Gn December 07, 2012 for Model Number ge JGB920SEF2SS Out of 4 spark tips only 3 makes saprk and one with larger burner does not have spark. I switched the wires at the spark module (kool lite harper wyman module 6544g1001c (WB13K25) and I see no spark at burner but spark at module. is spark moduke is bad? can y please help.
1 Answer Hello GN, If you have clicking at the spark module then the ignitor WB13K10012 would be bad. You can check the ignitor continuity. If there is continuity for the ignitor check the continuity of wire from spark module for damaged or broken wire. 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...
Billy L. November 30, 2012 for Model Number GEXL44 The gas oven would not let gas in, so check it found ignitor burnt through,change it,but gas still won't flow through,could control valve be bad ,checked voltage at valve from ignitor side when first turned on get 94vac then goes down to 74vac is this normal I thought it was to be about 3vac at that point can you help?thanks
1 Answer Billy, You're correct, once a bake setting is made and activated, the A/C voltage, should range between 3.2 and 3.6 VAC, across the two wires that are attached to the safety valve(it usually takes 30 to 60 seconds to reach the voltage). You can also remove the wires from the terminals on the safety valve and check for a "closed" circuit across the terminals. If the internal bi metal switch has shorted or "arced" you may get a partial or open circuit. Thanks Read More...
Tina November 26, 2012 for Model Number GE XL44 self cleaning oven When using the right front burner (the main one) at medium to medium high heat, the right rear and left front burners spark continuously. Alternately, when using the right rear burner, the two front burners spark continuously also. Does the spark module need to be replaced? Or is it something more serious? Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Tina, The more serious situation would be no sparking. As it stands, it sounds like you have probably dropped a ground to the surface burners. Think of it like this: When you turn on the gas valve a switch is also activated which turns on the spark module. The spark module starts "clicking". This is where the manufacturer has built in a safety device. This safety device actually makes all of the surface burners "click" at the same time. This is in case an untrained individual services the unit and mis-wires the start switches. If all of the surface burner ignitors "click" at the same time, there is no accumulation of gas in the room that can lead to a small but deadly explosion. The surface burner ignitors have to sense the resistance of the flame so the spark module will stop "clicking". If the ground is lost to the main top, as a safety measure, the ignitors will continue to spark to prevent the gas accumulation in the room since they aren't seeing the flame resistance. To correct the issue, the top of the unit will need to be disassembled and all metal to metal surfaces that screw together will need to be cleaned, (sandpaper does the job great). This will restore the ground connect to the top and stop the clicking. If the issue only occurred on one surface burner, you would need to access the start switch on the gas valve for the particular surface burner and test the surface burner and replace if necessary.

Kenny November 18, 2012 for Model Number Kenmore - 3627556190 By the using the volt/ohm meter how do we check the spark electrode to know if it is good or defective?
1 Answer Hello Kenny, You can test the continuity of the spark electrode for the top burners by going tip to tip. If the ignitor is not working then you want to to check to see if it has cracks or if it is broken. 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...
Kenny November 04, 2012 for Model Number Kenmore - 3627556190 What type of reading comes from the spark module to the spark electrode? Is it AC or DC and what is the value (amount)?
1 Answer Hello Kenny, The spark module WB13K25 puts out High Voltage that cannot be read with a standard test meter. It puts out over 10KVac to each ignitor. Without a high voltage probe, this cannot be read. It will damage a standard volt/ohm meter. Read More...
Nathan October 20, 2012 for Model Number jgbp35ded3ww Hi my range control panel or main control board are not working. I would like to buy this control panel. please advise.
1 Answer Hi Nathan, your control board or clock is part# WB27T10350. The control panel WB36K10098 is just trim. The overlay WB27K10011 for your clock is just a touchpad and is not electrical. The part number you posted this message on is the spark module [WB13K25]. Hope this helps! Read More...
Steve October 11, 2012 for Model Number 36275889890 kenmore All four top igniters quit at same time. Is this a spark module problem?
1 Answer Hello Steve. Check and see if the wiring is bad on the unit. If the wiring is good, then you could have a bad spark switch WB24K10003 or a bad spark module WB13K25 on the unit. Read More...
Linda W. June 11, 2012 for Model Number jgbp35wev4nn I just recently bought a stove and the control for the oven tempature is not working so I am unable to use my oven.GE profile xl44
1 Answer Hello Linda. It sounds like the timer WB12K05 is bad and will need to be replaced. This part has been permanently discontinued by the manufacturer and we don't know of any source or replacement for the part. Read More...
Michael June 11, 2012 for Model Number AP2020570 i have a GE Profile cooktop.Even the gas top is not turned on, one burner (actually the spark module) is sparking constantly. and intermittently for other three. I disconnected all the wires to all the four nobs but the spark module is still sparking. Is the problem on the spark module, AP2020570?
1 Answer Hello Michael. Yes, if the spark switches are unhooked, you will need to replace the spark module WB13K25. Read More...
Eric June 04, 2012 for Model Number GE XL44 I have a GE XL44. All 4 of my stove top burners and my oven do not lite. All problems started at once. Would the spark module AP2020570 also fix my issue with my oven not lighting?
1 Answer Hello Eric. No, the spark module WB13K25 is only used for the cooktop, not the oven. You may have a weak igniter in the oven and will need to replace the igniter. If the igniter glows, but the unit does not lite, try tapping the side of the gas valve and see if it lites. If so, replace the igniter, it is weak. Read More...
