Customer Questions and Answers for Spark Module (Surface Burner Ignition) by Whirlpool

This spark module controls surface-burner ignition on gas ranges and cooktops. It generates the high-voltage pulses that light the flame when you turn a knob, restoring fast, reliable burner lighting and eliminating constant clicking.

• Sends high-voltage pulses to the burner igniters when a surface knob is turned to ignite the flame
• Coordinates sparking for multiple surface burners
• Failure symptoms can include no spark on all burners, intermittent or weak sparking, or continuous clicking even with flames present
• Replacing a failed module restores proper burner ignition performance

• Disconnect power and shut off the gas supply before servicing
• Access the module, then photograph wiring and transfer leads one at a time to the new module
• Mount securely and ensure igniter leads are fully seated and routed away from heat and sharp edges
• Restore power/gas and verify each burner lights promptly with a strong, consistent spark
