Customer Questions and Answers for Spark Module by Ge

Danny,

If the ground wire coming from the power cord is damaged then you would need to replace the power cord on the unit.

Hello Danny. If the switches are new, and the wiring is good, you will need to order and replace the spark module WB13X32509 on the unit.

Dana,

The most common reason for the unit to continue to click with the spark module and switch harness being replaced would be that there is a short to ground that is causing the issue.

Kim,

With this issue you will want to check the continuity of the switches just to make sure that they do not have continuity in the off position. If they do then the switches are bad. If they do not then the spark module would be the issue.

Hello Mike,
Disconnect the power to the cooktop in the junction box and turn the breaker back on. If it still trips, the problem is in the wiring/junction box and not in the unit. If it doesn't trip, use your ohm meter at the power cord and see if there is continuity from the center terminal to either side. Using ground as a reference, you can disconnect everything inside the unit one thing at a time, (reconnecting the tings that don't show a short as you go, until you find the component at fault. The issue can be any component inside the unit or the wiring inside the unit. The meter will tell on the problem.

Dave,

With having replaced the igniters, burner wire and harness, then the issue would be in the spark module having a weak spark for the 2 front burners.

Hello Larry. If this is with all 5 knobs, you need to check the gas pressure coming to the unit.

Hello David. Make sure all parts are dry and if so, either the spark switch or the spark module will need to be replaced on the unit. If you test the switches in the off position, they should read open for continuity. If they are closed, they are bad. 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

Alex,

The burner wire harness is part number WB18T10252 and the spark module is part number WB13X32509.
