4.89 (64)
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: OEM12030111
Manufacturer Part Number: 12001596

The Spark Module Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. It is responsible for generating the spark needed to ignite the gas burners on the cooktop. The spark module sends electrical signals to the igniters, creating the spark that lights the gas for cooking. 

Over time, the spark module can fail due to electrical issues, exposure to moisture, or normal wear and tear. When the spark module becomes faulty, it can lead to various problems with igniting the burners.

Symptoms of a bad spark module include:

  • Burners not lighting or taking a long time to light
  • No clicking sound when turning the burner knob
  • Burners only lighting intermittently
  • Visible sparks or arcing from the module

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

NOTE: This part is only compatible with serial numbers starting with 21 and up on model 8351VV.

Hi Nick. On a unit this old, it's do able, chances are you're going to need some additional burner parts and whichever switches or wires you find damaged/shorted out. Basically, you're going to need to remove the burner knobs, grates and caps. You will then need to remove the three(3) small phillips head screws holding the burner drip pan to the burner base(the screws will probably snap off), you can then lift the glass top off the burner box(you will probably need a putty knife to help unstick the glass). Lift the glass off and you'll have access to all the ignition switches , ignition wiring and spark module 12001596 You may want to order more than 1 (one) switch in case, AP4089539 screws, at least 12 of those and both glass seals 8270P088-60 and 12400021, 12400008 It sounds worse than it is, its actually a pretty simple & easy repair. Thank You.
