Why Your Stove Burner Isn’t Heating Fast Enough
If your gas stove takes too long to heat, the issue could be with the igniter. Weak or delayed ignition often means the igniter is wearing out and not drawing enough current to open the gas valve quickly. In some cases, the igniter glows but doesn’t get hot enough to ignite gas immediately — leading to slow heating and poor flame quality. This is common on older stoves or after heavy use.
We test igniter amps and continuity before replacing to make sure it’s the actual fault - not a gas valve or control board issue.
