Gas burner ignition failure

A gas burner that will not ignite, or that lets gas escape without lighting, is a safety issue — shut off the gas and have it serviced.
Check whether the burner igniter sparks — no spark points to the spark module or a wet igniter
Clean the burner cap and igniter port of food debris and dry any moisture
Confirm the thermocouple tip sits in the flame; a misaligned tip drops the gas valve even when lit
Test the spark module output if the igniter and thermocouple are good
Dry a moisture-affected igniter fully and retry before replacing parts
Pro Diagnostic Tip
E6 is a gas-burner ignition failure. Bertazzoni uses a European-standard thermocouple as the flame-safety device — if the tip is not held in the flame it drops the gas valve even after the burner lights. Rule out a dirty or wet igniter and a misaligned thermocouple before replacing the spark module.
