Description

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

What's included: One valve-mounted igniter switch Install notes:

• 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
