Why is the spark on my gas stove not working?
Broken ceramic insulation on the spark electrode may result in the gas stove igniter not sparking against the burner head. Replace the electrode if the ceramic insulation is broken. If the electrode is okay, you may need to replace the igniter switch or spark module. These repairs may help solve your gas range problem
How does the spark igniter on a gas cooktop work?
The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed when the burner head is removed. When one burner is turned to LITE, all the burners spark. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on. An electric shock may result, which could cause you to knock over hot cookware.
How many Sparks does a gas oven spark?
The spark electrode produces a continuous spark at the rate of two to four sparks per second. Once the secondary gas pilot light ignites, a thermostat shuts off power to the spark module.
Where is the spark module on a gas burner?
The surface spark module is in the ignition circuit for the gas surface burners. When a surface burner control knob is turned to the ‘Lite’ position, it provides voltage to the spark electrodes on the gas surface burners. If the surface spark module fails to provide the electrodes with voltage, then it should be replaced.

What happens when there is no spark from the ignition coil?
1 Power. Two positions of the ignition switch provide power to the positive primary post of the ignition coil. 2 Signal. With no external signal to the coil negative primary post, voltage would travel through the ignition coil windings without inducing any secondary spark. 3 Flow. 4 Open Circuits.
When do you need to replace spark igniter?
Replace the electrode if the ceramic insulation is broken. If the electrode is okay, you may need to replace the igniter switch or spark module. The spark igniter electrode-also called the surface burner igniter-is an insulated electrode that provides an ignition spark to light a surface gas burner.
