Bob for Model Number 3468xva The front left burner will not spark most of the time. If I light it with a lighter it lights. If I turn it off, after a few seconds, it will spark and light when turned on. Is it the individual burner igniter or the igniter module?
Answer Hello Bob. I would loosen and re-tighten all of the screws holding the burners in place around that burner. You see, usually the cause of the complaint you have is a bad ground caused by a spill or the expansion and contraction of the metal parts where they are attached to one another. If it sparks sometimes, this eliminates the ignitor as the problem and also when the spark module sparks it hits on all of the ignitors wired to that output. If that doesn't do it, remove the screws and polish the pieces where they contact one another. Once you clean up the place where is has lost the ground, sparking will be restored to that burner.
