    Thank you - the piece is actually orange and rectangular. It sits in the back right under the burners. I ignitor switch wire have been tested and are good so we determined that it's the ignitor module. However you mentioned the spark module which we did not test. Is it possible that I'm deducting the wrong part needs to be replaced? According to my instruction booklet it is an Explorer BO613. What further information do you need?

    According to my appliance service man - it's the ignition module not the oven ignitor.

    This is regarding the burner ignition not the oven directly.

Patricia, if you're talking about the oven igniter and it's rectangular in shape (not round) the part number is WB2X9998 and lists for about $40.00. This is an igniter built by GE, but is universal to all brands using this style igniter and is available at any local appliance part retailer. But, if your talking about a "spark module"... I'll need the full model number to help you further. (B0613 didn't show up in my data) Hint---> before removing an oven igniter, apply a few drops of dish washing liquid to the threads of the fasteners. This will act as a lubricant and allow the fasteners to be removed without stripping or hassle and (after the job is done) won't smell bad when you use your oven again.

    Patricia, here is the last known address and phone number for Explorer:

    Explorer Appliance Corp.
    7010 Carroll Road
    San Diego, CA 92192
    Phone: 858.587.9766
    Fax: 858-587 9865

    I tried to call them on your behalf, but the phone number has been disconnected. Upon further investigation, I've found that Explorer has gone out of business amidst a cloud of negative reviews and customer complaints. (They've also given up their website... http://explorerappliances.com/!)

    So... now that leaves us with few options with regard to parts. We know that "Explorer" did not actually manufacture the spark/igniter module, they purchased it from an as yet unknown manufacturer and installed it on your B0613. Our job now is to find who actually made your spark module and find one or find an alternative for it. (maybe like this? -->http://www.repairclinic.com/SmartSearch/... )

    In order to do this, please provide any information you can about the module itself. There should be info stamped or "stickered" on it. Part number, manufacturer, etc...

    Pictures of it would be even MORE help. If you can take photos of it, then upload them to a place like tinypic.com, then post links to them, that would be great.

Ignitor wont glow
It might be cracked or broken. I would carefully remove it (don't drop it), and put an ohmmeter across the contacts. You should get a reading of 500 ohms or less, but not 0 (meter leads shorted to each other).

If the reading is higher, either you don't have the meter leads actually touching the terminals, or the part faulty.

But if it's not faulty, then the ignitor's power source is not feeding it electricity. In this case, the heat sensing circuit may be bad, usually caused by a faulty thermostatic device.

There also may be a loose wire connection inside the unit.

You can test all of the above with a voltmeter. Put the leads, one in each terminal on the ignitor socket, and have someone else start the dryer.

It probably won't work with the ignitor removed, but there should be a slight jump on the volt meter if the circuit is working properly.

I usually don't bother with all that. There's far fewer different ignitor elements than there are appliances that use them, so you can almost always find the one you need in stock, in town.

Take the old one along. Some parts distributors will test the one you bring in, because if they didn't, they wouldn't know what's going on.

If the ignitor is good, they usually know which part failed, because parts guys know which parts fail most on any appliance.

Heater blower goes on an smells like gas and doesn't light
The ignitor is not working. I don't know what kind of ignition your heater has but it is either a thermal ignitor or a spark ignitor. In either case the problem could be in the ignitor or the board that supplies the power to the ignotor.

First of all, be careful while looking into the system when the gas comes on because it could unexpectedly ignite and burn you.

If your unit contains an ignitor it should glow brightly when the gas starts. If it is glowing then it is probably not glowing brightly enough or not in the right place and therefore needs to be either replaced or repositioned. If it is not glowing then you should measure the voltage using a volt/ohm meter going to the ignitor. If it reads about 115 then the ignitor is broken and needs to be replaced. If it reads much lower voltage then the board that supplies power to it probably has a problem on it. It may be a defective relay, bad solder joint or some other problem. I would first re-solder the relay connections to the board and see if that fixes it. Otherwise the board will need to be replaced.

If the unit has a spark ignitor and you hear a spark sound it may be too low power or the spark probe might be in the wrong place and therefore not delivering the spark to the fuel air mixture. If you don't hear the spark then you may have a bad relay or bad solder joint to it.

Please let me know how this works out. Thank you.

Hello,

The ignitor is bad again,if it (ignitor) comes on but no flame/heat its the ignotor again, what would make the ignotor go bad so fast (usually last 10-15 years) is a problem with the oven burner, so now BOTH the ignitor and burner would need to be replaced,if it is 15 years old the ignitor is readily avaliable but the burner may not be

most likely it will be the ignitor,even though it glows it doesn't mean the ignitor is good.it works on amps.a flat ignitor takes 3.2 amps to open the gas valve and a round ignitor takes 2.5 amps to open the valve,the only way to check it is to replace it and i would or if you have an amp meter with a clamp on it you just stick one of the wires going to the ignitor inside the clamp and it will tell you how many amps are coming out of the ignitor.buy a new ignitor and you should be fine.it calls for ignitor part number 31940001 and it's around 50 dollars.

I have been using the grill for about a year now. All of a sudden the electronic igniter dosen't spark on all control knobs. I checked the battery and replaced it with a new one. It did not change...
First, Bud make sure the battery was installed facing the proper direction. The Positive end (+) should be facing out when installed. If that's not the problem, check the wiring from the ignition module to the each burner ignitor. One may be loose or the grounding wire from the ignitor module to the grill's frame, may have lost contact. Also, look carefully at each ignitor tip at the burners. They may have an accumulation of grease, which needs to cleaned off.

If all that doesn't resolve the problem, you will need to replace the ignitor module. You can purchase one online directly from NEX Grill http://www.nexgrill.net/ or from Factory Appliance Parts

Hope this helped you troubleshoot and solve the problem. Please let me know and Happy Grilling!!

Range top ignitor stopped working. electronic panel and oven work normally. Any idea what the problem is?
Hi, your spark module,for ignitor could be damage, sometimes they burnt out, or could be broken wires, or corrosion at electrical connection, (terminal) , normally it's spark module, that's faulty or burnt out. let mechanic check. or remove range plug from receptacle, and lift top of range, check all electrical wiring, check all connection for rust (corrosion) clean and retry range, if it didn't work, call mechanic to check spark module. good luck.

Integra fan convection - rsa regency
you might be able to just clean the ignitor to get it working again. Take it out and give it a good cleaning. If that doesn't work then it could be your spark module. If it is your spark module it will have to be replaced. I have replaced spark modules and ignitors of ovens or ranges that you can no longer get parts for with whirlpool modules and ignitors. There are basically two types, just make sure you get the same type. One type , typically used by GE uses a continous ignitor that glows when it works, and Whirlpool (on most models) uses the spark module and ignitor that makes the clicking sound like your oven did for ignition.
