I have a Magic Chef stove with four burners on top. All four burners will not ignite. I dont get that clicking noise. There is gas, because I can manually light all four burners, but the same issue is on all four. Is this an ignitor issue? I can take the top off for cleaning so I was looking around but am lost. I am not really finding any help on the internet with this issue and with Magic Chef's as a whole. Sorry for my lack of knowledge, this is one of those first time appliance repair attempts.
I am pretty sure this is Model CGL1120
Thanks!
Probably a failed spark ignition module. You need to identify where the module is located, usually behind a removable sheet metal cover.
Check to see if power is applied to the module when you turn on a range burner valve. If you have voltage but no spark, check to see if the second power wire has been broken or gnawed in two by rats. If you've got correct power to the module and it's not sparking replace the module (modules are highly reliable and rarely need to be replaced. Check carefully for defective wiring).
If you have no voltage at the module, check for bad wiring.
Odds are the module is good and the wiring is the problem.
I have replaced several ignitors, thought this would be another 15 min job.
there is no power coming to the ignighter in my magic chef oven.
all burners and clock works.
Looked for a fuse, saw nothing.
I kind of doubt there is a seperate fuse for the oven, but that is why I am here, I an not so smart.
2) I really do not think rats ate the wiring. any other ideas appreciated.

Spark module may be dead and or defective. Replace if need be and there is power to the rest of the appliance and all else works.

Retail appliance parts dealers can also help determine what the possible problem may be also. They will need the make, model an serial numbers. Appliance parts dealers are an excellent source for original replacement parts. Dealers are listed in the phone book under appliances.
Be sure the electrical power and the gas supply to the appliance is turned off, before attempting any repairs. Always check for gas leaks whenever the appliance is moved and/or a repair includes any connection of a gas part.

We have the Maytag Magic Chef here at work and have been noticing that every so often the ignition on the stove top fails to work on all 4 burners. Periodically it begins working again like the problem never occurred. If you could please give some insite to what the problem could be I'd really appreciate it.
I like to read follow up to see if people found a fix. I will report on my range...the answer is NO. I only give up about 10% of the time. this was a ten percenter. I sold the faulty range for $40 and bought a new one.
sdanville.......you jumped on this thread with a different problem. This thread was pertaining to stove top burners and your problem was the oven.

Welcome to the forums !
There is one common spark module that runs all four burners. There is a spark control switch on each gas valve.
So what exactly is your problem.
Does one of the gas valves fail to make the unit spark at all ?
or
does the spark always work (you can hear it) but it doesn't work at a particular burner ?

I perceived the topic as about ignitors ~
following up from last years thread.
Sorry to have jumped in on the do it yourself forum.
No need to be sorry. Your post could have been started as it's own thread as the repair for your oven is different than the repair for the top burners.
I just started as a moderator although I have been on the site for a while. I would have moved your post to it's own thread.
No problems..... you replaced the range with a new one.
