Surface Burner Valve And Switch - GE Monogram ZDP486ND Technical Service Manual

Surface Burner Valve and Switch

Each surface burner valve utilizes a switch. When a
burner knob is turned to the ON position, the valve
switch closes and activates the spark module and
the LED light. Each surface burner valve switch is
installed on the front of the burner valve body. The
switches are all wired to a single harness and are
replaced as one assembly. It is necessary to remove
the valve to access the switch.
Note: The following describes the procedure to
remove a single burner valve and switch. The
procedure to remove the remaining valves and
switches is identical.
To remove the surface burner valve and switch:
1. Remove the burner pan located over the valve
and switch to be replaced. (See
