Doug March 12, 2019 for Model Number whirlpool gs445lems One of my burners on my Whirlpool stove is not lighting up. It lights up if I put a match to it. I checked the igniter and I see the spark. I checked the surface burner for debris and all is clean. Other burners work fine. Is it possible that the igniter is still bad even though I see the spark. Not sure what to replace.
1 Answer Doug, It is possible for the igniter to be bad if it is not sparking in the proper position it will not light the burner. Double check to make sure that the cap and burner head are clean and if they are then replace the igniter. Read More...

Sc June 23, 2015 for Model Number WFG510S0AB0 My oven will not light. The spark igniter has been replaced. When the oven is turned on, I can hear the spark module clicking and can smell gas in the oven but it will not light. All burners on the range and broiler are working correctly.
1 Answer Hello SC. Check and see if the igniter is sparking. If not, check the wiring for it and the igniter WP9758079. If both are good, then replace the module WPW10331686. Read More...
Wing April 19, 2015 for Model Number GS395LEGB1 None of the cooktop ignitors will spark. Is that a bad module?
1 Answer Hello Wing. Make sure the spark switches are good and if so, then the module will need to be replaced on the unit. 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 Read More...
Yvonne September 28, 2014 for Model Number Whirlpool Super Capacity 465 gas stove One of the top burners on my Whirlpool Super Capacity 465 oven is making the clicking sound as though it was going to light, but there is no gas coming to the burner. It just started to make this sound. The burner works when I cut the knob on to get the gas to ignite. Is this switch going out and is there any danger until I can get a repairman here? I am not trying to light the burner.
1 Answer Yvonne, This issue sounds like you would have a bad ignition switch on the valve. It is recommended that when the unit is not in use that you unplug it. You can plug it in to use the unit just unplug when not in use. Read More...
Patrick June 10, 2014 I have a GE gas range. The burner ignitor sparks and there is gas coming out, but the burner does not ignite. I have checked the orifice on the burner that leads to the ignitor and they are not blocked. All burner ignitors spark at the same time, is that normal? Also the oven burner does not ignite also. The oven ignitor assembly seemed to glow but nothing else happens.
1 Answer Patrick, Yes, it is normal for all four top burner igniters to spark, when any burner knob is turned to the on or lite position. If one burner will not ignite you need to check the burner area for debris, check that the spark is as bright as the other burner and strike in the same area of the burner, it's nor erratic or bouncing to different areas. The oven igniter is a separate system, the power to the igniter is supplied from the control, when power is applied to the "hot surface" igniter / glow bar, it starts to glow, then when the amperage draw reaches 3.2 to 3.6 amps (2.5 to3.0 for round igniters) the safety valve opens and the burner ignites. You most likely have a weak oven burner igniter and it will need replacement. If you should need more assistance, please include a model number of the range, we can be more precise and accurate with electrical and parts requirements. Thanks Read More...
Richard May 11, 2014 for Model Number sf385pegq1 I've noticed on the spark module where the surface ignitors connect that there are no distinctive markings at those four spades. My question is, does it matter the order that the surface ignitors are connected?
1 Answer Hello Richard, Since all four surface ignitors spark at the same time when any are energized, it does not matter which connect where. Read More...
Frank D January 29, 2014 for Model Number GE # JGB281DER4BB What are the burner spark voltages? Is there an advantage of 6mA modules over 4mA modules? Aside from mounting methods, are 4 burner modules interchangeable?
1 Answer Frank, You would want to use the factory recommended part and there really is no advantage of the 6mA to the 4mA. The voltages would be around 13,000 vdc. The part number you would want to use for your unit is WB13K10054. Read More...
Ray January 04, 2014 for Model Number whirlpool acubake super capacity 465 I replaced the top burner ignition wires and spark module. Still there is no spark. The burners getting gas and the oven works. What now?
1 Answer Hello Ray, You need to make sure you have a good ground present at the burners by the ignitors and the spark module is sparking. If the spark module isn't making a clicking sound, it could be bad or the spark switch assembly could have failed. Read More...
Bill September 03, 2013 Hello, I had to change my spark modual on my whrilpool super capacity 465 and the new modual has a connector for ground but the old one doesn't. Do I need to ground the new one? Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Bill. No, if there is no place for the ground wire, then it is not needed. Read More...
