Questions & Answers

For Ge Cooktop Spark Module (Part Number: OEM21648372)

1 Answer

Hello Robert, thanks for contacting AppliancePartsPros.com
That sounds like an issue within the switch on switch harness WB18T10387, especially if the issue only seems to be occurring with one particular burner. Unfortunately, that part has been discontinued by the manufacturer and is no longer available for purchase. The manufacturer does not list a compatible substitute or replacement part. You can try verifying if the issue is with the switch or the spark module WB13X46909 by accessing the spark module and swapping the wire from the switch with another switch's wire and see if the issue follows the switch and still buzzes even though it has been connected to a new burner.
If it follows the switch then the issue is with the switch harness.
If it does not follow the switch and the one now connected to that terminal on the spark module is now buzzing, replace the spark module. The spark module is still available.

Robert,

The spark module ground wire would not be needed. There was a change to the design in which they eliminated the ground.

Augi,

If the left side clicks when and sparks when the right side is turning on then the most likely cause, will be the spark module.

Hello, I have a ge stove and while I cant find the exact model number, the part number on the ignitor is bk50044.52 and it has the 4 wire per ignitor knob harness. About 4 hours after some liquid was spilled, all 4 ignitors were trying to ignite without turning knobs, the spark seemed strong. If I actually turned the knobs they work. I took the harness out and disassembled, cleaned all liquids and contact points. Put back together, same thing. I'm thinking the only thing common between all 4 ignitor tips is the module. As soon as it's plugged into the wall, it's trying to light all 4 ignitors. A previous poster had the same issue and you recommended the harness with switches. I do not doubt your recommendation at all, I am just curious why the harness and not the ignitor module? Thank you

Ray, the spark module receives a signal from the spark switches on the gas valves, they are regular switches that when closed, complete a circuit to the spark module and send high voltage to the igniters. At least one of the switches is reading closed. Without a model number I cannot give you anymore information other than there are two wires in the switch harness, disconnect them both, check for continuity through the two wires, if there is continuity, at least one switch is closed.
