Operating manuals Igniters

Hi,
Here is a tip that I wrote to help people troubleshoot problems with their cooktops not igniting.

You will need to change the Igniter. There are at least 2 igniters that operate with one knob. Some units all 4 igniters operate with one knob. The clicking you hear is the other Igniter or Igniters clicking. The Igniter for the burner that does not light has failed.

The model number you passed is missing some numbers JGP628 should be like this JGP628BEC1BB or this JGP628WEK1WW

The Igniters are NOT all the same:

AP 3191250

or...

It can even be a wire to the electrode / igniter that has found a chassis ground inside the cooktop.

When you have a complete model number go to this page and choose your model number:

The item you may need is item 154 of the cooktop.

Thanks for using FixYa!

You're gas burner has an electronic ignition that you're hearing. Sometimes they can get gunked up and become sticky. If you have been using the stovetop regularly and this problem suddenly appeared, we can assume that the power grounding and polarity are correct. If this is all true, then an igniter or igniters are either wet or dirty. Unplug the electricity and thoroughly clean the burner pieces and specifically the igniters (little separate cylinder next to each burner) with a sponge or other non-abrasive dishrag and hot soapy water. Make sure all the burners and igniters are completley dry, plug unit back into electric outlet. If problem persists,call an authorized repair person as you may need 1 or more igniters replaced.
Good luck

As I did not see what occurred, I suspect that the tea kettle boiled over and sent water into the burners. The igniters kept clicking and I eventually turned the gas back on. Will have to replace one igniter which apparently went out and have to light it manually at this point.

I have the same problem all but one burner. When using the other burners the igniters keep sparking after being lit. What do I replace?

when you cleaned the unit you may have gotten water in side the igniter, dry it out w/ a hair dryer. Once dry should work .

when you turn any burner control to lite all ignitors should click this is normal industry wide. the ignitors are controlled by switches that are placed over the valve shafts they are wired up together so thats why they all click when you only operate one valve don't worry about it. the ignitor stays on untill you back the valve off a tad this is also normal.

The igniter nozzle are busted

did the water fall on the spark module do you hear a faint click ,igniters dont go bad if they get wet if you say theres power going to the cooktop then you might have a bad spark module.

I would try cleaning the burners. You can purchase cleaning brushes made specifically for this purpose and they work like a charm.
