Kelly February 25, 2022 for Model Number JGP989BC4BB The left front burner randomly sparks by itself. I have cleaned the burner and the ignitor and unplugged them for a while to see if that would make a difference. I'm not sure if that could be the spark ignitor or the spark module or should I just replace them both. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Kelly, You will need to replace the switch harness assembly WB24X10068 to correct this issue. I'm sorry but this part has been discontinued by the manufacturer and no satisfactory substitutions have been provided. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. Read More...
Justin June 27, 2021 for Model Number 362.74221300 I have an older Kenmore Gas Range. The model number is 362.74221300. I have a couple of problems with it and am in search of parts for it and their numbers so I can order them. On your site, it does not show the breakdown and parts of oven like it normally does. So I am having a hard time finding what I need and the part numbers so I can order them. My first problem is my burners do not light on the stove. so I am looking for a burner spark electrode for my model range and if you have the number so I can order them and I need a spark module and if you have that number also so I can order it. The second problem I am having is that the control gas valve or knob for the broil and bake control on the range, one of them is messed up and the setup is very weak and loose. So I am looking for the control gas valve part for the broil and bake switch and the numbers if you have them so I can order the part and lastly the knob that fits on the valve for broil and bake control I need the number for the knob also. So it is four parts i need numbers for so i can order parts. I hope you can help me out. Thanks so very much for your time.

Joseph June 25, 2021 for Model Number JGBP30WEA6WW My burner on top right back dont light.Even though the spark is working every few seconds.What is wrong
1 Answer Hello Joseph, if the burner is getting gas flow when turned on and there is a spark at the burner's ignitor and the burner is not lighting check the burner base openings are clean, especially to the ignitor side and that the cap is sitting on the burner base correctly. Read More...
Dave B. January 18, 2021 for Model Number JGS750DEF4BB All 5 burners have spark. One of the 5 only lights intermittently. I swapped a working electrode and wire for the one that was intermittent and the problem still exists on the same burner (largest one). There is spark but I don't know if its the switch/harness that is bad on that one burner or if its something else. Can you offer me any direction please? Dave
1 Answer Dave, Based on the description provided check the burner for stopped up holes that lead the gas to the spark (should be right behind the electrode in the side of the burner) Read More...
Tom September 13, 2020 for Model Number ZGU375NSD2SS I’m having a burner ignition problem. I have disassembled all burners and cleaned them thoroughly. When I turn on a cooktop burner I get sparking but it is intermittent in strength. Sometime strong blue and flame starts fine. Sometime less strong orange/white spark and burner doesn’t start. It seems to move around to different burners randomly. Is the the spark igniters or the spark module or something else entirely? Parts are expensive so I don’t want to buy parts I don’t need. Thank you for your help! Regards, Tom
1 Answer Hello Tom, from your description, the problem most likely is that the spark wires are degrading, unfortunately, the spark wire harness (WB18X10169) is no longer available from the manufacturer. Read More...
Sunita May 18, 2020 My model # jgbp35 of ge gas range. All 4 burners are not sparking. I was told its spark module. Where in my module this is back or in front under the burners. Also one of the burner screw is stripped. Please help
1 Answer Sunita, The spark module should be behind the control panel. If no burners are sparking and 120VAC is supplied to the spark module when any switch is turned to light then the module needs to be replaced. WB13K25 Read More...
Arthur April 09, 2020 for Model Number Model Number KitchenAid KGRT507BAL1 gas range Thanks for your quick response to my inquiry. As you advised, I have checked the functionality of the burner switches and found them to be functional. That is, I disconnected the 2 leads and ran an ohmmeter/ continuity check and found all would break continuity on off position, and have continuity when turned to the on. All were identically operational. Also, one thing I have noticed is I have 2 burners that function, one, consistently, the other iffy. But, when I operate the other 2 burners, the functional burners would still spark, though of course not light, as there is no gas. However, the burners in question had no spark what so ever. I have a brand new spark module as you had advised previously, and new igniters. Also, there is a spark at the igniters on all high voltage outputs. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Arthur, It sounds like you either have a couple of bad electrodes/ignitors WP3185804 or you need to replace the high tension wiring to those surface ignitors 3190058. I'm sorry but this part 3190058 has been discontinued by the manufacturer and no satisfactory substitutions have been provided. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

Arthur April 08, 2020 for Model Number KitchenAid KGRT507BAL1 gas range Hello, as per your instructions, I did replace the spark module. I also replaced the igniters themselves, the ones that were broken and were malfunctioning. And now the range has returned to the operational level it was previously. But still, only two burners are actually firing, and only one consistently. One thing it is doing that it was doing previously was when I would fire up a non-infighting burner, the functioning igniter will also spark as though that burners knob had been turned. I don't know if it is normal, but was willing to live with it previously, but now would like to make all burners functional.
1 Answer Arthur, around the stem of each gas valve, is a switch that opens and closes to send voltage to the spark module which then sends high voltage to all of the surface burners, regardless of which one is being turned on. You can check for continuity at each switch. When the switch is in the off position, there should not be any continuity, when you turn the switch to the light position, it should read continuity. Part number for the switch is WP9751325 Read More...
Arthur Hall February 24, 2020 for Model Number KitchenAid KGRT507BAL1 Hello, the range igniters on my gas stove started firing continuously. It had been problematic for a few years, with only the right front lighting, via the igniter. Recently even that stopped sparking and finally failed completely. Then it started firing on all burners continuously, till I cut power to the range. I went into it, located the igniter module and as diagnosis, removed each wire to the burner valve/switch to see if a particular valve/switch was the problem. My thinking was that as I removed the wire from the module from the burner, if the clicking/spark stopped, that would indicate a problem valve/switch. I did this with all four, and each time I did this and plugged the range back in, the sparking would resume. Then I removed all four control wires from the module, and when I plugged the range back in, the sparking again continued, though completely detached from all valve/switches. I tested further by removing each of the ignition wires, one by one, and I am pretty sure the control wires were still disconnected. Even when I removed the ignition wires, one by one, the sparking continued. Your thoughts on this please. Meanwhile, I have removed the spark ignition module and the final test will be to connect it to a 120 ac volt source, and figure out a way to test for spark without getting shocked. If I can and do, and if it is still firing, to me, that will be pretty definitive that the module is faulty. Also, I have one more question for you. The range is a few years on, and to save some coinage, was thinking of getting a generic spark module. Can you tell me if the output voltages on these are comparable, or should I just wing it. Thanks.
1 Answer Arthur, The first thing you will want to do is to check the green wire coming off the spark module and check the connection where it goes into the module for damage, rust or grease. Also, check the connection point on the range where the ground would connect to and clean it up. This could be the cause of this issue. If this does not correct the issue then the spark module would be the most likely cause and will need to replace it with an OEM module designed for this unit. The part number for this will WP4454392.

Al July 20, 2019 for Model Number JGBP33CEH3CC 3 of the 4 top burners consistently spark and light correctly. The 4th (larger rt front one) consistently sparks but does not light the burner.. Visual inspection of spark from all burners looks the same as best I can tell. Visually inspected wires to ignitor - nothing frayed or burned. Cleaned burner parts and orifice (just a precaution as they looked like new) and replaced the burner ignitor with a new one . Burner still won't light by itself. Burner will light fine with match. With burner off, blew through straw placed on top of orifice to prove no gas piping leak between valve and orifice with burner valve shut off. Repositioned burner cap assembly several times just to do it. Any suggestions?
1 Answer Al, Since you have spark and gas, you'll need to do a couple of more checks, Check the burner cap WB29X36765 Burner Cap, check the edge and underside of the cap for chips, debris, etc. Remove the burner base WB16T10046 Large Surface Burner and check the underside for debris, scratches, Use a large needle or pick and check and clean all the openings in the burner base, especially the area of the igniter indentation. Then remove the burner orifice(7mm nut driver) and check to see that there is no grease, oil or debris in the orifice opening. If all's OK, then replace the spark module. Read More...
