Whirlpool WP4456905 Cooktop Igniter Switch Harness Assembly OEM Part

I called a rpair service. The men came to the house, torn apart the stove top and advised Replacement of the wire harness. The trip charge of $100 would be deducted from a repair bill of $350, thus they needed an additional $150 for parts and $100 for labor after paying the trip charge. I bought the harness for $60, and the star bits I needed for my drill for $10. My son and I installed the new harness in about 30 minutes, which included a thorough cleanup, saving us $180.

To change Harns and wire was very simple.Take 1 hr to do the Job.Customer service work grate. Thank you

Changing out the harness wire solved the problem. Best practice is to shut down power and gas for safety. A little shot of WD-40 might help loosen the screws and make them easier to remove on the burners since I needed to take the glass top off of the metal box to replace the damaged harness below. The exploded diagram found on the parts order site was helpful to see where components are but a step by step instruction would have been better but a little tinkering around and eventually the process to resolve the issue came forth. A torx driver will be needed that is not listed in the tools used to remove the burner screws.

Purchased harness for spark and replaced the old harness. tools required was a star screw driver

I received a bid to repair the stove for $500. I decided that it might be best to buy a new one as it was about $800. I did some research and watched the repair video. I removed the glass top and realized it was a simple wire harness that had burned out on one valve. I ordered the part on Sunday and it arrived on Tuesday. When I got home from work the repair took me about 20 minutes from start to finish and it cost me under $50.
