Customer Questions and Answers for Spark Module by Whirlpool

Hello Al. Check and make sure the igniter is getting into the flame tips. It sounds like there is a grounding issue. Make sure the wires going to the igniter are not cut or pinched between the stove frame. If all is good, replace the spark module WPW10331686. Hope this helps.

Hello JAF. If the oven is not sparking on bake or broil, you may have a bad spark module WPW10331686. There is not way of pulling a code, if the oven does not display one. You will need to test and see if the clock is sending power to the spark module when the unit is turned onto bake or broil. If so, and they do not spark, you will need to replace the module. You can test this with a multi-meter MA-DM1. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html

Hello Tom! The spark module WPW10331686 will come with step by step instructions regarding the installation of this part. Here is the information off the installation sheet:
1. Unplug range or disconnect power.
2. A red wire used with the original electronic board will
need to be removed and taped off. This red wire is not
required when installing the replacement board. See
Figure 1.
3. A jumper located at the power cord connection must
also be removed. (This connection is located at the
right rear area of the storage drawer/warming drawer
compartment). See Figure 2.
NOTE: On ranges with a warming drawer the rear
screws on the RIGHT SIDE panel will have to be
removed to gain access to the 120V connector plug
and transformer wiring connector.
Once the jumper is removed, reconnect the power cord
connection. See Figure 3 and 4.
**Please not the figures are only available with the tech installation sheet.
Hope this information helps you determine if you can repair your unit. Thanks!

Hello Al. No, there should not be voltage when the oven is off, only voltage when on. You will need to look for a broken wire. If the wire is good coming to the igniter, you will need to replace the EOC WPW10116542. Hope this helps.

Hello Don, does your control board diplay anything when you program the oven on? If so, you might have to replace the spark module board WPW10331686. Thanks

Hello David. Yes, it sounds like the spark module may be the culprit. Thanks.

Hello Chris. If your having trouble with it sparking, more than likely you have a bad spark module. These take a special very high voltage meter for testing. Hope this helps.

Hello Calvin. You can test at the gas valve. You should have atleast 9 volts dc across the red and orange wires. If you have this voltage, then you have a bad gas valve. If the voltage is not there, you either have a bad spark module or broke wire. Hope this helps.
