Sometimes after I clean the stove top water gets in the ignition system. All you have to do is get it "clicking" again & light a match near it. It should light again. (hey, just don't leave the gas on to long....poof!)

Lift the top of the stove and see if the burner is attached to the gas pipe. Also, check to see if anything has spilled on the burner that would prevent gas from flowing through the burner. The igniter for that burner may be bad, also. You should be able to get a universal replacement at any hardware store.

The burners likely need to be cleaned. After you clean them with a venturi burner brush (it's like a pipe cleaner on a long spring), they should light again. You can get this brush wherever they sell replacement parts for gas grills.
It is also possible, but less likely that the igniters need to be replaced. I say that it's unlikely because the problem is with 3 of them at the same time.

Yes, what Sandy said...clean out the holes in the burners. they get clogged w/ water, soap, cleaner, food.
If 3 are not lighting, then one side is def. not the pilot light, because there's 1 pilot light for 2 burners.
Just lift the lid and check the pilot lights, if they are lit, clean the burners. Sometimes they screw off. sometimes a toothpick will clean them out. If you don't have teh original manual that came w/ it, search on the company's website or just in a search engine.

1. Each of the burners should be seperately controlled.
2. You may have a clogged gas line (maybe from food/grease getting caught in it).
3. The electric ignitors may have gone bad.
4. Do the other 3 spark?

will they light with a match? If not I'd lift the top and see where the click is coming from...there should be gas jets near it...I'd try to clean them out....maybe with a toothpick or toothbrush....and if that don't work just use a match to light them.
Don't worry Injurdick.....the little thing that makes the click is a glow plug ....it makes little electric spark that light the gas....there is NO pilot light....even saves a litte energy that way.

First make sure the pilots are lit. You can lift out the gas jets and take them to a gas station and use the air hose to blow them out. That'd what we used to do a long time ago when I cooked with gas. They are probaably clogged. Just be sure you get them back on right. It is really quite easy.

If your pilot lite is lit.. which I imagine it is since one burner lights. Try cleaning it with a wire brush and vacuum all the ash and dirt with a dirt devil or equivalent and vacuum.
