![]() If you don't hear clicking or a snapping sound and if you do NOT see a spark (like the one in my photo above) then the igniter module could be shot or an igniter wire may have become disconnected. If that's the case then none of the gas appliances in your building will be working. If your appliance uses piped-in natural gas from a utility company, it's still possible that the gas supply has been shut off. If you don't hear gas hissing out at the gas burner your appliance may be out of fuel - a condition more likely if your fuel is LP gas supplied from a tank. But don't turn on your gas stove with burner parts missing - the flame won't ignite properly and you could cause a dangerous gas explosion. Watch out: we disassembled the stove top burner to make this photo. Our photo shows an LP gas stove top burner igniter sparking away. When a gas-fired heating appliance stops working, the problem may be with the igniter, not other gas valve components.
