Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Top Burner (Medium 9K) (Part Number: OEM18072333)

Mike August 05, 2015 for Model Number ACF3355AW

I have an Amana oven and my cooktop does not spark anymore. I am looking for the igniter and was told that it is in the back by the electronic board. I do not see it back there. Is it by one of the burners?

1 Answer

Hello Mike. The igniters are by the burners on the top of the unit. Also, you may be looking for the spark module WP31962701 which is inside the control panel section.

Terry N February 08, 2014 for Model Number akgd3060

When I turn on any of the knobs the igniter only goes on on the bottom left burner. For example, If I turn on the bottom right knob the igniter on the bottom left goes on.

Hello Terry. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the spark module is bad and will need to be replaced in the unit.

George January 05, 2014 for Model Number amana acf3355aw stove

All my top burners wont ignite, not even a spark, or that snapping sound you get from the igniter when trying to lite the burners. I must use a lighter to ignite the gas. The burners with igniters that i purchased from you a few years ago would click, click, click a few times before lighting and then just click without lighting at all. Then the lights on the panel would blink on and off until reseting it....could you tell me what I need to fix this,,,,, thank you

George, You first need to check and make sure the outlet that the range is connected to is a 120 VAC Grounded and polarized outlet(you may even want to install an external ground from the chassis to a cold water pipe to be sure. The range has to be grounded for the igniters to operate because of the high intensity DC voltage required. A loose or weak ground could also cause the display to blink off and on until the power is reset. If all checks OK, and you still have the ignition issue, replace the spark module WP31962701.

After unscrewing and removing burners, does the top just lift off--is there a gasket? I have one burner not working, but the burner works in another position. Thank you.
