. Most repairs are completed in 45 min-1.5 hours with a free diagnostic visit.
Clogged igniter port
Failed spark module
Wet igniter
Faulty gas valve
Broken spark electrode
The spark igniter tip accumulates grease and food residue from daily cooking, insulating the spark gap. Bay Area humidity deposits a moisture film on the ceramic insulator, further reducing spark strength. Heavy cooking households in the Bay Area may need igniter cleaning every 6-12 months.
Cost: $60–$150 | Time: 30-60 minutes
The tiny holes around the burner cap clog with food debris, boil-over residue, and grease. Even if the igniter sparks, gas cannot reach the spark point for ignition. In busy Bay Area kitchens where multiple burners run simultaneously, boil-overs are frequent and clog ports of adjacent burners.
Cost: $60–$120 | Time: 30-45 minutes
The spark module generates high-voltage pulses to all igniters simultaneously. When it fails, some or all burners won't spark. PG&E power fluctuations in older Bay Area homes can damage the module. If no burners click, the spark module has likely failed rather than individual igniters.
Cost: $100–$220 | Time: 45-75 minutes
The gas valve for a specific burner can stick closed or the PG&E gas supply pressure may be low. Older Bay Area homes with original gas lines sometimes have restricted flow from pipe corrosion. The igniter clicks and sparks, but no gas reaches the burner for ignition.
Cost: $120–$280 | Time: 45-90 minutes

Verified reviews from homeowners across San Francisco and Bay Area
“My exprience with Easy Bear was absolutely superior from the beginning. I had a Subzero decide to quit. Daniel assessed the issue immediately, ordered the required new " motherboard" and had it installed within three days. My prior replacement of said part took 5 months during Covid. Daniel is smart, professional, clearly knows his trade . I most definitely will use Easy Bear in the future.”

“Daniel the technician came to diagnose what's causing our washing machine water overflowing. He didn't actually have to do anything to solve the issue, because as soon as he turned it back on, it began to work properly, but explained what the probable cause was. He was sincere and clear on the matter related to the situation. I wasn't charged for his visit as I was told ahead of time. Stanislav was also cordial arranging for all of the process. I will call them next time I need an appliance service without hesitation.”
