Why Jenn aire gas cooktop burner not igniting?

The actuator that tells the igniter to "click" may not be functioning properly. Also, the igniter itself may have failed. Why not call a shop and ask a few questions? They're the experts, and they usually share a little of what they know for free. Have all the information off the manufacturer's plate handy on a piece pf paper. You know what you need. Make, model, serial number and any other information that will identify your particular unit. Many of these units can be repaired by a "non-technician" but many of them cannot. Be smart about this one, and good luck resolving your stove problems. Perhaps a more useful reply: I had this problem recently on my stove. By luck a gas plumber visited my house. He told me he would normally charge $150 for a housecall, but then proceeded to fix the problem in about 30 seconds. If you get a torch and look under the stove you will see a little contraption that holds a 9-volt battery. If all the igniters aren't working, then chances are the battery is flat, and needs replacing. If just one igniter isn't working, then more likely a bit of crud has jammed in the gas line, and brushing around where the flame comes out with a stiff-bristled brush could fix it.
