This is a spark ignition switch used on gas ranges and cooktops to detect burner position and activate the igniter when the knob is turned. It sends a signal to the spark module to generate the electric spark that lights the gas burner. Replace this switch if a burner fails to spark when turned on, sparks continuously even after the flame is lit, or if the igniter clicks but won't stop.
