Magic Chef Range 3187XTA Won't start or doesn't start

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.

The Flat Style Oven Igniter Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. It is designed to ignite the gas in the oven burner, facilitating the start of the heating process. This igniter is crucial for ensuring your oven heats up quickly and efficiently, providing the necessary flame for cooking and baking.

Symptoms of a bad Oven Igniter include:

• The oven failing to heat up or taking a long time to reach the desired temperature.
• A noticeable gas smell when the oven is turned on, indicating the gas is not igniting.
• The igniter glowing without producing a flame, which can point to a lack of adequate temperature to ignite the gas.

Causes of a bad oven igniter can include the wear and breakdown of the igniter element over time, a faulty electrical connection, or a disruption in the gas supply.

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Sealed Gas Burner Head is an OEM part for Whirlpool gas ranges. It directs the gas flow to the burner, ensuring an even flame for cooking. This component is crucial for efficient heat distribution and precise cooking control.

Causes of a bad sealed gas burner head can include clogging from food debris or grease, corrosion due to exposure to moisture, or physical damage from impact or excessive heat. Over time, these factors can affect the burner's performance, leading to uneven cooking or failure to ignite.

Symptoms of a bad sealed gas burner head include:

• Uneven flame or no flame at all
• Difficulty in igniting the burner
• Yellow or irregularly shaped flames
• Burner not heating evenly or adequately

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

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.
