Frequently Asked Questions
•How do I identify the spark module on my cooktop?
The spark module is typically a small, rectangular box located behind the cooktop's control panel. It has multiple wire connectors and is often labeled with the words 'Spark Module' or 'Ignition Module'. Consult the parts diagram for your specific model.
•What voltage should I expect to see at the igniter when the burner is turned on?
The voltage at the igniter is typically a high-voltage pulse, around 10,000 - 20,000 volts AC. However, it's very brief and difficult to measure accurately with a standard multimeter. It's best to visually inspect for a spark when the burner is turned on.
•If I replace the spark module and the clicking continues, what else could be the problem?
If the clicking persists after replacing the spark module, the issue could be a short in the wiring harness to one of the igniters, a faulty igniter switch that is intermittently closing the circuit, or a defective control board sending erroneous signals to the spark module. Further testing with a multimeter is required to isolate the problem.
