Walter for Model Number Maytag CHB9800BAB Two questions: 1) For some time I have used a match to light all four burners on the top of my range. I get spark on all of them but it is usually intermittent on any one burner, and often doesn't seem to light the gas stream even when it sparks several times in a row. I have cleaned the gas ports around each ignitor, also checked for loose wires on all ignitors. Question: does the spark module produce a weaker spark over time, or does it usually work or not work? 2) My range has one high output burner, and I'm afraid that when I removed all of my burners I may have mixed them up. I cant see any difference in them. How can I tell which one is high output? Also, does a high-output burner usually have a high output orifice beneath it? Thanks for your help.
Answer Walter, Yes, spark modules can loose their high voltage output after quite some time,and produce a weak irratic spark. As long as the burner base and area around the burner are clean and moisture free, Repalce the spark module. The high output burner is the right front burner on your range, as long as you did not disturb the orifices or mounting tubes you'll be fine, the burner caps are all the same, the orifices are different.
