Please see
https://inspectapedia.com/electric/Zinsco_Electrical_Panels.php ZINSCO SYLVANIA ELECTRICAL PANELS
and you will see that your electrical panel is unsafe and should be replaced, not repaired.

I have a Zinsco Electrical Panel. It is missing the plate that secures the breakers. This plate fastens with 4 screws at the corners, and would have knockouts for 18 breakers. This panel was placed in the 1960's, and while I am careful, I know the panel will be safer with this plate in place. Where might I find such a plate? Thank you. I can mail photos to you, if that is helpful.

Please try all of the suggestions found at GAS COOKTOP IGNITER REPAIR https://inspectapedia.com/Appliances/Gas_Stove_Igniter_Repair.php and then let me know how those worked or tell me what happened.

I have a Wolf gas range. The two heavily used front burners spark and ignite normally. Both lightly used back burners spark irregularly and usually do not ignite the burner. All four burner controls effectively start the sparking and control the gas to the appropriate burner. I first replaced the igniter and wires and cleaned up the connections to the poorest performing rear burner to no effect. Next I replaced the igniter module and the new one behaves exactly the same as the old one. Finally I cleaned and polished the ground path which also made no difference. I have talked to others and this does not seem to be a rare problem. What is the solution? Thanks. Dale

Looks like water damage and possibly mold growing under the coating on a flooring material.

What do you think this is? It’s so weird looking and it’s on the floor. Thanks.
