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.

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Spark Module Kit (Part Number: OEM12030111)

Kian December 28, 2014

Hello, I have been experincing intermittent delayed ignition on front right and rear left burners of the following stove: MAYTAG , NEWTON IA 50208 MODEL CRG9800CAE SERIAL 14283312QH Kindly, is the problem due to a faulty spark module or anything else? Your advice would be appreciated. Regards,

1 Answer

Hello Kian. First try cleaning the burners and orifices on the unit. If they are dirty, the spark is not good and the unit will not light properly. If they are clean, then check for good gas flow. Also, make sure the igniters are not bad on the unit.

Andy September 24, 2014 for Model Number jds9860aaw parts

The right front burner will not spark when any knob is turned to "ignite". All of the other burners do spark when any knob is turned to "ignite". Although last night while my wife was using a couple of the burners I was able to make it spark. I can not duplicate that this morning. Thanks, Andy

1 Answer

Hello Andy. You will need to replace the spark switch WP4330739 for that burner.

Charles C August 01, 2014 for Model Number Old Maytag range top - natural gas

I have good spark on two of the burners and very week spark on the other 2 if I short one of the bad one out then the other bad one works. I switched leads at the burner underneath and the problem followed the lead. So do I have a bad module or a bad lead.

1 Answer

Charles, This issue of a 2 weak igniters would most likely be caused by a faulty spark module rather than the wires going to the igniters.

Ben July 14, 2014 for Model Number jds9860aaw

I am wondering if spark module is located in the same place as all others on this model lower right corner of the back because i am going to be replacing it for my brother later today

1 Answer

Ben, We probably missed your deadline, but Yes, the spark module is located on the back of the range in the lower rear left corner.

Js June 25, 2014

Can someone please help me find a spark igniter for a Russell Slide in cook top. Model 35-6, serial # 000803. The company went out of business years ago. I've read on blogs that the Dacor one works, but that's all the info listed. My range has very little use as it is in a vacation home, but it's certainly worth repairing. Thank you, JS

1 Answer

Hello JS! Unfortunately, we do not carry parts for or have information regarding the Russell brand to verify the available parts for your unit. Sorry about that!

Frank June 16, 2014 for Model Number KGCT025 YAL-1

Need a spark module for this KitchenAid KGCT025 two burner stovetop. You show that this part is out of stock - as does everyone else. Can you recommend a (cheap) substitute? Believe this is a whirlpool part. I am based in Mexico City, and usually go downtown and simply specify a two burner, four burner or six burner module. I may have to modify terminals, but they work. I’m in the USA for the month and am about to place an order from you, but would like to include this before checkout.

1 Answer

Frank, the spark module listed for your model is part number 832956. Unfortunately, this item has been discontinued with no further replacements or cross references available and our company is unaware of any other available sources. Sorry about that!

Johnnyd June 13, 2014 for Model Number maytag crg7500aaw

Where is the spark module located on range crg7500aaw located?

1 Answer

Hello Johnny. Pull out the unit and look on the inside of the bottom frame to access and replace the spark module.

Kat November 29, 2013 for Model Number mgr4410adh

Day before thanksgiving my gas stove will not light no clicking noise and oven will not light as well. I can light burners manually and I can see the oven pilot on but can not light the oven. Would this a defective spark module causing this problem? Maytag mgr4410adh

1 Answer

Kat, A defective spark module 12001596 would explain the no spark issue for the top burners, but not the oven. The oven pilot is a different system it's referred to as a "hot surface" igniter. Power from the ERC/Clock is applied directly to the igniter 12400035 , it glows and produces a circuit to the safety valve. Since you "can see the oven pilot on but cannot light the oven" what you're seeing is the igniter is on, but it is "weak" and cannot produce the electrical circuit to the valve to open it and ignite the gas at the oven burner.

Len October 27, 2013 for Model Number Maytag CHG9800BAE

The 2 right hand igniters do not spark. The left hand ones work fine. I don't know if they went one at a time or both at once. Is this more likely to be the spark module or the burner igniters?

1 Answer

Len, It's most likely the circuitry in the spark module 12001596 has failed.
