Its called the ignitor & need replacement, however installation is tricky

Usually this is from moisture getting into a spark ignitor switch, which is located under your burner knobs. A pan boiling over, someone cleaning your cooktop and using a sprayer, too much water on a sponge, very high humidity, can all get moisture into a switch. Recommend you unplug your cooktop for a few days and see if your switch dries out. Plug it back in an see if it works properly again. If it doesn't then you will have to replace one, or all of the switches, depending if they come seperately or in a set. This entails removing the top of the cooktop, which can be very difficult if not impossible in some cases. Heat and corrosion go together, so in just a few years the screws or nuts that hold the burners down onto the cooktop are so corroded that you cannot remove them without chiseling the nuts off or drilling out the screws, which then damages the burner bodies underneath. Can make it unrepairable in some cases. Drying the unit out works about 80% of the time. Good Luck, Appliance Specialists

Do a thorough cleanup of the burner and the igniter ... be careful to not break the ignighter.

Hi

If the burner is not burning hot, and there is a low flame then this is often a pressure regulator problem. Most often the regulator is found where the gas line enters the gas range. I have a picture of what the flame characteristics should look like. If the igniter on different burner doesn’t work, and there is no spark at that burner then you will have to check the same items as mentioned above. This is a typical spark module wire diagram.

Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved or else revert for further assistance.

Here is a disassembly video. A loose knob problem can be tackled by pulling off the knob, encircling the cracked plastic with a zip tie (after putting Loctite glue in the cracks), pulling the zip tight. Don't lose the sleeve when you pull off the knob. But if this is not working for your setup, here is the disassembly, not your model but maybe useful: https://www.google.com/search?q=whirlpool+gas+top+disassembly

Can you get to the switch terminals and try jumping them out with a piece of insulated wire? That would tell you if the switch is defective (my suspicion). Please be careful not to touch any live terminals - only the wire insulation you use for the jumper.
