John K Washington , DC March 11, 2017 Appliance: General Electric Gas Range JGBP86SEM1SS Ge Range Jgbp86sem1ss: One burner igniter failed on 5 burner ge stove. How to replace Top Burner Spark Electrode. A word of caution - Due to not fully analyzing the situation upfront, I ultimately replaced more parts than necessary. So don't forget to check the spark module (the little electronic gadget that powers all the igniters), rather than jumping to the conclusion that the individual igniter or associated igniter cord is the problem (as I mistakenly did). Still, even with those additional replacements, the repair proved quick and easy thanks to the wide stock and helpful videos of APP. Plus the repair was less expensive than a single visit from a service tech would have been. Basically, I first replaced the individual burner igniter and the individual cord leading to the burner igniter. Upon realizing the problem still persisted even after those replacements, I then checked the spark module and determined it was actually the source of the problem. Replacing it resolved the problem with the burner. Each parts replacement had an accompanying video at APP, which confirmed the simple steps while emphasizing the necessary cautions of working on a stove, namely disconnecting gas and power while completing the work. 4 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 1-2 hours
