Customer Questions and Answers for Spark Module by Whirlpool

Troy, the spark module WPW10331686 would need to be tested for 120VAC at the connection J1 pin 6 (red wire) when the bake cycle is selected. If there is not 120VAC, the main control WP6610449 has failed. If there is voltage, the most likely failure is the spark module.

Max, based on the information provided, it sounds like there may be a control failure. It would be recommended that the temperature probe WP8053344 is tested for resistance as it should measure about 1100O. If the temperature probe tests properly, then the intermittent failure would be from the main control 6610172. Unfortunately, the main control has been discontinued by the manufacturer and is no longer available.

Marie, If you are not at the location it would be best to shut the gas off at the shutoff behind the unit. The gas valve should not be affected by it being shut off for long periods and it would be recommended.to check to make sure that the burners do not have cobwebs or anything like that inside the burner which is most likely.

Greg, your post description and information indicates an issue in the DSI spark module [ She also reports when the oven is on and this happening, the burners on the oven do not ignite either, the gas is flowing and she can manually ignite the burners, or she can hit cancel, then the burners ignite." The spark module contains a "safety circuit" that will "shut down" the module and will not allow the igniters to spark until the module is reset (turning off power through the module).

Ryan, based on the information provided, the spark module WPW10331686 would be the likely cause of failure. With the bake cycle turned on, it can be tested for incoming voltage at the connection J1 from pin 6 to ground after the oven has stopped heating and has cooled down. If there is 120VAC within 1 minute, the main control is calling for heat. From there, DC voltage would be tested from Pin 1 with the red meter probe to pin 2 with the black meter probe. If there is not 18VDC, the module has failed if the bake ignitor is sparking. If the voltage is there, then the gas valve WPW10293048 has failed.

Brian, based on the information provided, there would likely be a failure with the temperature sensor WPW10131825 or with the oven control board 9761594 (unfortunately, this part has been discontinued). With the range power cord unplugged, the sensor can be tested for resistance and it should measure about 1100O at room temperature and 1350O when heated to 200°F. If the sensor tests properly, then the oven control has failed and would need to be replaced.

If you here it clicking and no spark, I would check the wire itself. Also, make sure the ignitor is in the proper location not bent away from the burner too far. If that all looks good I would bet on the ignitor being bad. Handle them with care as they tend to be very fragile!

Tom, With all the burners not working properly, this will most likely be a faulty spark module WPW10331686.

Dale, as the spark module is causing the cooktop to spark when only the oven cycle is started, the failure would be in the spark module WPW10331686.

Hello, Francisco. The problem you described has nothing to do with the spark module because it sparks when you turn the knob on. You may want to start the troubleshooting from verifying that the igniter is mounted correctly and the tip of the igniter is clean. If there is nothing wrong then the burner tube would need to be replaced. The part number for the burner tube wp9758078
