buildup around the igniter and operate burner again.
2. If still inoperative, disconnect power to the range.
3. Remove the control panel from the range.
4. Disconnect the wire harness from the inoperative
spark module.
5. Reconnect power and test for 120 VAC from the
black to the white wire.
6. If 120 VAC is present, disconnect power and
reconnect wire harness. (If no 120 VAC, check
wiring.)
7. Remove the grate, burner cap, and burner head.
8. Disconnect the black wire from the back of the spark
module.
9. Check for 0 ohms between the black wire and the
