One front burner ignites but the igniters continue to spark. when all other burners ignite the igniters immediately stop sparking. this problem started right after spilling some water on burner.

you have a bad set of switches and or a spark mod..

Not bad, it works by itself

Hi,
Here is a tip that I wrote to help people troubleshoot problems with their cooktops not igniting.

I have the same problem all but one burner. When using the other burners the igniters keep sparking after being lit. What do I replace?

is this a sealed burner unit? if so the burner base (the heavy brass part under the burner cap) has to be sitting just right. you will notice that it has holes around the the sides make sure that where your ignitor sparks to it that it aligns with the lowest hole on the burner base. if you have a great flame all around the burner after checking what i mentioned i would replace the spark module. if it continues to drive you crazy with the noise - just unplug it. the burners will continue working fine without power.

sounds like you have a bad switch. maybe on the large burner.. some of those switches can be replaced without the whole harness.

the sparking is one of the switches under the knobs shorted you may be able to open the top and take a switch off 1 at a time and you can figure out what one is shorted.or you can just change all of them.
to stop this you may be able to just unplug the cooktop from under the top.if you unplug the cooktop you should be able to light the burners with a match.

Test the ignitor first, if the ignitor does not spark should be the ignitor itself.

replace the igniter.

the igniter switch are stuck /need clean contactor of the igniter .
