Tom Polk May 20, 2021 for Model Number ARG7200W I replaced the front two burner igniters a few years back on an Amana range ARG7200W. Recently those two stopped sparking. I switched the wires at the igniters from front to back. The two front ones started working and the back ones didn't. That tells me the problem is not the igniters themselves. So the problem must be the wire or the igniter module. Knowing the igniters to be good, , I switched the front and back wires at the module. Again, the working and non-working burners switched. That confirms either one wire on each side of range is bad or the module is bad. Each side of the range has a black wire to one burner and a white wire to the other. With the front burners lighting, to test the wires I switched the white/black pairs to white/white black/black. Then the back burners lit, but the front ones wouldn't. Assuming the wires are good, this would indicate a bad spark module. Before I spend $50 on a new module (pretty much unobtanium) I have two questions: 1. Is my diagnosis methodology correct? 2. What is the downside to splicing/combining the wires per this YouTube video? This is the same range I have. He even bought a new module and it still didn't work withiut the splicing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPDA77IS4xo
1 Answer Tom, With the unit not working on 2 burners and it will switch then it would be recommended to test the igniter switches on the valves for continuity. If the switches are good then the issue will be the module. Read More...

Gilbert December 15, 2014 for Model Number AKS3040SS My Amana Gas Stove Top is not sparking on all 4 burners. I have to use a match or lighter for ignition. What is the part needed?
1 Answer Hello Gilbert, This is normally caused by a loss of the electrical ground to the surface burner. This is normally corrected by disassembly of the top area and sanding the places where the screws that hold the parts in place go through so they will make electrically to the chassis of the appliance. If you want to verify this is th4e issue before disassembly you can run a ground wire from a clean and shiny body screw near the lower part of the appliance to the burner area of the unit. If this does not cause the ignitor to properly spark, you could have an issue with the spark module 32020101 or wiring to the ignitor. Read More...
Malaika February 04, 2014 for Model Number ARG7600WW Every once in a while turning any burner knob results in no sparks at all (silence). Then it works again. Sounds like it could be the spark module to me, but is it also likely due to a loose connection?
1 Answer Hello Malaika. It sounds like the spark switch WPY0316572 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Bob R August 01, 2013 for Model Number ARG7303WW Replaced igniter but other front burner stopped sparking also. Neither spark. I am assuming it is the spark module?
1 Answer Bob, Since one igniter was replaced but the burner does not work and the second burner has also stopped sparking then the spark module would be the issue. Read More...
Bob July 26, 2013 for Model Number ARG7303WW Front left igniter doesn't spark, the other 3 burners do.
1 Answer Bob, You will want to test the resistance of the spark igniter for continuity and test igniter to chassis. There should be continuity when checking resistance and no continuity to ground. If there is continuity to ground then the igniter would need to be replaced. Read More...
Valery G. March 16, 2013 for Model Number ARGS7650ww All 4 top burners stopped sparking when any top valve is open. Oven sparker continues to work. Is this condition caused by a failed module (verify the pt# is AP4041505), or bad wiring connection? If problem is not the top burner spark module, what is the best diagnostic process for pinpointing the failure?
1 Answer Hello Valery, If none of the surface burners will spark when any of the valves are turned on, the spark module 32020101 will have to be defective. Read More...

Cindy August 07, 2012 for Model Number ARGS7650WW (Amana Gas Range) All four burners keep sparking automatically. I have to disconnect the power in order to stop sparking. Is the problem with spark module or igniter or something else? Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Cindy. Make sure the burners are good and clean and if so, it is a bad spark module 32020101 and you will need to replace the module on the unit. Read More...
