1 Answer Jay, The manufacturer has discontinued the part. The manufacturer no longer sells the part. We can no longer get it from any of our suppliers. There is no substitute for the part available to us, and we don't know of any other source for the part. You may want to try contacting local parts dealers, one of them might still have it in stock. Enter your part number in a search engine, a smaller company might have it. Try eBay, Amazon or similar sites. Search by using the manufacturer's part number. Try a used appliance store, sometimes they have the same model or usable part for your machine. Contact refurbishing companies, they may have access to the part or reasonable replacement part. Thanks, Read More...
John April 10, 2019 for Model Number Gaggenau VG223-8__ The spark plugs generate week spark to ignite the flame. Should I replace the spark plugs, or the ignition transformer? please advise. Thanks.
1 Answer John, You should check and carefully clean the igniter electrodes, check to make sure there is a good ground to the cooktop, and the burner bases and caps are clean, have no rust/corrosion and installed properly. If all's OK, replace the 00156169 / 00156169 Spark Module, Kg 223. Unfortunately the part is no longer available from the manufacturer. We can no longer get it from any of our suppliers. There is no substitute for the part available to us, and we don't know of any other source for the part. You may want to try contacting local parts dealers, one of them might still have it in stock. Enter your part number in a search engine, a smaller company might have it. Try eBay, Amazon or similar sites. Search by using the manufacturers part number. Lastly, try a used appliance store, sometimes they have the same model useable part for your machine, or access to a different part source or refurbishing organization. Thanks, Read More...
Gary M. July 24, 2013 for Model Number KG 223-8 Gaggenau Spark Module I get no clicks when I press either of the two left valve handles down. I have to lite the burners with a match. I'm not an appliance tech. I'm a reasonably handy attorney. If you think there's a reasonable chance that I could replace the spark module and that replacement would solve the problem, I'll buy one.
1 Answer Hello Gary, The you should look at is the start switches (AP2803422) for the two burners that are not operational. The reason is that if the other side is working, the spark module has been proven good. The start switches send voltage to the spark module on the same terminals regardless of which valve has been turned on. This can be seen in the wiring diagram on our site. The spark module is designed to fire all ignitors with each "click". For this reason, the start switches for those burners have most likely failed. After looking up the start switch for you, I noticed that these are no longer available and the manufacturer has left no satisfactory substitution. Read More...
Steve B June 30, 2012 for Model Number Gaggenau KG 103-8... Is there any sort of mounting bracket for the Bosch Spark Module, Kg 223 (Part Number: AP2803344)? The original module was bolted to the rear panel of the hob through two integral mounting flanges; the replacement module has no such flanges, so there is no obvious way to mount it, and it seems a bit sketchy to just leave it loose...
1 Answer Hello Stev. There is no bracket for the module 00156169, but you can use a small zip tie to mount the module in the unit. Read More...
