so time to call for service.

Dacor cooktop left front burner igniter would click but no gas was making it to the burner and no flame to heat the water for spaghetti.

Removed all the grilles, burner caps and burners. Then unscrewed 15 torx screws on each burner bases and remove all 5 knobs by pull them up. Removed each burner base and unplugged all 5 igniter wires.

Now the drip pan can be lifted off.

Each gas valve is connected to a flexible aluminum gas hose.  Each gas hose has a brass orifice or jet that control how much gas it feed to each burner. After the orifice is a venturi which Gas is introduced into the air stream through small orifice at the narrowest part of the venturi. Fuel flows in response to a particular pressure drop in the venturi is adjusted by means of precisely-calibrated orifices or jets, in the fuel path with the gas. then there is the main tube that is slid into the gas burner. This main tube had fell out of the burner base. Gas was fill under the cooktop not going to the burner.  I replaced the tube,  slid it into the burner base bend the inlet tube a little to keep the tube in place.  Put it all back together making sure each igniter wire when back to the correct burner..

Turned the knob and poof the burner was working again.

    Man, Thanks a million for posting this. I just saved a boatload of money and aggravation on a used Preference 36″ that I just installed. That pipe must be pretty loose to come out like that. Plus it’s filling the cavity with gas. There’s a ‘boom’ in the wings. Thanks again for your help.
