Description

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

What's included:

• One valve switch

Install notes:

• 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

This part fixes the following symptoms

• Won't start
