It's been a long time since I thought about this. I was having an issue recently that I think was probably just water in an igniter (overflow or from a pot put back on the stove to dry after cleaning). I'd been meaning to check back and remind myself what I did and maybe update if I change something out. I did notice that the screws attaching the igniters were pretty corroded. That may have been a bad material choice on my part. My quick and dirty troubleshooting would be to trade igniters from a working burner to a nonworking burner to decide between module and igniter. If the same burner still doesn't work, you might also check out the wiring to see if it's been pinched or otherwise has a problem. That's my mute-the-work-conference-call-and-type-real-quick response.

slightly off topic, but still connected with ergonomics... 1) I am unhappy with "farm" sinks that have a cold front panel to lean into when doing dishes or washing veggies. I find myself holding back, which makes the lean forward an even bigger back-killer, plus I'm not relaxed because I'm worried about touching that cold sink front. I decided to put in a regular sink, not a self-front-panel one. 2) I have a popup camper trailer with built-in countertops of a sort, but they are very low, as low as the camper bottom section. In order to work in it, I bought two folding bed trays, the kind for breakfast in bed. They were in a department store, cheap but useful. I elevate the dishpan, the cutting surface, whatever. Very handy and it might help someone with similar issues in a house kitchen. 3) I read somewhere that the new deeper sink trend is a response to people's desire to camouflage dirty dishes in an open-architecture kitchen. If you are embarrassed to have a working kitchen, build a wall between it and your table. Don't compromise your back!

If you want to use a medicine cabinet I would probably stay with the 24 inch and use side lights. You'll need to keep in mind that a bar light above the medicine cabinet will need to extend enough to clear the depth of the cabinet, so finding such a light may be difficult. There are cabinets that have built-in lights so you may want to look at those. Check these out. If you choose a cabinet with built-in lights, I'd go with a wider than 24" cabinet. Other option: keep the light fixture you have and put in a framed, or unframed mirror that is a little wider than the lights. Here are some visuals.

Thank you for that picture! That helps me picture the set up. And thanks again for starting this thread. I hope I'm not hijacking too much. Fwiw, I asked my GC if he could build a removable shelf to accommodate a taller refrigerator in the future.. I plan to store cutting boards there. We haven't started yet so I can't say how that will work out but he didn't seem to think it would be a problem. I actually have left 39 inches in my plan for a 30 inch refrigerator. That accounts for the cabinetry box around the space so I guess the actual space would be a 37 inch opening? I thought I'd need an extra inch or two to be able to get a new refrigerator in if necessary. Does that seem right or maybe excessive? I wonder if I could reasonably plan on 33 inch refrigerators being around and trim the refrigerator space down to 35 inches? All extra inches can go to the drawer stack next to the refrigerator as our cabinet line comes in just about any size.
