Ron M. for Model Number SC8836EB0-3 This is a Whirlpool cooktop. The right front burner igniter does not always produce a spark. The other burners have a spark when the ignite function is selected on any burner. The porcelain on the igniter appears okay and there is pulsing voltage coming through the lead to the burner (can't measure how much). Sometimes if a pan is placed on the left front burner the right front burner seems to light more consistently. However, that is not always the case. I did note that the spark on the burners does not always appear blue but rather orange. Is there possibly a ground problem or is it more likely the spark unit? Or am I going in the wrong direction? Thank You, Ron
Answer Hello Ron. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the spark module 12001596 is bad and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Tuesday, February 21, 2012
