Wolf Cooktop Burner Won't Light
Cooktop Burner Won't Light is usually one of a small number of specific, repairable causes — here's what to check and when it's worth calling a professional.
Common Causes
Residue at the burner ports
Hard-water residue and desert dust collect in the ports together, producing the uneven light that gets reported as an igniter fault.
A dirty or misaligned igniter
Debris or grease buildup prevents a clean spark, which is the single most common cause of ignition failure.
A faulty gas valve or regulator
Controls gas flow to the burner and can fail independently of the igniter.
