Symptom
Miele gas burner will not light
The appliance will tell you nothing about this — Miele publishes no code for its gas surfaces — so the whole diagnosis is in what the burner does, and the questions on the phone are more detailed for a gas call than for an electric one.

Four ordinary causes
What this usually turns out to be
Cheapest and commonest first, which is also the order we check them in. They sit hundreds of dollars apart, and only the unit settles which one is yours.
-
The cap seated wrong
After a clean. The spark then jumps to metal rather than gas.

Blocked ports
Something boiled over and dried in the ring. A lazy flame first, no flame later.

A wet or cracked electrode
It clicks perfectly and produces a spark that will not carry.

Flame sensing
The burner lights, the control does not see it, and the valve shuts. That is the version that dies a few seconds in.

How it shows up
What people describe when they call
A shortcut
Narrow it down before anybody arrives
A description of the behaviour leaves a few possible causes. A code names the subsystem before anybody opens anything, which is why it is worth photographing before it clears.

About Miele gas burner will not light
The fastest diagnosis is the code
Take the burner cap off and put it back squarely — it seats one way only, and a cap a fraction out of place after cleaning is the single most common cause. Then check the ports around the ring are clear and dry.
The half of this appliance that says nothing
Everything electric on this make reports a number. The gas surfaces report nothing at all, on any model — so there is no code to look up and the whole diagnosis is built from what the burner does. Which burners, on which settings, whether it clicks, whether it holds, and what happened just before it started.
The one that is free
A cap seated a fraction out of place after cleaning is the most common cause of this complaint on any sealed gas burner, and it costs nothing to rule out. Lift it, dry it, and put it back squarely.
