Barry June 22, 2015 for Model Number Hotpoint RGA720 Hi, When the stove is not being used I can hear the click of igniters sparking on the surface burners every 10 minutes. I actually waited, watched, and timed and at exactly 10 minutes each side sparked. Is this normal (I suspect not) or do I have a spark module issue? Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Barry. No it is not normal and sounds like the harness WB18X31211 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...

1 Answer Hello Dan. Test for power to the igniter. If there is no power there, you may have a bad thermostat WB20K8 on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Mike December 12, 2012 for Model Number jgbs07pehlww i whould like to know if the spark module have any thing to do with the oven lighting we put in a new thermostat and oven is still not lighting
1 Answer Mike, In your case, No, the spark module has nothing to do with the oven burner ignition. When you turn the nre thermostat to a temperature selection, the switch "closes" and sends 120 VAC to the igniter WB13K21, the igniter starts to "glow" and sends voltage (3.2 to 3.6 VAC) to the safety valve, The low voltage at the safety valve, causes the internal switch to open and release the gas, you most likely have a weak or broken igniter, at this point.

1 Answer Hello Peter. Based on the information, it sounds like the thermostat WB20K8 may be bad and will need to be replaced. Read More...
