Alan September 25, 2011 for Model Number JDR8895AAS When lighting burners they don't alway come on - I always hear the clicking but the spark at the burner I am trying to light is not strong. This problem seems to move around randomly from burner to burner. Should the ignitor spark normally with the burner cap off?
1 Answer Alan, Make sure the burner base, ignotor and burner caps are clean(no debris, rust, corrosion, etc) the caps are installed on the burner bases properly. Check and make sure the power cord is plugged into a 120 VAC polarized, grounded outlet. Replace the spark module 74009098, not the ignitors. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
John Tempo September 13, 2011 for Model Number 665.75022100 My surface ignitor is sparking, but burner will not ignite. This is my first gas range and I am not sure of possible problems? Any suggestions?
1 Answer John, Try this, Remove the burner cap and look down inside the orifice tube, at the bottom you'll see a brass colored fitting, the hole in the center has got to be open, you may want to take a long needle or pin and check to make sure the orifice is clear. Make sure all the venturi slots on the burner base are clear and the spark igniter has a bright white spark and "hits" in the same location. If all is OK, suspect a clogged or damaged burner valve. Good Luck and Thanks Read More...

Couldn't loosen any of the 8 screws(2 for each burner head). Should I try using a screw extractor? What is the part number for the screws? Appreciate your advice
