Gas hob keeps sparking all the time
check the ignition button or its wiring, the button may be broken and 'on' all the time, or the wires underneath broken off and shorted together.

Jenn Air C221 element only goes to high?
Based on the symptoms described, it is possible that the issue lies with the ceramic element that the burners connect to at the back of the burner unit. This could be causing a short circuit between the two burners, which is preventing the large burner from being adjusted lower when both burners are on.
It is also possible that there is an issue with the wiring or connections between the two burners, which is causing a similar short circuit. However, given that the smaller burner appears to be working fine, this seems less likely.
Another potential cause of this issue could be a problem with the control board or another component of the stove's electrical system. However, given that replacing the infinite switch and receptacle for the large burner did not resolve the issue, it seems less likely that this is the root cause.
In order to determine the exact cause of this issue, it may be necessary to consult with a professional appliance repair technician who can diagnose and repair the stove.

Domain ceramic cooktop cec70 will not turn off
If your ceramic cooktop model CEC70 is not turning off, there are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:
1. Check the controls: Ensure that you have properly followed the instructions to turn off the cooktop. Some models may require you to press and hold a specific button or combination of buttons to power off the cooktop. Refer to the user manual for your specific model for detailed instructions on turning it off.
2. Power cycling: Try power cycling the cooktop by turning off the power at the circuit breaker or unplugging it from the power source. Leave it unplugged or with the power off for a few minutes before plugging it back in or turning the power back on. This can sometimes help reset the controls and resolve any temporary issues.
3. Control lock: Check if the cooktop has a control lock feature that might be activated. Some models have a lock function to prevent accidental changes to the settings. Look for a button or key combination that activates or deactivates the control lock. Refer to the user manual for instructions specific to your model.
4. Contact customer support: If the issue persists, it is recommended to reach out to the manufacturer's customer support or consult a professional technician who specializes in appliance repairs. They will be able to provide further guidance or arrange for a service visit to diagnose and fix the problem.
Remember, when dealing with electrical appliances, it's always important to prioritize safety. If you encounter any unusual or potentially hazardous situations, such as smoke, sparks, or strong odors, immediately turn off the power supply and contact a professional technician for assistance.

Can anyone tell me the specs I would need in a varistor to replace the one from my Iwatani induction cooktop?
o determine the specifications for the varistor to replace the one on your Iwatani induction cooktop, you will need to know the voltage rating and the maximum current the varistor can handle.
One way to determine these specifications is to check the datasheet for the original varistor, which may be available from Iwatani or the varistor manufacturer. If you cannot find the datasheet, you can try measuring the resistance of the varistor with a multimeter, which can give you an idea of the voltage rating. However, keep in mind that the resistance may change as the varistor ages or if it has already failed.
Additionally, you may need to know the peak current that the varistor can handle. This information may be available on the datasheet or on the original varistor if there are any markings left. If you cannot determine the peak current, a general rule of thumb is to choose a varistor with a maximum surge current rating that is higher than the maximum current that the circuit can deliver.
It's important to choose a varistor with the correct voltage rating and peak current handling capability, as using an incorrect varistor can potentially cause further damage to your induction cooktop or pose a safety hazard
