I have a Lady Kenmore gas cooking stove. I bought it at a garage
sale. It seemed to work perfect when I first got it, but a few weeks
later the ignitor for the top burners seemed to stop clicking on all 4
burners. I checked all the visible wires under the burners. (Now
where the hell they hide the control box for this thing still amazes
me).

OK, I could not get it to work, and was not willing to spend a fortune
for repairing a stove that cost me $30. A 99 cent Bic lighter works
just fine, as well as a sparker for a propane torch.

But here's the weird part. I swear this stove is on drugs or
something. First off, the controls are backwards. Every stove I have
ever used turns starts with a small flame and the further I turn to
the left, the bigger the flame gets. Well, this stove starts out with
a huge flame and the further I torn to the left the smaller it gets.
OK, thats weird enough, but this is the ultimate in weirdness.
When I turn on a burner, I DO NOT hear that click click click. I use
my lighter and light the stove. As soon as there is flame on the
burner, it starts going click click click........ WTF ??????????

Can anyone make any sense of this goofy stove?
Hopefully there is an appliance repair person online.....

That means Lady Kenmore is a crack whore.
