Maytag Cooktop CSG9900AAE Won't start or doesn't start

This surface-burner igniter switch mounts on the gas valve stem and signals the spark module when you turn the knob. Replacing a worn switch restores reliable top-burner ignition and helps eliminate intermittent or continuous clicking.

• Mounts on the surface burner gas valve and closes the circuit to the spark module as the knob is turned
• Triggers the igniter electrodes to spark so the burner lights
• Helps address: no spark when turning the knob, intermittent or delayed ignition, or continuous clicking/sparking
• Typical failure signs include needing to jiggle the knob to spark or sparking that won't stop after the flame is lit

• Disconnect electrical power; shut off gas supply if working near gas fittings; allow the appliance to cool
• Pull off the burner knob and remove the panel/top as needed to access the valve switch
• Move wires to the new switch one at a time to maintain correct connections; ensure the actuator aligns on the valve stem
• Reassemble, restore power, and test burner ignition

Spark electrode with a 29 inch female terminal.

For top surface burners. Configuration: 2 + 0.

Left-side gas valve that controls gas flow to the burner assembly, restoring reliable ignition and stable flame control when a faulty valve causes burners to fail to light, sputter, or produce an inconsistent flame. What it does:

• Regulates gas flow to the left burner assembly for proper ignition and steady flame control.
• Replaces a stuck, damaged, or failed valve often associated with burners that won't light, have weak flames, or flame fluctuation.
• Acts as the control point between the appliance gas supply and the burner; proper operation is required for safe ignition.
• Use the appliance's parts diagram to determine left/right valve location and fit before ordering.

• Turn off the appliance power and shut off the gas supply before starting any service.
• Only install on appliances designed for this left-side valve; follow the service diagram and manufacturer instructions for proper fitment.
• Inspect all fittings and connections for leaks after installation; test using approved leak-detection methods per local codes.
