Everett O. September 05, 2015 for Model Number kenmore 5812001 The spark modules quit working on oven and all four burners at the same time. There is plenty gas coming to the burners but no spark. What do I need to check or replace?
1 Answer Hello Everett, I'm sorry but we need you to verify the model number from the units' I.D. tag. There may be addition numbers before the decimal point in different font. This sounds like you probably have a bad start switch harness, These are the switches on the surface gas valves. They are in series and all connect through the same harness so it would be the first suspect. It is also possible that the spark module has failed. Read More...
Greg August 25, 2015 for Model Number JGP337WEJ2WW My cook top sends out a spark every 1 minute or so, I changed the ignition module and replaced electrodes to no avail, replaced another module thinking I got a bad one and still the same. I reviewed the switches and they all look good but my next step is to replace them. When I plugged multi-meter on ac-hot and neutral at the module, I got readings of up to 250mVAC when the module discharged and then volts would drop down approx. 100mVA and continue to rise to 250, discharge again and so on (this is happening while no switch is turned on). When you turn each knob the module works properly discharging at a normal rate every few seconds. Any idea what could cause this,
1 Answer Hello Greg. First check for bad wiring on the unit causing it to ground out. If it is good, you will need to go to the spark switches on the unit next. 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...
Johniem December 27, 2014 for Model Number JGBP79WEB2WW My oven would not ignite. I read the manual, removed the cook top to look for and check the safety switch on the pressure control valve. It was not there. I cleaned the area and removed the warming tray to find the safety switch and it was ok. I replaced the igniter on the oven and that took care of the oven issue. But...the burners failed to spark when turned to the lite position. There was no clicking to ignite the burners. This was not an issue before I tried to "fix" the oven. So I replaced the spark module and the burners will still not ignite, no clicking when turned to the lite position. What should I do next? John
1 Answer Johniem, You will want to check the ignition switch wires to ensure that they are firmly attached to the spark module. If this checks ok then do a continuity test of the ignition switches. In the lite position they should have continuity. If not then the issue will be the switch. Read More...
Steve October 29, 2014 for Model Number Kenmore 362.61020 One burner igniter won't work. Upon examination, there was a worn place on the wire going to that spark module. I fixed that with a crimper and splice but still no spark. Is it possible that the module could fair for just one spark igniter and not the other three? Thanks
1 Answer Steve, It is quite possible for the spark module to fail for 1 igniter not working but still work for the other 3. You will want to inspect the igniter for cracked insulation but also test the ignition switch on the burner valve to make sure that the switch has continuity when in the light position. If these check ok then replace the spark module. Read More...
Man0fsteel October 20, 2014 for Model Number JGP626WEV5WW I have an older GE cooktop with 4 gas burners. The ignition spark started getting weak on all 4 burners, then got intermittent, and then stopped working altogether (no clicking sound at all) in the span of about a week. Is there a way to know if this is the spark module (my guess) or a bad spark switch?
1 Answer Manof Steel, With all of them going out at one time, this issue would be more likely to be the spark module WB13K25 then the ignition switches. You can test the ignition switches in the light position for continuity and if there is continuity then they are good. Read More...
Gfactor August 19, 2014 I accidentally plugged in spectra xl44 into a 220V electric source. The oven control lights(on the touch pads) came up for some seconds and then went off and I perceived a smell. And the oven control lights never came up since and the has stopped working. Pls I need suggestions. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Gfactor. You need to check all the wiring and replace the control board on the unit. Read More...
Theresa October 30, 2013 for Model Number GE xl44 The control module is completely dead, no lights of any kind. Does this mean the module needs replaced?
1 Answer Hello Theresa. Test for power to the control board. If there is power there and the board odes not work, replace the control board 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...
Jerry July 04, 2013 for Model Number jgbp35wew1ww Only 1 and sometimes 2 of the ignitor electrodes spark when turning on any of the valves to light. Removing the burner heads, I can hear the burner spark module click. All of the spark electrodes are clean as well as the burner heads. When putting on the burner heads, one at a time, only the RF will spark fairly consistently. Sometimes even it will not spark, especially if it is warm, like it was on a few minutes ago. The RR burner head sparks intermittently, and the LF and LR will not spark at all now. The electrodes are clean and do not seem to be worn at all. This problem has been getting gradually worse over the last year. I have cleaned the ends of the electrodes and the burner heads, and they are spotless. I have pushed the burner heads to the side to make sure they come in contact with the air-gas mixing tube, which is also spotless and shiny, to make firm electrical contact to no avail. the question is, would it be the ignitors or the module, or the wires between the tow?
1 Answer Jerry, The issue sounds more like it would the spark module that would be causing the issue. It is possible that the wires could be faulty but would suspect the spark module. Read More...
Mano June 23, 2013 for Model Number JGP337SEJ3SS Hello, I had posted a question in this regard, but had included the wrong model number. All the burners are functional but one of the burners (left rear), makes a single clicking sound every 5 minutes, regardless of its state, On or Off. I have verified that the clicking is due to a single spark on this burner. Was wondering if the problem is caused by a faulty spark module, or is related to the ignitor switch or something else? Thanks again in advance for your help.
1 Answer Mano, You will want to do a continuity test on the ignition switches to see if there are any that show continuity. If a switch shows continuity in the off position then the switch is faulty. If they do not show continuity then the spark module would be the issue. Read More...
Karen M June 12, 2013 for Model Number GE XL44 When you set the oven to BROIL and set the temperature to BROIL, nothing happens. What part is necessary to fix it?
1 Answer Hello Karen. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the control is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
