How to Troubleshoot & Replace Ge AP5982406 / WB18T10452 Switch Harness Assembly (Surface Burner Ignition)

Immediately unplugged the gas range, turned off the gas, removed the range and disassembled it. Obviously the harness that controls the gas was damaged so I did a Buick google search and found all of the parts I would need on here. Placed the order and fixed my range 2 days later. 

Took a gamble on separating the glass top from the metal encasing containing the shorted out modules. No videos or explanations for my particular model. The top is held to the bottom by way of 2 #15 torx screws per burner ( 4 total) Once they were out, pried the top from bottom with thinnest putty knife available. Be careful to SLOWLY pry all the way around the unit so you can lift straight up. My burner gaskets were pretty much welded on at this point in its life so order a new set IMHO. Separate the burners from top by gently twisting and pulling up. Next grab the top from middle sides and lift up, it will be sticky but the weight of the bottom metal unit will win. Now you can rest the top back down, separate the burners and lay next to their opening as you need to remove the piezo wires from igniters. Be careful with the porcelain bodies. Now that the burners are removed lift and set top aside. Voila your innards are now exposed to service. It goes without saying that BEFORE you do anything you have shut off gas valve and turned off the breaker. Good luck. 

Watch a video on appliancepartspros.com was able to install The harness switch and spark module. about 45 minutes. 

Purchased a new Harness switch and it is now working fine. 

Followed the instructions on your video, ordered the part from you which came overnight! 

Replaced it was a new harness from ApplianceParts Pros. 

Removed cooktop from counter, braced with boards. removed gas burners, lifted glass top and replaced harness. easy job. only problem was figuring out how to remove glass top ( this is GE glass, gas cooktop). instruction video was only 1/2 helpful. searched about hour on utube to find some help. otherwise, applianceParts is the best for service and complete parts inventory. thanks, george
