Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Before you call anyone, check whether other burners on the same unit ignite normally, which narrows the fault to one burner or the whole unit. Also, confirm the burner ports and igniter are dry and free of spilled food or debris. Should that not clear it, a gas valve or spark module fault means working on live gas and ignition components, which is licensed work in most areas.
