Magic Chef Cooktop 8311TS Won't start or doesn't start

This igniter switch operates the burner lighter so the cooktop sparks and lights a gas burner when you press the lighter control. Replacing a faulty switch restores consistent ignition and reliable burner starting. What it does:

• Sends the ignition spark to the burner when the lighter/push-button is pressed.
• Replaces a worn, sticky, or unresponsive lighter switch that prevents consistent sparking.
• Common symptoms it can address: no spark from the lighter, intermittent sparking, or a button that fails to activate ignition.
• Interfaces with the existing lighter mechanism and wiring to restore normal ignition function.

• Disconnect power (unplug) and shut off the gas supply before starting any work.
• Access typically requires removing the cooktop or control panel; use appropriate hand tools and keep track of fasteners.
• Avoid touching electrical contacts and confirm wiring matches the original during reassembly.

For top surface burners. Configuration: 2 + 0.
