Stove Igniter Not Working in San Diego — Causes and What to Check
A stove igniter that clicks but won't light — or clicks constantly on its own — is usually a dirty or cracked igniter, not a gas line problem. Most San Diego homeowners can fix this in 20 minutes with a toothbrush and a replacement part under $15 from a hardware store.

Is a stove igniter not clicking at all a gas safety issue in San Diego?
If the igniter doesn't click and you don't smell gas, it's almost certainly electrical — a blown fuse, a tripped breaker, or a disconnected igniter wire. If the igniter doesn't click and you do smell gas, turn off the burner knob, ventilate the kitchen, and don't use the stove until SoCalGas or a licensed appliance tech has cleared it. San Diego Gas & Electric leak line: 1-800-427-2200.
