Gas range model is 79072903010 . Four burners.

one burner completely dead (no clicking sound), another is hard to ignite (have to try several times)
.
the part price is $116.41 direct from Sears, any cheaper good or compatible alternatives from different sources?

It looks like the small set screw (don't know the size) rusted and stuck on the pan.

I need to find a way to unscrew it so I can remove the burner first before I can lift the pan.

---

Well, it seems the screw is 316540900 , sold online any where between $10-$30 for one tiny screw,

I was wrong, the first post is for oven.

I think the burner parts should be
11C # 316536602 and 11 # 316536622

11C is around $50 and 11 is around $70

Thinking about selling the house and move to a smaller one.

Still will buy the lighter as a backup.

Look for your range in Craigslist you might get a used one free. Salvage for part.

yeah. Kind of dumb that they make the whole assembly as one part when you just need the igniter. Amazon has some separate generic ignitors you might try for ~$15 for a 4pack like https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM5Q9RB...p_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9kZXRhaWxfdGhlbWF0aWM. Might not fit though. Also, try just cleaning the ignitor and/or replugging them in? Might just be due to corrosion.
