Looking for some confirmation of what part might be bad while troubleshooting a single burner that won't light on this gas stove.
The most used burner is not regularly igniting (front right) with the use of the knob. If I let the gas run for a few seconds and then turn it to light it is possible to get it to fire but that is becoming more difficult. I have tried cleaning everything I could see but that has not helped at all.
I am not sure if it is just the igniter that is bad and it is a cheap fix or it is a more complicated repair with more expensive parts.
All knobs elicit a clicking but this one burner won't light easily.
Any insight appreciated.
Much thanks.

Actually I am wondering if it is as simple as this part:
Kenmore Range/Stove/Oven Spark Electrode WB13K10014
Should I try replacing this first and then the igniter if unsuccessful?
Should I test resistance on these parts to see if they are still functional?

The spark electrode part number you posted is made by GE for GE products. Your range made by Frigidaire. I don't think they are interchangeable. How good is the spark when you turn the knob to the light position? If the spark is really strong then the problem could be clogged lighting hole in the top burner. Try to clean it or just replace the burner. It's absolutely inexpensive. If the spark is weak, the igniter and orifice assembly would need to be replaced. For some reason, Frigidaire would not sell the igniter separately. The top burner Part number: AP2126444
