Smeg auxiliary burner won't light?

The spark electrode sits beside the burner and jumps a spark to the burner cap when you push the knob in, lighting the gas. If the ceramic body cracks, the lead breaks down or the tip is caked with food and grease, the spark either tracks to earth somewhere else or doesn't appear at all. You'll hear clicking but see no spark at the small burner, notice a weak orange spark, or wait several clicks before it lights. Spillovers are the usual cause, as moisture and residue get into the electrode.

Fitting the spark electrode

Isolate the power and turn off the gas supply before starting. A licensed gas fitter should carry out the replacement, as the cooktop top has to be lifted near the gas fittings. Follow the old lead back to the spark generator and route the new one the same way, clear of hot surfaces, then clip the electrode into the burner and test the spark and flame.

Questions about this part

Is this the auxiliary burner electrode?

Yes, it's listed for the auxiliary burner, the smallest burner on the cooktop. Other burners can use different electrode lengths, so check the position and measure your old lead if you are replacing another burner's electrode.
