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.

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Spark Module Kit (Part Number: OEM12030111)

Sy February 20, 2016 for Model Number MGC5430ADB

hi I have a Maytag MGC5430ADB 30" gas cooktop. I want to buy this spark module, and replace the broken unit. How do I access the module underneath the cook top cover? So far, I've removed the gas control knobs, and the 2x screws under each burner. Then, when I try to lift the cook top cover, it's not coming up. The whole assembly (including the enclosure below) seems to be moving together with the cook top cover. I don't want to break anything trying to do this repair. Any ideas how to remove the cook top cover? Or do I have to remove the whole cook top assembly first? Thanks!

1 Answer

Sy, It would be necessary to remove the entire cooktop from the cabinet first and then remove the screws around the perimeter that are holding the main top in place.

Oven light does not go out, switch on control panel?

1 Answer

Myron, If the oven light will not go off at the control board then the issue will be a stuck relay for the control for the light assembly and would require a new control board.

Curt November 28, 2015 for Model Number CSG9000CAB

Igniter always clicking if not using stove top. If its spark module ,how do I dismantle.

1 Answer

Curt, You will want to test the ignition switches on the unit and see if they have continuity in the off position. If their is one that does then will need to replace the switch. The switch part number is WP7403P367-60. In order to access you will need to remove the unit from the counter and will need to remove the screws around the perimeter of the cooktop. You will also need to remove the knobs, burners and grates from the unit.

Derek October 17, 2015 for Model Number CRG9700CAE Maytag

the 2 back burners spark but the front two do not. Connections are fine. Swapped the burners and still the back two spark not the front Is this a spark wire or a spark module problem. If wire where do I get the high tension wire?

1 Answer

Derek, The ignition wires are the least likely issue, based on your post information. The wires don't fail as often as they used to. However, the spark module 12001596 is the most likely problem and should be replaced.

G. Art K October 13, 2015 for Model Number Model - CSG9000BAE

My spark module is out - Question: How do I take off the Glass cook-top with out breaking it? The installation of the Spark module should be straight forward once the top is off.

1 Answer

G. Art K. To access the spark module you will need to pull the unit from installation. Remove the burners and the knobs. You will want to remove the screws around the perimeter of the base. Lift off the main top.

Jason August 18, 2015 for Model Number Magic Chef C31003SAW

Installed AP4010034 and did mix up the range wires. How do I know which burner is one through 4? Does it matter? Noticed that all four burners spark simultaneously. They use to be dependent to the knob. I assume I have done something incorrect on the installation. Please help.
