The Spark Module is an OEM prat for Whirlpool brand gas ranges. Within the gas control, it functions to generate high-voltage sparks igniting the standing pilot lights and burner flames.
Causes of failure include normal wear of internal electronics from extensive temperature cycling. Contamination or damage over time also disrupts proper sparking.
Symptoms of a faulty module include:
- Standing pilots failing to remain lit between use
- Burners not igniting when the control knob is turned
- Inconsistent burner output or shutdowns during cooktop usage
This Whirlpool replacement ensures temperature adjustments and cooking functions operate reliably. Compatible replacements are suitable for Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, and some Kenmore appliances as well.
