Gas Cooktop cannot start

My Wirlpool Gas cooktop cannot start by itself. When I turn the knob, there is no clicking sound and no sparks. I have to use match to light it on every time. I think the ignitor is bad.

Is this easy to be fixed by myself? or I have to call a specialist?

Thanks SZ

Replace the igniter; similar to my BBQ.

I'm assuming you did this aleady, but is there electric getting to the stove?

Sorry I have to ask...Is it plugged in and does the receptacle have power? If so here is a link to an online resource.

Yes, the power receptacle has power of 120V, and I don't think the cable to the cooktop has any problem. However, I don't know how to open the cooktop box to check it inside. It seems there is no way to open it from top. I checked from the under cabinet and could not see any screws. I guess I have to get the cooktop out off the counter and open it somehow.

What is the correct way to open it to check the ignitor?

thanks SZ
