Rotary Igniter

We have a Wedgewood Vision propane stove in our 2013 Montana 3582RL. The rotary igniter is not working. The burners do light if I use a BBQ lighter, so I'm assuming I need a new igniter.

I have 2 questions:


1) Is there anything I can try to get it working?


2) If I need a new one, where could I find it?


Any help is much appreciated.

Did you check under the stovetop to see if the wire came loose?

We use the BBQ igniter on both our 2013 and 2017. The clicker wasn't always reliable so we just gave up and don't worry about it.

I and many others converted from rotary to electronic ignition. Cheap & easy conversion and parts available at WalMart in grilling accessories. Battery powered and lasts a long time. Do a search here or You Tube for instructions.

Thanks for all the good advice. I will check to see if the wire came loose. If I can’t fix I will do what was suggested and convert to electronic ignition.

Took the stovetop off and it was as you suggested, one of the wires had come off. Reattached it and the igniter works perfectly.
Thanks!
