By: Whirlpool

Part Number: OEM12030111

Manufacturer Part Number: 12001596

The Spark Module Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. It is responsible for generating the spark needed to ignite the gas burners on the cooktop. The spark module sends electrical signals to the igniters, creating the spark that lights the gas for cooking.

Over time, the spark module can fail due to electrical issues, exposure to moisture, or normal wear and tear. When the spark module becomes faulty, it can lead to various problems with igniting the burners.

Symptoms of a bad spark module include:

Burners not lighting or taking a long time to light
No clicking sound when turning the burner knob
Burners only lighting intermittently
Visible sparks or arcing from the module

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

NOTE: This part is only compatible with serial numbers starting with 21 and up on model 8351VV.

For Whirlpool Spark Module Kit (Part Number: OEM12030111)

David Chorba February 12, 2013 for Model Number Jenn Air Gas Cooktop JGD8130ADS

One burner will not ignite (doesn't spark). The other three igniters spark fine. When I switch the burner units (each unit has two burners) from one side to the other, the same burner will not ignite on the opposite side, but the other burner unit works fine. I ordered and replaced the ignition unit for that burner, but it did not fix the problem. It still doesn't spark. All other burners spark in unison and work properly. I was told it might be the spark module, but that doesn't make sense to me since it is independent of either side. Could it be the Block Terminal? Any suggestions?

1 Answer

Hello David, The most likely cause of failure will be a bad spark ignitor 74004053.

Kirk Z February 09, 2013

I tore apart the back of my crosley gas stove and replaced the oven ignighter. In the process of that I unplugged two wires from the spark module and I'm not sure where those two wires go. While the wires are plugged in, we have a continues spark on the top burners. What do I do?

1 Answer

Kirk, There are 6 (six) terminals on the spark module. The four(4) smaller 1/8 in. terminals are for the igniter wires, one to each igniter. The two(2) larger 1/4 in. terminals are for the line(120 VAC) from the igniter switches and neutral (N) wire to the line cord. The smaller terminals have no specific terminal location location on the module(on this style ignition system) But the L and N need to be on the proper terminals on the module. If the igniters continue to spark after you re check the wiring, you'll need to access the igniter switches on the the burner valves and check to make sure the switches are all in the "open" position when the valves are in the "OFF" position. If the switches check OK, the wiring is OK and proper, then you'll need to replace the spark module.

William January 24, 2013 for Model Number aks3040ss

No "clicking" sound at all for the 4 burners. Where is the spark igniter located on this model aks3040ss? Which spark igniter part no. is right for this model?

1 Answer

Hello William, The spark module is part number 32020101 and is located under the main top of the cooktop in the burner box.

Mary January 13, 2013 for Model Number MGR4452BDB

All the burners are sparking all the time with no burners turned on.

1 Answer

Mary, You may need the spark module 8215557, but with your particular complaint, you need to check the igniter switches WPW10180490 on the burner valves first. If one or more switch is stuck "closed" (on position) or a wire is shorted to chassis ground, the igniters will continue to spark.

Bryan M December 13, 2012 for Model Number Mgs5770adw

We have a faulty spark module which I have ordered and will replace. My question is with this part replaced will it be possible to turn on the gas and it not ignite and possibly let gas into the house. This occurs now and our 2 year old is touching knobs and we are afraid of her opening the gas. Is there a piece or part that is malfunctioning besides the spark module that is allowing the gas to flow.

1 Answer

Hello Bryan. No, the unit is designed to let out gas as soon as the knob is turned, and has to be on lite for the unit to lite. If the child turns the knob, gas will come out.

Cgaretto December 12, 2012 for Model Number cgw4d59tszk

When trying to light oven, broiler & self cleaning none of them will light until it finally clicks. What causes that click sound, I think I need to replace that part.

1 Answer

Hello Cgaretto, The spark module would be what allows the unit to click and ignite. You could also check your ignitor to ensure that the ignitor is drawing between 3.2 and 3.56 amps.

Leo December 08, 2012

I thought that I had a bad spark module so I purchased one from you, I installed it and now all the burners are sparking all the time with no burners turned on.Could I have a bad switch that is causing the trouble?

1 Answer

Hello Leo, Check to make sure that your switches are on the gas valves properly and that there are no pinched wires. Also ohm out switches to make sure that they are good. If this checks ok then you may need to replace the switches or you may have received a bad spark module.

Gerte November 29, 2012 for Model Number 83LK-3K magic chef gas cooktop serial no. 05C128569189

Ruscee November 13, 2012 for Model Number 3448xrw

I have an older Magic Chef gas range and the broiler will no longer ingnite. You have a part AP4010034 will this solve my problem.

1 Answer

Hello Ruscee, You need to check and see if the igniter 12400035 is getting power. If so, and it does not glow, replace the igniter. 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
