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.

..through the use of electrical or duct tape, achieve the configuration in the photo..
I'm assuming you did this aleady, but is there electric getting to the stove?
Easy fix. Just contact repairclinic.com for advice and parts. HTH

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...PLUG IT IN!!!!!!!
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
