How it shows up ## What people describe when they call - “It clicks steadily and nothing lights” - “It started right after the cooktop was cleaned” - “One burner only, or all of them” In more detail ## About Fisher & Paykel burner clicks and will not light ### The fastest diagnosis is the code Let the burner cool, lift the cap off and put it back squarely — a cap a fraction proud is the single commonest cause and it happens every time a cooktop is cleaned. While it is off, check the ports around the crown are clear; a boil-over blocks them and a pin or a toothpick clears them. If the cooktop has been washed recently, give it time: moisture in a burner will stop it lighting until it dries out. ### Sparking is good news It means the ignition module, the electrode and the wiring are doing their job. What is left is **gas arriving at the burner** and **the burner being assembled correctly** — and the second of those is the answer far more often than the first. ### The cleaning connection A large share of these calls start the day after somebody cleaned the cooktop. Caps come off to be washed and go back a fraction proud or rotated; ports get wet; crowns get put back on the wrong burner. None of it is damage and all of it stops a burner lighting. ### Twenty-nine gas machines This maker lists fifteen gas ranges, sixteen dual-fuel ranges, thirteen gas cooktops and eleven professional rangetops for the United States, in natural gas and LPG versions. The burners and the ignition are shared across them, so everything here applies whichever of those you have. This article is based on: - Official manufacturer documentation - Internal repair procedures - Technician repair history - Company quality standards Before you book ## Questions about fisher & Paykel burner clicks and will not light Then it is almost certainly the cap, and it is free. Burner caps sit in one orientation and one position; put back a fraction proud or rotated, the gas comes out where the spark is not. Lift it off cold and let it drop into place rather than pressing it down. On a gas machine with electric ignition, that is usually electrical rather than gas — a tripped breaker, or a range unplugged during a cleaning. Worth knowing: these can be lit by hand during an outage, and a burner that lights with a match but not electrically has just told you where the problem is. Usually not broken. These burners watch for a flame and spark again if they think it has gone: a pot boiling over, a draft from an open slider, or a cap a fraction out of place will all trigger it. If it still clicks with a clean, dry, correctly seated cap and a steady flame, the sensing side needs looking at rather than the ignition side.
