1 Answer

Sysborg, This issue would most likely be caused by a faulty control board of the unit.

Hello C.R., The manufacturer of all brands were required years ago to make ALL of the surface ignitors spark when any were activated in case the ignitors were wired incorrectly. In light of this information, there doesn't appear to be an issue with your unit at all since this is a preventative safety measure built into the unit.

Glen for Model Number JDR8895AAS

Two things happened the other day. My wife cleaned the oven range and stove top and the gas company topped off the propane tank downstairs. When I returned the knobs onto the igniter posts I heard the range "clicking" like it was trying to ignite on its own. I made sure the knob was in the "off"position and it was. As I removed the knob, I could see small sparks coming from underneath the igniter post. I turned off the gas supply and power supply as this posted a major hazard. The next morning I turned the unit back on and there were no issues. My wife tried to turn a different burner on and the same thing happened almost starting a fire. Is this a bad igniter? Valve. please advise. Thank you,

Hello JL. If all your igniters are not working, then it is possible that the spark module part number 74009098 is defective. If it's just one burner that is not working, it can be the switch or the igniter. Hope this helps!

Hello Rob, You will want to check continuity of the ignition switches. Turn off gas to unit. With valve turned in on position check across the leads of each switch for continuity. If there is no continuity then the switches are bad. Also check to make sure that the ignitors are not bent to where they will not allow sparking. If these check ok then also check the wiring from the switches to the spark module to make sure that there are no broken or damaged wires.

Hello Stefan! You will need the 9k burner control valve 12002269, this is also used as the 12k burner valve. Make sure that the area around the igniter is not dirty from food/debris. If it is clean, try replacing the ignitor- part number WP8523793. If the spark module ignites the other burners and this one just doesn't click, you can try putting a good igniter in it's place to verify it's just the igniter. If it doesn't work he could have a bad switch or module. Hope this helps. Thanks.

Brad, as for the middle burner not sparking, You will need to remove the burner cap and check the burner base and cap for debris and spillage and the condition of the spark igniter WP8523793 . If thats the only burner with an issue, if alls Ok you will need to remove all the caps and burner bases and raise the cooktop to check for a damaged wire to the igniter WP7527P023-60 from the spark module 74009098 on the back of the range. As for neither oven not going into the "clean" cycle, there should be an error code in the display when the cycle is programmed . what is the error code ? and you cannot program both ovens for clean at the same time. We'll send you some tech data information that should get you through diagnosing the issues and getting you back up and running.

Emory, does the oven or broiler ignite and heat ? Apparently the igniters work, Are the burner bases, caps and burner area clean and dry, no spill over or detergent residue to detract the spark from the burner ? Can you light the burner with a match ? If the oven works, and you can light the burners with a match, then we have a weak spark module 74009098 or wiring issue. If the burners won't light with a match then we're looking for a gas flow issue, check for gas at the wall connection then check or repalce the regulator 12002604. Thanks
