Top Burner Spark Ignition Electrode with Retaining Clip

Hi Joe, Thank you for the question.To check the switch assembly you need to turn the gas off to range and with valve open check for continuity on the switches. If there is continuity then check the wiring to the spark module for broken or damaged wires. If they are good then replace the spark module. To replace the module, Turn off the gas supply and disconnect power to the range. Open the oven door and remove the racks from the oven.Next pull the range out so that you can access the back of the unit. Then remove the left side panel. To remove the spark module you need to disconnect the wire connectors from the module terminals. Then remove the mounting screw. Slide the module out from under the tab, and remove it from the housing. Reverse the steps to reinstall. To replace the switches,Turn off the gas supply and disconnect power to the range. You will need to remove the burner grates and the burner assembly's, they just lift off. Remove the two screws at each burner hole to disconnect the burner tubs. On the side panels use a flat head screw driver to pry up to release the retaining clips. Slowly lift the top watching you to not pull or damage any wires. You will need a piece of wood or something to support the top and keep it propped open. Next remove the knobs from the control panel and remove the two screws at each of of the panel and the two screws on the bottom of the panel, and pull the panel straight off. You will be able to see the switch assembly. The switches just pull off the valve shaft. Follow the red and black wire to the back corner of the stove. Disconnect the red wire from the module and the black from a plastic connector, You will just need to squeeze and pull them apart. Next remove the wires from the hook clips holding them to the side of the appliance.The reverse the steps to reinstall the new switch harness. Hope this helps!

Hello Carolyn, Thank you for the question. If all of the burners have stopped operating at the same time, I suggest replacing the Spark Module, PartSelect Number PS11742616. This spark module uses a high voltage spark discharge to the switch to ingnite the gas for the cooktop burners. Thank you for your inquiry, good luck with this repair!

Hello Carolyn, Thank you for contacting us. You can test the module with a multi meter to see if it has continuity as well before replacing. Hope this helps!
