I've been using a Bic lighter for 8 years. You fixed it in 10 seconds!

That was my issue, it fixed it in a second. God bless all you KZfaq Dads who take the time to film and upload stuff on the platform to help other grownups. 👍🏻

Young man, I want to thank you for showing me that simple trick your Dad showed you when you were a kid. I’m 82 years old and I was always in a big hurry to get one of my burners to work properly. The hole as you showed me was blocked and very little gas was coming out so it was the second biggest gas burner on my stove which I always used when cooking. Because of it being somewhat blocked, because the flame was so small I rarely used it. Only as a small warmer. But now since you told me how to fix it, the flame is so high and strong I can’t believe it My couldn’t believe how strong the flame is now. Thank you so much. A young man showing an 82 year old such a great trick. Plus I’m a very handyman and can fix many things. Thank you again.

I bought a new stove on sale and it was sitting collecting dust because of the rehab. When I finally installed it I was freaking out over thousand of reasons why it wouldn’t work. In 10 seconds you fixed it. Cheers to you brother

You deserve an award! I was on the verge of a minor breakdown, trying to figure out how to fix my gas burner. ❤ You are appreciated. Thank you! On behalf of my well-being, thank you.

Those "quick little fixes" our fathers showed us while growing up!...My Dad's gone now, but "those little things" he showed me growing up live in my heart so true to this day. WD-40! on hingers, stuck screws, window tracks, etc.../ Vacuuming the cooling air wrack under the fridge from pet hair, the dryer vent, the furnace filters, how to use a level, a saw, a paint brush, wallpaper removal, wallpaper installation, how to fix a hole in sheetrock, fix a hole in a closet (hollow) door, and so much more. Sure we can look at a KZfaq now for most of anything and that's great, but I have my Father's voice in my heart guiding me along! I could cry now when I remember back in the early seventies when he made me help him around the house. I couldn't go and play with my friends all the time. And it made me pretty mad at my dad. But now I see and hold the very value and importance of spending time with my dad and learning so much, so much that I would not have right now, if I spent only my time growing up with my friends. My message to young people today, is to spend time, important time learning from your parents and or your grandparents you won't have them forever. And the treasures that are passed down from them, to you, you can pass on to your children and your grandchildren. Sometimes those simple things but very hard things are what make life so enriching, so important, so beautiful and so precious. Cathy, grew up in Rochester, NY. Great post on the stove! My husband fixed our stove just now with this!

Thanks to you and your Dad! We were actually discussing whether we should start looking at prices of new stoves as one of our two favorite burners ceased to work a month or so ago - 2 mins watching you, another 30 seconds with a toothpick, and we're fixed! Thanks again!

Unbelievable. Kudos to your father for passing that on and to you for posting. Much thanks!

You had me at "a quick little fix that my father always showed me". I'm embarrassed to say that I've been manually lighting my most used burner on my stove for a couple of years. I even hired a repair man to come out and fix it (he flaked but that's another story). With it being Presidents' Day and all the appliance sales going on I was considering purchasing another stove but thought I'd try to research how to fix it myself. I came across your video and it worked! Thank you so much!

Thank you, your father is teaching millions and we are greatful for you passing this along

Hands in the air cheers! 2 years without 2 burners- until today. Thank you!

I wish I could hug you for posting this! Losing power to two out of four burners was causing me so much turmoil as someone who cooks a lot on my stovetop, I am so grateful it was an easy, inexpensive fix!! Thank you!

We love ya, man!!! ❤ We've got 5 burners, and one was getting dim. Then tonight, it didn't light at all. We've got family coming here in a couple of days, and need to do a lot of cooking. We were ready to call the gas company, and pay the tech to come fix it. We followed your advice, and found what I call "crud" around that small hole and a few other places on that silver thing, We took it off, cleaned it up, put it back on with the lid, and it immediately lit. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

This is amazing, my dad always took care of house repairs, he passed 2 years ago. Somehow I found my way to your video. This was so easy an old hatpin of my mothers did the trick. I felt like my dad was watching me over my shoulder and feeling so proud of his daughters ingenuity to follow your directions. Thank you you saved me the expense of a repairman house call. Terrific! Made my day.:))

Thank you so much. I’m an eighty two year old woman whose favorite stove burner did not light without a lighter for over a year. With your video I fixed it despite poor vision. Again thank you.

Single lady in the house. I was down to two out of four working gas burners. Let it roll for a while and decided it was time to fix it. Yours was the first video I came to and it worked. I am thrilled :-) I have 4 working gas burners now thanks to you. and to top it all off I didn’t blow the house up like I thought I might have to do to get it to work🥴 Appreciate it so much

You are so easy to understand and clearly show the steps. I’m sure you saved me a repair bill with such a easy fix. Thank you!!

THIS WORKED! Thank you so much for helping fix our stove… and giving me another reason to appreciate having my ears pierced.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! For the last 2 years I had to use matches, and every time it made me mad. Your clear and to the point video was a gift from heaven. I was able to fix the four burners of my stove with a paper clip in 5 minutes. I'm forever grateful.

I've cleaned the components to the high output burner several times, they seemed clean but still wouldn't light easily. After watching you show what Dad showed you, I ran a fine wire through EVERY hole. Yahoo! Thanks to Dad and you, success.

😂 Oh man, thank you! For about 3 years I've using the lighter for my lower left burner whenever we had to use it. We just avoided it for the most part. Dead simple fix with a paperclip. 📎 (as the other comments noted, replace the cover before testing.)

Man, you’re genius and taught me something. Had issue with center burner not igniting for months. Kept using matches or lighter. 2 mins into watching your video, I get up and fix the problem. Tested and perfect fix!!!! Than you sir 💯🎯

Short, to the point, and a great explanation of why it’s happening. Thank you so much, you helped me fix two of my burners.

Glory Hallelujah!! Sir, you are a saint! 2 years of frustration gone after a 2.5 minute video. Bless you!

Thanks for the very straight to the point no bs quick fix. My right front burner stopped igniting yesterday and the back left had never worked in 7 years. Both now are working as they should thanks to you.

Life saver indeed! I just cleaned our stove and somehow all 5 burners then began to fail to light. I figured that’s what caused it and now I’ll add this to the checklist to make sure it doesn’t happen again! I used a paper clip instead of my wife’s earring to save me trouble in that department down the line 😅

Thank you, it worked for me. It was a 2 Win situation: 1. No new stove. ($$$). 2. Stopped wife complaining. (Priceless).

Trying for three years to get someone to fix a burner on our stove. 15 seconds with a safety pin and it’s working like new. Can’t thank you enough. My wife thinks I’m a genius!

Two things.....thank you so much! I was able to fix the burner that I have been lighting with a lighter for the past month. And secondly, I don't feel so alone now! :) Knowing that it wasn't just me that couldn't figure it out makes me feel so much better!

Thanks so much! You helped us fix our burner in less than 1 minute. Much appreciated!

I thought I was in trouble, but your method fixed it! Yay for Dads who give good advice, and for sons who listen and share. Thank you so much!

You made a seemingly complex situation so easily resolved. Thank you so much 😊🙏

"Informative" is an understatement. This is educational! My gas range has a different mechanism but with your explanation, I figured it out myself. Thank you!

Ditto to all the great remarks/comments. We had the same issues with our new in December 2022 Frigidaire Gallery 30 Gas Cooktop. All good now, so a BIG thank you for your video.

You are my hero. Thanks so much for this wonderful video and tips. I have been struggling with my stove for the last several days, was about to call the handy man to fix, and I found you. Follow your instruction, it was done within 2 min. You are life saver. Thanks so much, sir

You just saved me money since the one burner we were using gave out this week. 3 minutes and a safety pin later and 3 of the 4 burners are back in business. A million thanks!

I literally fixed 3 burners today doing this bc my boyfriend and family couldnt make them work after a month😅💝 Thank you so much for this video! I'm the main cook of the house so it means a lot to me

Brilliant! I recently moved into a house with two non working burners. This was the issue on both of them! My wife thinks I am amazing. Thank you!

AMAZING JUST AMAZING THIS WORKS. I NOW HAVE BURNERS THAT WORK WITHOUT MATCHES. THANK YOUR FATHER FOR ME!!

I feel like I need a Q-tip to clean my igniter, because I am constantly letting food overflow the pot, but this did improve things immensely. Great great gratitude. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🕊️

Thank you!!!!! We've been manually lighting our 2 back burners when needed for over a year thinking we would have to replace the stove before selling. Came across your video, used a toothpick and voilà, all burners are back in business.

I didn’t even know there was a hole there, but sure enough that fixed my problem. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. (No detail is too small to be worthy of becoming content. We all need a little help sometimes!)

Whew you made my day. I have this problem for over a week now. I used candle lighter to light it up. You just saved me $$$$$.. THANK YOU, Sir very much! And of course thanks to your dad, too. Good father!

I have the exact same stove and was having the issue with smelling gas and getting a spark but no flame. Literally followed your steps and its working good as new thank you very much!!

Fantastic !!! Been struggling with this problem. Such an easy fix, with your guidance. Thank you ✊👍

I was able to figure out that problem some time ago. Thanks for showing how simple the fix actually is. PS: When testing to see if you have actually cleared the ignition passage, you must replace the cover plate. Othersise it won't work.

Thanks you very much from my heart, for long time I have to light my stove with a candle , just 5 second I fixed it after watching your video. It made my life more easy .

Of all the videos that I watched, your was the only one that mentioned the hole connecting the burner interior to the igniter. You are AWESOME! Thank you!

As an independent woman, I don't like asking for help I try to fix things myself and I have my own tool belt. Thank you so much for this video. I did exactly what you did and I fixed the burner.👍🏽😉 and kudos to your dad as well. 👍🏽

You saved Thanksgivving...I had planned to tell the fam we were going to Golden Corral. Now we can cook at home and invite everyone. Thank you

Thank you!!! It worked like a charm! I was on a cleaning binge, and accidentally blocked it while cleaning, but did not realize it. Bless your Dad!

Thank you! We spilled watermelon juice on ours so clearing the hole wasn't enough, but your clear explanation made it easy to understand what needed to be done and it worked great after removing, cleaning, and drying the base.

6 years and this is all I needed to do? Thank you!

Cleaning the center point fixed the issue. You saved me 175$. Thanks

I had to call a tech. for this issue. He showed me how to clean igniter for better earthing using a sand paper but never told about gas holes cleaning. With the help of this quick video, I was able to fix the problem which had grown overtime. Thank you!

Really loved it...so nice and emotional to mention that your father showed it to you.

This is definitely one of those common problems that some people are probably not aware of. I’m over here jumping to conclusions thinking I have to get the actual igniter replaced. Great video! This worked for my gas range stove 😊

I thought I was going to have to change the igniter but this solved my problem in literally 5 minutes for 3/5 of my burners. Thank you so much!

Thanks to you I fixed my burner then looked like a hero and fixed my neighbors burner. Your video is remarkably clear and easy to understand , not just the how but the why it works the way it does.

You are a lifesaver. I almost paid to get it fixed . Thanks a million ❤

Great video explaining how this works. My clog was in the center of the burner so your instructions showed me what to look for. Thanks!! Was down to 1-1/2 burners!!

You Fixed My Burner!!! Where I live the local repair place won't work on anything that wasn't purchased from them. Since the stove came with the house, I was out of luck. Thought I was going to have to spend $$$ and cross my fingers that I got the correct part. Found your video and less than 5 minutes later, my burner WORKS again! Thank You!!

I had no bottom left burner for over a year and with Thanksgiving right around the corner , I said let me try to fix this thing again. I came across your page and it worked . Thank you so much for this.

Thank you so much for producing this video. It was exactly what my stove needed and a very easy repair thank you. 🙂

Thanks for sharing, however I still had the problem of not lighting even after cleaning the nodule. I was so frustrated that I put everything back together and left and got takeout. Later I forgot that the stove didn't work and I turned it o and viola it worked. Come to find out the newer stoves(2017) have a safety mechanism(to prevent premature burning or 🔥) so you have to put the metal face plates/covers back on the eyes. Then and only then will it light. Hope u can incorporate this with your next video.

So so thankful for this video. I lost power on 2 out of 4 burners and had guests coming over. This video was a savior❤

Thank you! I got my stoke working. I also adjusted the spark source on the burner. For some unknown reason it was pointing downward. Being very gentle, my stove/grill cost me thousands of dollars, I gently nugget into position. Wow, it’s now working. Thank you!😎

Another thing - it is worth trying to wipe the igniter and area around it. There might be a residue of fat/oil that isolates the igniter and prevents the spark from forming.

Worked like a charm. I thought I’d need to pay a hefty service fee when my pot bubbled over, drowning the stovetop while making sea moss gel. So relieved, thank you!

DAYUM, Thought my stove was gonna have to be replaced before it broke down completely. Problem solved. Thank you SO MUCH

That is something in the past I may have just had to call the repair man for. Thank you! That big front burner was hit or miss. There was rusty dust around the inside of the burner and I used a paper clip to get the hole. I did also notice that inner lip of the black cap had rust and corrosion which probably caused some gas to escape over the burner slots as well. I tool a wire wheel to those caps and top of the aluminum burner assembly. Between those 2 things it is working great now.

Thanks...each time I cleaned my stove, it stopped working..had to call the technician and pay him a hefty fees...your tip just saved me the money and time....grateful.

Thank you so much for passing that trick along! You just helped us get our gas stove top working again without any other help or tools other than an earring!

One burner hasn't been lighting on my range(s) for 5 months... fixed in 30 seconds. Thank you. All knowledge is on the internet...somewhere.

I watched so many videos about burner not working this is the first that explains how the parts function and showed that little hole where the gas hits the igniter. THANK YOU you saved our family get togrther.

You are a blessing, I almost bought another stove. Thank you for the help❤❤❤

Thank you kindly for showing my husband and I how to relight our stovetop burner. Great job! 👏👏

I don't even need to fix my stove but found this so informative!! I totally appreciate this video

Just want to add my comment of thanks to all the others here. I was down to ONE burner this afternoon!!!! With much frustration, I turned to youtube AND facebook marketplace, where I started the process of looking for a new/used stove... but after watching your video, I tried the ole needle in the hole trick.. and violaaaaaaaa.... I now have FOUR working burners again. Why didn't I think of this before?? LOL Thanks man, you saved me some money and got my stove back up and running again. Much appreciation!!

Thank you so much for that tip!! I have a GE Profile gas cook top and one of my burners has not been working for so long. It would have easily cost me $200 to have someone come out here and fix that burner. Your video is so spot on. Even though I have different burner pieces ... I had no problem utilizing this technique. I actually used jewelry wire because the holes for the gas release is actually lower than a reach for a back of an earing. Thank you for empowering me and getting be back to a fully operating cook top! Sincerely!

My power burner hasn’t been working for months. I had to keep lighting it with a toothpick. I’ve looked at so many other videos. THANKKKK YOOUUUU SO MUCH FOR GIVING ME MY KITCHEN BACK!! ❤❤❤

It worked! I was stressing out trying to google how to get my burner to work again, then I went to youtube and found your video. Thanks for the tip!

Oh my gosh, THANK YOU! You just saved me an expensive service call, AND, the one burner that has been a complete pain since I bought my home 3 years ago, now works perfectly too. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

BRILLIANT!!!! And thank you for being direct in your video rather than making it last 15 minutes long.

Ok, just a shout out for how awesome of a fix this was. Learn something new every day and this was it for me. Fixed the stove in a few minutes… was so annoyed with that one burner that would not light.

Our stove hasn’t worked outside of having to use an external lighter for 4 years. Initially told there was an internal mechanism that was broken. Tried this and now working. Cannot thank you enough for something so simple lol

I used a sewing pin, and it worked! Thank you for this tip because we have been hand lighting this burner since last week. I appreciated knowing where the source of the gas comes from also. Grateful!

Your trick worked right away. Saved $200 .. thanks a ton

Videos like this are what makes the internet magical. Thank you friend.

OMG you really deserve an award I have been lighting the burner for more than 2 years thank you soooo much!!!!! Couls not believe it🎉🎉🎉🎉

Thanks so much. My burner would click and gas came out but it wouldn’t light. I used a large needle eye end and it now works! Thanks so much for this fix. I haven’t been able to use this burner without a match for months!

I use a stove every day. I didn't know how the gas gets out. But you just taught me. Thank you, sir! I'm off to impress all my friends with this valuable knowledge 😀.

Wow! This video deserves more attention. Fixed my burner problem!!! Thank you so much.

Im not sure i would have figured this out without your video, but i would have tried. That said a video like this saves all of us who are not mechanical a $100 service charge for a repairman! Thanks so much!

Dude just spent $900 and had my new gas cooktop delivered from Lowe’s. Was searching for video on how to replace gas cooktop and stumbled on this. Can’t believe this worked!!! Taking the new one back to Lowe’s and getting a refund! Thank you.

Ha, our stove has not lit for over 3 years, yes 3+ years. Even asked a few guys who are very knowledgeable about fixing up houses. No one knew and here I try this and sure enough the hole was clogged and now it works! Thx a ton. 👍

thank you for a concise, easy to follow fix. I also appreciate that you didn't turn this into a 15 minute video!!

Worked perfectly! There was a build up of cleanser in the little hole on my primary burner. I used a toothpick to clean it out and the burner came on right away. So appreciate this - was about to call a handyman and this saved me a lot of time and money.

Was about to pay $275 to have igniters replaced. Praise God after watching your video all burners are working.

Dude,Thank your father for me! I did not realize there was a teeny, tiny, hole in the ignitor port. I pushed a paperclip into the ignitor side of the hole that came out inside the burner casting and presto.... flame in the burner in less than 30 seconds! Most useful and to the poit video on this topic! Thanks again. No more pasta water boil overs. :)
