General Electric Cooktop Switch

The Switch Gas Valve is an OEM part for GE ranges. It is responsible for controlling the flow of gas to the burners, allowing them to ignite and maintain a steady flame for cooking.

Causes of a bad switch gas valve can include wear and tear over time, buildup of debris or grease, or damage from repeated use or accidental impact. These issues can hinder the valve's ability to regulate gas flow effectively.

Symptoms of a bad switch gas valve include:

• Burners not igniting
• Irregular or weak flame
• Gas odor near the stove
• Inconsistent burner performance

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This is the surface burner igniter switch that mounts on the valve stem and closes the circuit to spark the burners when you turn the knob. Replacing a faulty switch restores consistent, reliable ignition on your gas cooktop or range.

• Closes when the knob is turned to send power to the spark module
• Helps resolve intermittent or no spark at one or more burners
• 12 o'clock orientation matches the valve shaft's flat position for proper fit

• Disconnect power and shut off gas before servicing
• Pull off the knob and access the switch from the control panel
• Note wire positions before transfer; replace one switch at a time
• Verify correct shaft orientation (12 o'clock) to match your valve style

This switch mounts on the surface burner gas valve stem and closes the circuit to the spark igniters when you turn the knob. Replace a worn switch to restore reliable ignition and eliminate nuisance or no-click conditions.

• Activates the spark module for the selected burner when the knob is turned
• Common symptoms: no spark/click on that burner, intermittent lighting, or continuous clicking after flame is lit
• Helps correct single-burner ignition issues caused by a failed valve switch
• Typical wear item from use, heat, or moisture exposure around the cooktop

• Disconnect power and shut off gas before servicing
• Remove the burner knob and access the valve/switch at the manifold
• Note wire positions and transfer one at a time to the new switch
• Ensure the switch seats on the valve stem and test for proper spark before reassembly

This switch harness assembly links the cooktop burner knob switches to the ignition circuit so the burners spark when you turn a knob. Replacing a damaged harness restores consistent lighting and can stop intermittent or continuous clicking during use.

• Routes electrical signals from the surface burner switches to the spark module
• Triggers igniters to click when a knob is turned to Lite
• Typical symptoms: no spark on any burner, constant clicking, or sporadic ignition
• Physical clues: heat-damaged insulation, broken connectors, or moisture intrusion

• Disconnect electrical power and shut off gas before servicing.
• Access location varies by model; remove knobs and lift the cooktop or front panel to reach the harness.
• Label or photograph wire routing; transfer connectors one at a time to avoid miswiring.
• Route wires away from sharp edges and hot surfaces; reassemble, restore power, and test each burner.

The Switch/Wire Harness is an OEM part for GE gas cooktops featuring digital controls. It relays input signals between interactive panels and control modules. 

Causes of failure involve physical stress cracks from repeated flexing, pinched wiring compromising conductivity, and insulation degradation over extended use.

Symptoms of a faulty harness include:

• Unresponsive burner/knob selections   
• Inability to adjust flame heights or temperatures accurately
• Intermittent or unstable power to ignition/control systems

This OEM part is also compatible with Hotpoint and RCA gas cooktop models.

This ignition switch controls the spark to your gas burner or oven igniter so burners light reliably when you turn the control. Replacing a faulty switch can restore consistent ignition and safe operation. What it does:

• Sends the electrical/spark signal to the igniter so the burner lights
• Used when a control knob produces a spark to ignite a gas burner
• Common symptom: burner won't light or requires multiple attempts to ignite
• Common symptom: control produces no spark or feels intermittent when turned

• Disconnect power and shut off the gas supply before servicing
• Label and photograph wiring before disconnecting to ensure correct reconnection
• Inspect connector and mounting; test for continuity with a multimeter if troubleshooting

This burner box wiring harness connects the cooktop/oven burner components to the appliance's control systems, restoring reliable ignition and power routing for the burner box area. Use to replace a damaged or burnt harness for safer operation. What it does

• Routes electrical connections between igniters, sensors, switches, and control modules in the burner box
• Restores ignition or heating when a frayed or open harness prevents burners from sparking or heating
• Replaces harnesses with cracked insulation or melted connectors that can cause intermittent operation or arcing
• Helps eliminate electrical shorts and poor contact at connector plugs inside the burner box

• One burner box wiring harness as shown

• Disconnect all power (electrical and gas) before servicing; verify power is off
• Inspect connectors and routing in the burner box, replacing any mounting clips or fasteners if damaged
• Ensure correct connector seating and secure wiring away from high-heat components

This spark switch/simmer burner is the electrical switch that sends spark to a gas cooktop burner, restoring reliable ignition and simmer control for compatible ranges. Replaces a worn or unresponsive burner spark switch. What it does:

• Routes high-voltage spark to the burner so the gas will ignite
• Enables proper simmer flame control and consistent ignition
• Commonly replaced when a burner won't spark, sparks intermittently, or won't light
• Works with the range's control knob and ignition system to start the flame

• One spark switch/simmer burner

• Disconnect power to the appliance and turn off the gas supply before beginning work
• Access typically requires removing the cooktop or control panel; follow your model's service instructions
• Handle electrical connections carefully and replace only with the correct part number

This surface burner valve switch mounts on the gas valve stem and signals the spark module when you turn the knob. Replacing a faulty switch restores consistent clicking and reliable ignition on the affected cooktop burner. What it does:

• Mounts to the surface burner gas valve and closes the ignition circuit when the knob is turned to Lite
• Sends power to the spark module to create the clicking needed to ignite the flame
• Symptoms may include: burner won't spark, intermittent ignition, continuous clicking with knobs off, or a burner lights only when another knob is turned

• One valve switch

• Disconnect electrical power and shut off gas supply; allow the cooktop/range to cool
• Remove the knob and front panel or manifold cover to access the valve area
• Note wire positions, transfer the wires to the new switch, and secure it on the valve stem in the same orientation
• Reassemble, restore power and gas, then test burner ignition
