One of our burner has no spark for ignition..other four are working fine. I opened to look under the burner...wire connection area was dark...may be burned (or is it normal due to heat)....Should I replace the wire? how? where can I get it? Thanks for your help.
I have the similar problem as Yhamla. However, there is no evidence of burned area on wire connectors. I tried switching orifice 'spuds' asm 'tubes' & 'air-mixers', around to different burner positions, but the problom of NOT 'sparking' stays with the 'Gas Valve' which feeds the 'left rear' burner, regardless of which burner I run the asm tube to. This leads me to think that the 'Gas Valve' is the problem? I suppose I should actually remove/switch the asm tube from that gas valve to a different valve to confirm it?
If the problem is with the Gas Valve, is it difficult to replace the valve? The way to remove it doesn't look obvious. Does it unscrew or is it pressed on somehow? Any helo is appreciated! Thanks
You have one of three problems first the ceramic ignighter is bad second the switch on the eye is bad or there is corrosion on the burner cap first sand the underside of the cap if that doesn't work raise the top and take the wire off of a burner that's working and hook it to the ignighter that's not turn it to light if the ignighter sparks the switch is bad if not the ignighter is bad don't worry about the valve if you suspect it then turn it to low and light it with a match
get a couple of boards a little bigger than the opening the cooktop sits in then under neath remove the clips on the edges that hold the cook top down push it up with one hand and place the boards under it if there are small screws arount the burners remove them and the knobs then raise the cook top up to acess the switches the switches just snap on to the valves and are replaced in sets of 4

I think the small pores through which the gas is coming out is deposited with carbon,clean it with a pointed object

Sand the wire with sand paper cleans of the black stuff and after that you should have a spark

Hi,
Yes this is arcing, and should be replaced. If it is still atatched, you may be able to move it away from an area that it is arcing onto, and give it a try. Wery often it is just items in close proximity that causes the issue.
If you are sure it is not sparking just on that burner, there may be a spark going somewhere - you just have to find out where it is arcing to.
Listen for a spark, and tell us if it sounds like it is working (just not visible) or no sound at all.
Try cleaning the spark tip to remove any food deposits, and check the gap is similar to the others. If it is too wide, it won't spark either.

I have the similar problem as Yhamla. However, there is no evidence of 'burned' area on wire connectors. I get no ignition on rear left burner.
**I tried switching orifice 'spuds' asm 'tubes' & 'air-mixers' to different burners, but the problom of NOT 'sparking' stays with the 'Gas Valve' which FEEDS the 'left rear' burner, regardless of which burner I run the asm tube to.
This leads me to think that the 'Gas Valve' is the problem? (I suppose I could remove/switch the asm tube from that(rear-left) gas valve to a different valve to confirm it?)
*If the problem is the Gas Valve, is it difficult to replace this valve? The way to remove it doesn't look obvious. Does it unscrew,soldered, or is it pressed on somehow? Any help is appreciated! Thanks
Regarding the problem of no spark/ignition or spark-ticking to only 1 of the 5 burners on this cooktop(GE Profile JGP636), I'm now certain that the problem is with the Valve 'Switch' which sits on top of the Gas Valve. I have the part number,However I need some instruction on HOW TO REMOVE THIS VALVE SWEITCH? Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks.
