Greg R Longview , TX January 09, 2015 Appliance: Amana Gas Cooktop AKS30WW Amana Cooktop Aks30ww / P1142501n W: Igniter sparked but burner would not light igniter ceramic was chipped. How to replace Top Burner Igniter. I already had the old igniter removed, so I installed the new igniter into the flame spreader ring, locked it in place with the lock washer, and plugged it in the the control wire. This took five minutes. Now the burner works fine. Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes
