J. Gross May 19, 2018 for Model Number PGP990SEN1SS I have a 9 yr old GE Profile natural gas cook top that used to work great for about 3 years. Now the 4 burners will only light occasionally with the spark. There is gas at all burners, and the igniters spark on each one. On two of the burners the spark seems to be a little intermittent, but not a lot. Oddly, if I blow on the burners with the igniters on, then they will light. What could this be?
1 Answer J. Gross, First, remove the burner caps, and check the burner bases to make sure they're clean, free of rust or corrosion, and there's no debris in the burner area(s). Look down inside the burner base and look to see if there is any debris or grease, spillage that may be interfering with the gas flow from the burner tube orifice. Turn off the gas supply and check that the sparks are a bright "white" color when the burner valve/switch is turned on and the spark is "striking" the same spot on the burner, consistently. You didn't mention if the range operates on Nat gas or LP gas, but blowing air towards the burner changes the fuel/air mix, Read More...
Jim March 02, 2018 for Model Number PLCF489CCD Will this spark module work on this model? My problem is that the igniter isn't working. The igniter is good because I tried it on another burner.
Heather January 24, 2018 for Model Number JGB695SEF1SS Front left burner will not light. I can light it with a lighter and it works good then. What could this be?
1 Answer Hello Heather, If the unit is making a clicking sound you will have a bad ignitor or ignitor wire WB18X24485, or you have lost ground the burner base. If it is not making the clicking sound, you will have a bad start switch WB18X20259. Read More...
Bl December 23, 2017 for Model Number JGP933SEF1SS I spilled water on my cooktop and the igniter continued sparking. So after, I dried out the harness switch and tried reigniting but one of the switches smoked. I ordered & replaced the harness switch but all 4 burners will not spark. I even replaced the spark module. Model JGP933SEF1SS 1. Is the part number correct or defected PN: WB18T10339. (Harness switch) 2. Why won’t all 4 burners spark? PN: WB13T10046. ( spark module) Please advise, BL
1 Answer Bl, This switch harness WB18T10339 is showing as being the correct harness for your unit. If you replaced the spark module and the spark switches you will want to check the incoming power to the unit as this will be the most likely issue. Read More...
Gerald December 05, 2017 for Model Number JGP9403ek2SS HELLO, All four of our ignitors were trying to light with out any knob turned. We had a BK80044-52 ignitor module. Was this replaced with the BK50044-52? And if so, what order do the wires from burners go? It looks different. Thanks for your help
1 Answer Gerald, In most cases the spark module would not cause the igniters to spark on their own. You will want to check the spark switches for continuity in the off position and if there is continuity then the switch is bad. Read More...
Elbert August 13, 2017 for Model Number ZGU385NSM2SS The right rear burner will not spark when the knob is turned. It does spark when I turn the other knobs (to light the other burners). Also, the light at the knob for the right rear burner lights up when any of the other burners are turned on. The ignitor does spark when I turn the other knobs but does not spark when I turn it's knob. I've replaced the ignitor and the wiring harness. No change. What are the chances it is the ignition module? Is it more likely the wire that runs from the ignition module to the burner since all the other burners are working? Or is it something at the knob? Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Elbert. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the switch harness WB18X23942 is bad on the unit. Read More...
Bob April 21, 2017 for Model Number JGP-933WEC2WW Getting spark on all four burners of cooktop,but left rear will not light.( other three do ) Is this more then likely Spark Igniter ?
1 Answer Bob, You will want to pull the burner head and the burner cap and make sure that they are throughly cleaned. Also make sure that the burner can be lit with a match. If it can be and it is sparking then dirty burner will cause this. If it will not then check the orifice to make sure that it is clean and make sure that there is gas coming through the valve.

Brett March 30, 2017 for Model Number jgbs80dem1ww I ordered the replacement spark module (part # AP3778816) for my stove (jgbs80dem1ww) and its different from the original. Everything I've read so far indicates the new part is compatible with the stove, but I'm unsure as to which "spark wire" goes where. The wires going to each burner on the stove are different colors. There's also no clear indication as to where the ground wire is supposed to go. While a picture of the wire placement was included with the instructions, the quality is so poor it's unusable. Is there a clear wire diagram available and where does the ground wire from the stove go? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Brett, As per the original wiring diagram on the units' tech sheet shows, the yellow will go to the right front, black to the right rear, red to the left front, blue to the left rear and white to the center burner. Read More...
Tim December 08, 2016 for Model Number JGS968BH4BB I need the wires that run from this spark module to each electrode. Can't seem to locate the part numbers.
1 Answer Tim, Unfortunately the manufacturer does not list the wires that go from the spark module to the igniters as being a part that is available. Read More...
George August 09, 2016 for Model Number JGP945SEK1SS I have one burner ( back right) that will not light. It will with a lighter so we have gas supply. the electronic igniter try's to spark but very intermittent. upon removal of burner I can see the spark is going out the bottom of the wire coming to the igniter and sparking on the bottom of the chassis I swapped the igniters around and it works in other location (back left) but same action on the back right burner. is this the spark module / or wire harness. I taped the wire and no bare spots in it and it still jumps to the chassis. Please advise... thanks
1 Answer Hello George. You will need to order and replace WB18T10407. Also, make sure the burner is clean on the unit. Read More...
