Possible Causes

Failed spark module, no power to ignition module, shorted spark switch harness, moisture in ignition system

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power and gas supply before accessing internal components.

  • Check power: Verify the cooktop is receiving 120 V at its junction box or cord connection.
  • Dry moisture: If the cooktop was recently cleaned, allow it to dry completely. Moisture around burner switches can cause faults.
  • Inspect spark module: Access the underside of the cooktop. Locate the spark ignition module and check for burned spots or loose connectors.
  • Check switch harness: Inspect the harness from the burner knobs (spark switches) to the module for shorts or damage.
  • Replace module: If power is present and wiring is intact but no burners spark, replace the spark ignition module.
