Gas stoves that won't light can be frustrating, but there's good news — they are actually very easy to fix.

There are two simple reasons a gas stove won't light:

  • There's not enough gas to light the burner.
  • There's no spark to light the burner.

No gas getting to the burner is the most common and easiest to fix. It can be repaired in less than 30 seconds using a straightened paperclip!

The front burners are far more likely to not light because they are used more than the back burners.

The main cause of a gas burner that won't light is a pot that boils over and clogs the small hole that the gas comes out of.

Here are three quick-and-easy fixes to get your gas stove working again.
