Julio M Tucson , AZ February 13, 2017 Igniter replacement and overall maintenenance Second repair after 10 years of service - igniter had cracked and spill overs were causing the others to misfire. This was a two-step process. I took apart the cooktop to see what parts were neded. Screws were all rusted, I had to drill ome out. The burner gaskets broke during the process and needed replacement. One of the burners had deformed due to excess heat. After that initial diagnose, I reassembled the cooktop without the igniters and ordered all the parts I needed.

Slid electrical wire onto new igniter. Reassembled the plate to the cooktop. Malfunctioning ignter resolved! Whole repair took about ten minutes with the removal and installing of the sliding ring washer that holds the igniter to the plate being the trickiest part of the repair.
