Charles A. December 01, 2012 for Model Number JGP989BK288 I have model JGP989BK288. The igniter does not stop sparking.
1 Answer Hello Charles, When only one surface burner isn't working, it is normally because of a dropped ground. The ignitor has to have a good ground to spark to, as you know the circuit has to be complete back to ground. The cook top is made up of multiple steel parts, all screwed together. The way I usually restore normal operation is to remove all of the parts that are screwed together and use a piece of 120 grit sand paper to "clean" the surfaces that contact to complete the ground up to the ignitor area. Since you have a glass cook top, the unit will have to be pulled from its' installation and the glass top removed to find the point where the ground has lost contact. Sometimes, just tightening the screws will work, but this is pretty much a temporary fix. If you want it to fix the issue, you will go to the trouble listed above. Read More...
Jim November 11, 2011 I have GE gas cooktop JGP328WEC2WW. The rear left burner is not working. When I turn the knob I can only hear the clicks but see no sparks (I see all other three burners have sparks). I tried changing the ignitor from other good burners but results are the same. So I think it is not ignitor problem. What part went wrong in my cooktop? Thanks.
1 Answer Jim, You most likely have a bad spark module, or a broken damaged igniter wire. This time switch the igniter wires, not the igniter, and see if the symptom travels to the other burner. Good Luck and Thanks Read More...
1 Answer Hello Weimin. This appears to be a standard press-fit igniter. Removing the old one should be as simple as pulling upward on the white body of the igniter. When you pull the old one up you should see the wire attached to it. Pull this wire out of the old igniter and push it into the new one. If you cannot access the wire, you may need to remove the screws attaching the main cook top and lift the top up to access the electrical innards. I hope this info helps! Read More...
John March 27, 2011 for Model Number JGB920wec1ww Hi, I have one ignitor on my propane stove that is not igniting. Do you think this new ignitor will solve my problem. Thanks,
1 Answer Hello John. It's possible that the igniter could be bad. It's also possible the the spark switch part number WB24K10002 could be bad too. Hope this helps. Read More...
1 Answer The lp orifices can be WB28T10017 and WB28K10288. The unit I searched under shows to have to different sizes of burners a large and small. Read More...
