The 2 rear burners always light when turning on, but the front one does not. What gives?

Hi

Take a look at the spark created at each burner. You may need to bump the spark wire on the "bad" burner.

Huh?

There's a little metal wire that serves as the electrode to create a spark to ignite the gas. I think the comment "bump the spark" means to check the position and gap of the igniter on the front burner that's giving you trouble to make sure it hasn't been knocked out of position making it harder for a spark to be produced there. It should be aligned similarly to the rear two. If that isn't it, check the wiring to that ignitor under the stove top. If the others are igniting easily, this is should be where your problem is at.

I don't what I did, had spark at all 3 burners, looked the same, cleaned area, tried, nope, check for looseness, retest nope, slightly turned, started. Might have fixed it ,will check next day. To confirm
