To avoid possible electrical shock, personal injury, or death,
disconnect power and turn off gas supply before servicing,
unless testing requires it.
Service Information
WARNING
!
Surface Burner Module Ignitor
Surface burner module ignitor consists of an electrode,
cap, bracket assembly, and electrode connector.
The electrode, cap, and bracket assembly is mounted in
the center of the surface burner module pan between the
front and rear surface burners.
The electrode connector, mounted to the burner support
base, provides electrical connection between spark
electrode and ignitor plug block.
Follow the procedures below to test the ignitor.
1. Turn of power to the range.
2. Remove surface burner module from maintop.
3. Remove surface burner module top by depressing
module top retainer clips (either side) and lifting the
top off of the module pan.
4. Using an ohmmeter, touch one meter lead to the top
of the electrode cap and other meter lead to the
ground pin which is screw mounted to the rear of the
module pan. Continuity (zero ohms) should be
indicated, check for dirty or loose ground connectors
(electrode bracket and ground pin mounting screws
or loose electrode cap).
NOTE: Electrode cap must have a good ground for
proper spark operation.
5. Remove rear burner mounting screw and burner.
Touch one ohmmeter lead to the tip of the ignitor
electrode (under the electrode cap) and other
ohmmeter lead to the tip of the electrode connector
protruding through the center hole at the rear of
module pan. Continuity (zero ohms) should be
indicated. If a high resistance or no continuity is
indicated, disassemble ignitor, cap, and bracket
assembly from module pan and burner support base.
Disconnect electrode wire lead from electrode
connector, and check each individual component
(electrode and electrode connector) for continuity to
determine the faulty component.
NOTE: Check for cracked or broken ceramic on ignitor
and electrode connector. If damaged, replace
component.
Grill Module Ignitor
Grill module ignition system consist of spark electrode,
which is screwed to grill burner assembly, and flashtube
which is riveted to burner assembly between left and
right grill burners.
Follow the procedures below to check the grill module
ignitor.
1. Turn off power to the range.
2. Remove grill module from maintop.
3. Using an ohmmeter, set to low ohms scale, touch one
meter lead to flashtube and touch other meter lead to
ground pin which is screw mounted to the rear of the
module pan. Continuity (zero ohms) should be
indicated. If a high resistance or no continuity is
indicated, check for loose or dirty ground connections
(burner assembly and ground pin mounting screws).
NOTE: Flashtube must have a good ground for proper
spark operation.
4. The spark electrode can be checked for continuity by
removing it from burner assembly.
a. Remove electrode mounting screw.
b. Carefully bend flashtube shield tab slightly upward
to allow the removal of electrode.
c. Connect ohmmeter leads to the tips of the
electrode. Continuity (zero ohms) should be
indicated. If a high resistance or no continuity is
indicated, replace electrode.
d. Check electrode ceramic for breakage or cracks.
If damage, replace electrode.
