Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Start here — it costs nothing and rules out the easy cause: confirm the food warmer & holding cabinet has power, any gas supply valve is open, and a simple reset — power off 60 seconds, back on — doesn't restore heat. If none of that changes anything, no spark or flame usually means the igniter or gas valve itself has failed, and gas-carrying parts are restricted to licensed work in most jurisdictions.
