Whirlpool WPY0316705 Switch, Spark (270 De OEM Part

I sent an e-mail to customer service and explained to them that I had lifted the Amana cooktop from the counter and it appeared to be a sealed unit. Not certain how to take it apart, I asked for the service manual or description on how to access the unit for repair. The next day customer service / technical support sent me a PDF, and after printing out and reading it - decided that the unit was repairable by removing (8) screws from the burners, and (2) screws from underside of the burner knobs. I took the unit apart and cleaned everything and inspected the unit. I then decided to replace one of the switches that had grease underneath it, and the ignition control unit. I ordered the parts, received them in (2) days. During that following weekend I was able to successfully repair the unit. I also took the time to repair the brackets that hold the burners underneath. I think that oven cleaner gets down there. I cleaned them with a wire wheel, removing the rust. I then used some primer and silver paint to hopefully stop the rust. The brackets are no longer available. I am still going to replace one of the gas valves, and all of the burners - since I want to keep the unit. Needless to say, we don't need the Scripto Barbeque Grill lighter now! All of our appliances match, and If I change one - the kitchen is going to look "funny". The appliance styles are different now in 2014 than they were when the kitchen was redone in 2000.

Turned out to be two problems - spark switches problem and the modulator. Replaced all four switches and modulator. Running down 2 problems took the time. Had to fix the first problem, the modulator to fine the second problem - hence two separate orders.
