Quick check — and when it's not DIY
There's one thing worth checking before you book 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. Beyond that, if it still won't spark, the igniter, spark module, or gas valve is at fault, and gas components aren't a homeowner repair by code in most areas.
