Gerard V New Port Richey , FL August 19, 2016 Appliance: KitchenAid Counter Unit, Gas KGCS166GSS2 Kitchenaid Cooktop Kgcs166gss2: The igniter was broken. How to replace Cooktop Electrode Spark Ignitor. I got a new igniter from Appliance Parts Pros and replaced the part in about two hours. You need small fingers and hands to finish the job. Very small area to work in and a small part. But I did the job. Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes
