The Spark Module is an OEM part for GE cooktops. Located within the cooktop's control unit, this module is responsible for generating electric sparks to ignite the burners. Consisting of electronic components and wiring, the spark module works with other systems to reliably and safely light the gas or electric burners.
Symptoms of a bad spark module include:
- Burners not lighting or lighting intermittently
- Repeated flashing of the burner indicator lights
- Clicking or buzzing sounds coming from the control unit
Causes of a failed spark module can be exposure to moisture, dust or debris accumulating inside the control unit over time as well as mechanical or electrical degradation of the ignition components.
This genuine OEM GE replacement part is also compatible with some Kenmore cooktop models that use GE's control systems.
