Switching from private to Medicare after retirement

I retired 12/25 at FRA, am collecting social security, and am currently on my husband’s employer health plan. I am enrolled in Medicare Part A only now because it was cheaper to move to husband’s plan - I pay about $280/month for my share of his health plan. He is planning to switch to part-time work with the same employer sometime in 2027, either April or November (has not decided yet). My cost share of his healthcare plan will be much more than I currently pay because the rates are higher for part-time employees, so at that time I’d like to switch to Medicare B with a supplemental plan. Can I do that without any problem or penalty?

Viking cooktop igniter clicking

Our Viking gas stove recently began malfunctioning. Three burners function properly. When we turn on the left front burner, however, that burner will light properly, but the igniter for the right back burner all other burners begins firing/clicking, won’t stop. The right back burner works fine when it’s used - only problem is when the left front is turned on.

I’ve cleaned up everything, wire brushed the burners and igniters with no success. Do we need to replace the igniters? Or something else? Believe this issues began immediately after housecleaner did the kitchen. Wondering if they used excessive water or something?

Edit - didn’t notice that all other igniters were firing when lighting front left.
