Exactly what part you replaced.And was there any difference in the problem after and before replacing the part.
------------
as per the problem the possible faulty parts can be Damaged igniter or faulty safety
valve.
1. The thermostat control.
2. The igniter.
3. The automatic valve (also called
the safety valve).
----------
The thermostat, igniter, and safety valve
are wired in a series circuit.
• When the thermostat knob is turned to a
selected setting, electrical contacts in the
thermostat close applying power to the
series ignition circuit.
• With power applied, the ignitor begins to
heat. Electrical resistance in the ignitor
will decrease as the temperature of the
ignitor increases.
• Electrical current in the series circuit
increases in proportion to the drop in
ignitor resistance.
• The igniter limits the electrical
current in the circuit to 3.3 to 3.6 amps.
The surface temperature of the ignitor will
be between 1800° and 2500°F.
• When electrical current has reached the
proper amperage, the automatic safety
valve will open, releasing main burner
gas.
• The ignitor stays energized while the
burner is lit. Once the selected
temperature is reached, the thermostat
contacts will open and remove power from
the ignition circuit. The automatic safety
valve will close after a few seconds, and
the burner flame will go out.
----------And the burner will relight when temp-reaches down from selected.But if the safety gas valve does not open then it will not relight, or if the igniter is weak then it will not relight.The gas pressure is low then it will not let the cook top to relight.When you turn the selector off and turn on,the whole system works as it gets a flow of current.But its not working automatically as it should.Also other possibility can be selector switch/know itself.----------
This possibilities are to be checked.Keep updated.Thanks.Helpmech.
Gary,
What you are asking for is possible in electric units and not in gas ones. The gas supply may start when the temperature reaches the lower limit of the selected range but who to ignite the gas? This may lead to an accidental fire in the kitchen. No cook top will offer what you need. If it was electric then the circuit breaker/maker would have done the job.
Hello &
Welcome to FixYa The problem
is with the ignition device that controls the griddle is bad and needs
replacement. Please check this picture for parts that will help you. Please get
back to me if you have any other questions. Kevin

Thanks for your quick response. I have ordered the part that you suggested. Makes sense to me.
Gary
I replaced the part that you suggested and the cooktop is still having the same problem. Can you help?
Thanks
Gary
I replaced the part that was recommended. It did not fix the problem. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Gary
I do not see the second suggestion. Only the first one that did not solve the problem.
Thank You.
It is more complex than I had hoped. Could be one of several things.
It is clear to me that you know nothing about this cook top. It has been working for a number of years exactly as described but now has failed. I suggest you get the manual and read about it or read the suggested fix for another sender.
Thanks
Gary
