Biff, The spark module 12001596 on this type range is located on the lower right side base rail as viewed from the front. You will need to remove the burners, raise the top then remove the three screws from the rear of the panel and top edges of the side panel. This should loosen the side panel enough to pull it up and disengage the "key hole" at the front inside of the panel(top and bottom) from the screw and plastic spacer holding it in place. Don't forget, you'll need top remove power to the range, before you start anything, and check the igniter switch circuits WP74007096.

Soujen, The most likely cause of the unit sparking when not calling for sparking would be a bad spark module.

Hello Pary. If none of the switches are causing the top to spark, you will need to replace the module in the unit. It is not the igniters.

Dean, Based on your information, First check and make sure you have the proper power supply at the outlet, and the line cord didn't get knocked loose or anything like that. Then start at the spark module 8215557 and valve switches WP74007696. You'll need to remove the grates, burner caps and burner bases(two screws each) remove the drip pans then raise the glass panel up and off the burner box frame, Be careful with the glass, make sure you turn off the gas supply and remove power to the cooktop, before you start anything..

John, Fortunately, The igniter wire terminals (1/8 in) can be attached to any one of the matching 1/8 in terminals on the spark module. The 120 VAC wires need to be attached specifically. The White wire needs to be attached to the 1/4 in. terminal labeled "N" and the Tan or Black wire needs to be attached to the 1/4 in. terminal labeled "L". Also make sure there is a properly polarized and grounded outlet for the power cord to be plugged into.

Len, The spark module 12001596 is located at the rear of the unit where the storage drawer is located. It may be necessary to remove the side panel but should be accessible by removing the storage drawer.

Robert, The spark module 12001596 on your range could be located on the back of the range, along the left side of the rear panel. On early versions the spark module was located on the inside of the right side panel, which will require removing the side panel.
