Whirlpool 1430322 Spark Module OEM Part

The spark module for my 1990 Caloric Model RSS398 Natural Gas double oven range stopped functioning. I tried to get the part at a local appliance parts store and was unsuccessful as they said the part was discontinued. I called the Appliance Parts Pros help line and spoke to an excellent service tech who took the time and made the effort to reference, cross reference, and find a part that was different in configuration, but functionally the same. The replacement part required modifications to the mounting bracket and to the two igniter wire female end disconnects. The AC power disconnects to the spark module fit without any modifications. The replacement unit high voltage male terminals were smaller in size than the originals and would not accept the old larger igniter wires. Rather than cut the igniter wire disconnects off and put on smaller female disconnects, I was able to modify the correct smaller size female disconnect ends to fit into the old larger igniter wire disconnects. This now allowed the old igniter wires to be connected directly to the smaller male spark module high voltage terminals. I was a little skeptical that the replacement module would work, but as of this communication everything is functioning without any problems. Because of the modifications the installation took approximately 2 and 1/2 hours from start to finish. This was a lot easier than replacing the double oven range which probably would have required major modifications to the cabinetry, counter tops. and exhaust fan hood. In addition to the cost of a new unit. Thank you Rachael for your help

Had already removed old spark module to get part number. The replacement part arrived very quickly. Attached the 2 adapters by striping back the cover on the wires inserting the wire into adapter and closing the adapters with pliers. This took about 10 minutes. reconnected the four wires to new spark module. One minute. Attached new module to stove with screw. One minute. Then attached the cover plate,with 2 screws. Lowered Lid . Plugged the stove back in outlet. It works perfectly. Less than 15 minutes altogether. I am a 72 year old woman and found the repair very easy and and cost less than paying someone else for estimate, parts and labor. The hard part was trying to find the part. My stovetop is 34 years old. Part number did not work, neither did the model number. I went by picture and specs to order. But the replacement part you sent works great. I don't always attempt to do own repairs, but your online video looked easy and it was in fact very easy.

I went the route of replacing the spark module on my caloric RLT360 range. It seemed to be the most likely candidate given how the problem was with all 4 burners. This unit has two physical spark generating Units with four burners. When the problem occurs with an apparent weak or non existing spark, it happened with all 4 burner controls. The part came in about 2 days later, so delivery was just wonderful. The only complaint I have was that two of the connectors on the new spark module were much smaller than the original connectors. I took a quick trip to Radio Shack, and paid $3 for some smaller connectors. I already had the tool to cut, strip, crimp the new connectors onto the old wires so that I could try out the new spark module. It'so only been a week, but I haven't seen any problems yet. What was odd was that two replacement connectors came with the spark module. However, they were the large sized parts, not the small ones. Really, it was no big deal to go get some new connectors.

I watched the how to video at appliances parts pros. My stove was similar to the one in the video.I unplugged the stove, turned off the gas valve,disconnected the gas line, removed a couple of screws from the cover, and replaced the module transferring the wires one by one just like the video.Replaced the cover, re-connected the gas line and electrical plug. Easy fix in about 20 minutes.

I ordered a Spark Module...installed it and that fixed the problem. Part came very quickly, was easy to replace, and now it works as it should
