Right front ignitor switch not operating, possibly got wet when being cleaned.
The truth....This procedure will take 40 minutes total for the average "mechanic".
You will need a #2 phillips screwdriver and two open end wrenches, 1/2" and 5/8"
AFTER unplugging the power cord AND turning OFF the gas feed:
1-Remove seven phillips head screws from largest rear panel, and remove panel.
2-Disconnect the gas feedline from the manifold with 5/8" open end wrench.
3-Unplug switch "set" ( 2 connectors, one inline and one spade)
4-Open top oven door and remove two hexhead/phillips screws from underside of stovetop, located on far right and far left forward corners.
5-Pull stovetop forward to unlatch from rear holddown clips on frame.
6-Lift stovetop up enough to disconnect five gas burner supply lines from control valves with 1/2" open end wrench.
7-Remove two phillips head manifold attaching screws from topside of control valves (visible after pulling off control valve knobs)...manifold is now free, remove from stove.
8-"Pop off" switches from control valves, and snap new set into place.
9-Install drip shield disks on control valve shafts.
10-Reverse procedure to reassemble stove.
NOTES: 1-Remember to install drip shield disks on control valve shafts before reattaching manifold to stovetop.
2-Check all visible screws for tightness now that the covers are removed, ....you WILL find loose screws...Avoid overtightening/stripping screw holes.

One of the 5 gas top burners electric ignitors didn't work.
I didn't properly diagnose the problem and ordered the switch assembly which is tied to the 5 gas burner control knobs. The part was on backorder for more than a month. When it came it was easy to install by disconnecting the sheet metal top, two front screws and a ground wire at the back. Then removed two rear sheet metal panels, (about 10 phillips head screws.) The new switch assembly pressed over the burners and there were two electrical push on terminals to the module in the back.
The real problem was one of the ceramic ignitors on the burner. The ceramic was chipped underneath and was actually shorting underneath like a bad spark plug. This ultra simple part is outlandishly priced. I repaired it by coating the exposed metal with a high temperature dope which provides enough insulation to make it function again.

Igniter switch shorted out and would not stop "clicking"
This is not a hard fix but don't believe the stories that say it'll take 15 minutes. Took me a little over an hour to uninstall the part - maybe 30 minutes to put it together again. Easy to intermediate fix.
First - kill the power using the circuit breaker, pull out the range from the wall & shut off the gas line. Unscrew two screws on the underside of the rangetop (open the oven door to access) then remove a couple more on top by the knobs. After that the top will lift up a bit. Then disconnect the 5 gas line fittings on the manifold & the main gas fitting into the manifold. Remove the back panel to unplug the wire connected to the switch. Now pull out the manifold that has the igniter switch on top. That's about it. When you look at the existing part you can easily see how the new part attaches to the manifold.
Install part & put everything back together.
The cost was around $46 total - hard to beat that!

I was washing the top of my stove, and shorted my igniter harness, yow!
When I was cleaning my stove-top, water got down into the igniter switches, and shorted them out. After buying the switch harness from Part select, I had some idea how to install it, but thankfully they had online, step by step instructions. That save me a lot of time and trial and error time. It went in perfectly with their instructions. Thank you very very much for all your help! God Bless!

Center Burner would not ignite via the control knob
Turned off the power to the unit and removed the 2 front screws on the stop-top which are underneath the front when you open the oven door. Removed the back cover and removed the 2 screws for the back of the stovetop and removed the top. Took the old igniter switches out and replaced them with the new set. The connections are simple as they are snap in no wiring required. Replace stovetop screws and replace the back cover.

The wires got wet when the knobs were cleaned.
The repair went very easy. Just took out the old set and put the new one in. The most time consuming part was to take off the outer parts of the stove to get to the part I needed to repair. The repair was easier than I had expected.

All of a sudden all 5 igniters started to activate and continued to "click". All knobs were in the off position and no one was using the range at the time. I did notice some water pooling up around one of the knobs, but uncertain if this would have cause it. I did remove power and clean up the water. Would this cause this problem? Possibly the igniter switch assy or spark module?
For model number JDR8895AAS
Hello Eric, thank you for getting in touch. According to our research, the ignitors click when there is food debris or moisture around them. You may need to clean under the knob caps and burners. If the issue still exists, we would recommend checking the following parts to fix your issue: Spark Module, part number PS2086548, Igniter Switch, part number PS2004067, and Spark Ignitor, part number PS11746068. If you require assistance to place an order, please contact customer service. We hope that helps!
Even when the knobs are off, the igniter is sparking like it is trying to light.Would that maybe be the spark module bad?Thanks for any help
For model number JDR8895AAS
Hello Gary, thank you for contacting us. If the spark electrode is not dirty or corroded then it would be the spark module that would be faulty and needing to be replaced. Good luck with the repair!
Two questions.
1) Front Left gas valve does not cause elements to spark. I can turn it on, smell gas, turn any other valve to the ignite position and the front left burner lights. Does the Igniter Switch with Harness solve this problem?
2) The lower oven lock latch is slightly engaged and door does not open more than about half an inch. I can take my finger and move latch to the left and open the oven. I have unplugged and plugged in. What do I need to replace, the door lock assembly?
For model number JDR8895AA2
Hello Charles, Thank you for the questions. For the Left Front Burner, the Igniter Switch with Harness will need to be replaced. For the Lock, this sounds like the Lock motor is defective and not opening properly. The motor for the lock is sold as part of the Door Lock Assembly. We hope this helps!
My wife went to turn on the Range and a different knob started to spark and smoke like burnt plastic I turn off the gas immediately and I haven't touched the knobs since then
For model number Jdr8895aas
Hi Ja, thank you for asking. To fix the issue, you may need to replace the spark ignition switch assembly, part number PS2004067. These switches mount on the surface valve. When the gas burner valve knob is depressed and turned, this part creates a spark that lights the gas and starts the burner. Thank you for your inquiry, good luck with this repair!

are all 5 burner supposed to spark when you only turn one burner on ?
For model number JDR8895AAB
Hi Tom, thank you for getting in touch. Make sure your burner igniter wire connections are not loose and misplaced on the spark module. If this does not issue, we recommend checking the spark module, part number PS2086548. We hope that helps!
