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.

John B. for Model Number JDS9860AAP

Burners will not light except manually with a flame. Purchased and replaced spark module but nothing changed. Spark module has 120 VAC when each burner is in the light position. Checked for short to ground on all wiring from the spark module to the igniters and found none. Igniters spark normally when one or both burners on each side are lit and the knob is in the light position. Removed the burners from the pan and cleaned out the crud but still no change. Any further suggestions?

Hello John, If there is 120Vac to the spark module and gas from the valve, the issue is either a poor ground to the surface burners or the burners WP3403M075-10 are in need of replacement.

Hello John, based on the description and the part replaced follow the spark wires from the spark module to the burner module ignitor receptacle, likely there is a short to ground there, also the burner modules can be taken apart and the internal spark wires checked.

John, the spark module 12001596 is located at the bottom back of the appliance and would be accessed by moving the range out. The lower access panel would then be removed to expose the module. Unplugging the power cord and turning the gas supply off before replacement would be recommended.

Andrew, Pull the unit out and remove the back cover and check to see if it is there and if it is not there then look in the storage drawer area.

Jimmy, Make sure that the burners are clean and if they are then test the ignition switches to make sure that they are good for continuity in the light position. If this is good then the spark module would be the most likely cause.

Hello Gerald, The spark module is located on the lower right side base rail as viewed from the front of the unit. Remove the top and side panel. Remove three screws from the rear and top edges of the side panel. This should loosen the side panel enough to pull up and disengage the "keyhole" at the front inside of the panel (top & bottom) from the screw and plastic spacer holding it in place. The spark module is mounted on a bracket on the base frame.
