1. The Atwood propane stove had one burner that would not light anymore when turning the sparker on the left of the row of dials.
Took the top off the stove and found the three burners, a wire to each burner's own sparker to the main sparker dial (three wires). Swapped wires at the burner end, and now the bad burner worked and the other didn't. Hmmmm. Checked burner connection tubes, and orifices, all clear. Swapped wire sets between main sparker and burners, found that it was one of the three main sparker outlets that was the weak sister, wires ok.
Bought a new three- sparker gizmo ($29 Can.) that fits in there behind the dial you twist, installed using same wires, BAM! Each burner now fires up big on the first twist! Like magic. OK, so lesson is the sparker gizmo gets tired after 11 years, and you don't need a new stove top or whatever. :)
