  If your Fisher & Paykel range burners won't light, first check your circuit breakers to ensure you have electricity. Then, check the gas supply at the wall to confirm gas flow. Make sure you are using the correct type of gas. If the burners are dirty, clean them. Ensure burners are properly aligned and reassembled. If there is water in the burners, disassemble and dry them. Clean the burner electrode if it's dirty. If none of these steps work, call an authorized service.
