Pat M. August 26, 2012 for Model Number Thermador SGSCV36GS cooktop I believe we had a surge or other electrical event at our house while we were gone. Several breakers had tripped including the cooktop. After I reset it, I noticed that the two left burners will not light at all, no gas, no ignition clicks or anything. The right two burners will light but the ignition clicks never stop and there is a constant hum (never heard before) while they are on. Any ideas?
1 Answer Hello Pat, This sounds like the spark module took a hit. The spark module is the part that kicks up the voltage to jump the ignitor gap to ignite the gas. The best way to test to see if the spark module requires replacement is to open the top to gain access to the spark module and swap the ignitor wires to the opposite terminals. Now this is the output. Do not cross the wires for the 120Vac input. You need to also mark the wires before swapping them so they can be returned to the original positions. If the spark module is at fault, the other ignitors will now be sparking. If the same ones spark, the module is not the issue, but you will have a wiring or grounding issue. From the humming sound you described, I'll really be surprized if the issue isn't the spark module. Read More...
Leo Lech July 25, 2012 for Model Number thermador RDSS3RS My burners (all four) sometimes do not spark. Especially if i try to turn another another one on as soon as I have lit the first one. All electrode to cap paths are clean. Sounds like the spark module?
1 Answer Hello Leo, First off, check all of your grounds. Any spills around a ground can cause an issue. Next, I would check the start switches. If you find no issues with these things, order the spark module. Read More...
Leonard February 07, 2012 for Model Number Therador CD456UB Three ignitors work fine but the front right large burner (most used) does not. All four normally fire together and moving a grounded screwdriver very near the bad one gets a very short spark (less than 1/16 inch). Your site lists a 6 output module is this also used for my model? Second question is how do you remove the bottom pan to get at the module. Are components inside mounted to this pan or to the burner panel.
1 Answer Hello Leonard! According to your model CD456UB yes, the spark module is part number 00753257. Thanks! Read More...
Gint December 22, 2011 for Model Number PRG366 Thermador My range top originally sparked randomly at all times of the day and night, especially when the oven was on. I replaced the spark module and the left rear ignitor. While it appears the random sparking at odd times is gone, a hot oven still starts the sparking on the range top. The sparking usually stops after about 15 seconds, but occasionally I need to cycle the circuit breaker to turn off the sparking. Where else do I need to look? What else might need to be replaced?
1 Answer Hi Gint. It sounds like you have the positive wire and the negative wire reversed on the spark module when you reinstalled it. Check the module with a magnifying glass for a positive mark and a negative (-) mark. The white goes on the negative terminal (or neutral), the black wire goes to the positive. If this is OK, then the same goes with the house outlet. The outlet terminals can be reversed and not polarity correct. The narrower terminal will be the black wire attached to the brass screw. The white wire should be attached to the silver color screw (neutral at the wide female terminal). This should stop the sparking. Let us know how we can assist. you further. Thank You. Read More...
Vance October 22, 2011 for Model Number ggs30w Left burners don't light. No ignitor sound, no gas flow. Sometimes left rear will light but goes out 30 sec. later after rapid clicking sound and flame rapidly flickers. Left front does the same if I turn the knob all the way between lo and xlo but then goes out and doesn't try to relite. Right side burners work fine is it the spark module or simmer control that I need.
1 Answer Hi Vance. Make sure all burner caps have a "clean" spark path for the igniter to ground to. Use a small wire brush to clean contact points of the cap. The igniter itself need to ohm close to 0- .1 ohms , closed. Part # is 00189324. You need to gain access to the burner switches and check all connections. There is a wire harness you can get also, part # is 00189976. Burner wires carry 120 vac so make sure of your safety and remove power. Make sure all your orifices are not clogged. The burner switches are part # 00428049. Finally the spark module is part # 00753257. Thank You. Read More...
Doug October 20, 2011 for Model Number Thermador prds304 All the ignitors have stopped working when the stove top is turned on. I still get gas flow and can light burners with match or lighter and I can't find a fuse on the stove. Do I need a spark module?
1 Answer Hello Doug. If there is power coming to the spark module, and none coming out, you will need to replace the spark module 00753257. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Question October 04, 2011 for Model Number Thermador Gas Cooktop GG30 For 3 of the 4 burners, when I turn any of them on the flame comes on fine but the clicking doesn't stop. On 1 burner this doesn't happen and the flame comes on fine and the clicking stops. The clicking on each of the others only stops when I turn the knob(s) back to off. Just to be clear, they are all igniting fine (the flame comes on) but the clicking (the ignitor?) doesn't stop even after the burner is lit. Help please.
1 Answer Hello Question. Make sure the ignitors are clean and burners are clean. If so, you will need to replace the spark module 00636439. Hope this helps. Read More...
Diana August 20, 2011 for Model Number SGSCV36GB Igniter continues to spark even with control knob off what part do I need to fix?
1 Answer Hi Diana. Try unplugging the 120vac plug and plug it in upside down. If the plug is not polorized correctly then it will spark uncontrollably. The L-1 (smaller slot -blk wire) of the receptacle has to be positive voltage. The neutral (lg. slot -white wire) of the receptacle has to be negative. If that is not the issue, then replace the spark module kit part # is 00753257. Thank you. Read More...
Angela July 16, 2011 for Model Number PCS364GLUS Only one side of my gas stove is working, it seems to have no gas and does not spark. What could this mean?
1 Answer Hi Angela. By the description you provide, you need the spark module.This is part # 00753257. Thank you. Read More...
1 Answer Hi Paul. In your Use and Care Guide that came with your oven will explain this under "oven controls". If I understand it correctly, then your range is L.P. If you are asking correctly on how to just adjust the oven burner flame,then remove the thermostat knob. Get a very long thin blade and hold the stem of the shaft. Insert the screwdriver and turn the inner shaft to adjust the oven flame. I hope this helps. Thank you. Read More...
