JGP328wec2ww There is arcing between the harness wire where it is inserted into the spark electrode to the electrode clip but not to the burner at all. The other two burners are igniting normal onto the burner, although there is an occasional arcing to the clip. I've replaced the spark module, wires to spark electrode, spark electrodes, and electrode clips. Cleaned all surface areas around burners and those two still arc. Since I have two working normal, I swap out the wires between one normal and an spark electrode arching . The problem reversed itself, swap the wires back, it went back to original problem. What the heck?

The spark module is in the ignition circuit for the gas burners. When a burner control knob is turned to the Lite position, it provides voltage to the spark electrodes on the gas burners. If the spark module fails to provide the electrodes with voltage, then it should be replaced.

if all of the wires from the spark module to the electrodes are correct and the burner heads are clean. make sure that all orifices are clean, splills, spider webs may prevent the flame from touching the electrode. this must be performed by a professional appliance repair technician.

Hello,

The electrode (spark plug) for that burner is not telling the spark module the burner is lit and go ahead and turn off the spark. That electrode and the wiring on it need to be replaced,from that burner back to the spark module. I found this place online that sells that part http://www.expertappliance.com/partfinder-gas-stove-elite.php

Somethings when we clean the cooktop with a damp rag especially around the knobs moisture can get onto the burner switches. When this happens it creates a short and spark the electrodes. Try to unplug the unit for 24hrs. I have had so many just dry out and never had a problem. If you try this and still get the clicking change out the wire harness part#WB18T10339. Its a series of switches that sit on top of each burner and connected to the spark module. I would recommend changing out the spark module part#WB13T10046. Both of the parts are only around $20-$30 a piece and you will have your cooktop running like new.
Please look at item numbers 323,318 on the picture thats what needs to be changed out



Please rate me a "4" if I helped you. Have a super day!

Electric gas igniters sometimes get stuck in one position causing a clicking sound. The clicking sound that you hear is the electric arc that is pulsing from the igniter conductor (wire) to ground (the gas burner). It receives power from the electrical outlet that the stove is plugged into.
Residue from food and sometimes cleaning products may be preventing the igniter from producing a spark (Arc) to the base of the burner. This is a common problem that occurs when the stove has been cleaned or food is allowed to build up. Make sure that the igniter and the burner base are clean and dry. This will help with proper operation. Oven cleaner and a small tooth brush may be used to accomplish this. Another problem with ignition may occur if you have too little (touching) or too much space between the igniter and the base of the burner; it will prevent the burner from igniting. You should only have a little more space than the thickness of a nickel between the burner base and the igniter. A good "blue" arc from the igniter to the burner base is optimal. If this doesn’t work, you may need to replace the electric igniter module. Good luck.

You have to determine if it is the electrode or the ignitor module and replace the component. A simple test is to swap the wires on the spark module for the non working one and see if the other electrode still works. If not the electrode is bad, if it does than the module is bad.

Make sure the area of the burner base around the spark electrode is clean (use a fine sand paper). The little hole for the gas is open (use a paper clip). You won’t see a flame unless the burner head is on. If this doesn’t help, check the bottom of the spark electrode visually. Make sure the wire is attached to the electrode and is not loose (pull it a little bit.) If the wire or the electrode is damaged, replace it ($25). If not, locate the spark module and switch the connection with another one (they are different colors). If you get flame on the same burner, but not on the other one, replace the spark module ($60). When you work with electrical components, turn the breaker off. When you test, turn it on. Good luck.

Remove all the burner heads and lift the top. Sometimes easier said than done. How do you know it is the module? It could be a cracked insulator on the ignitor. To verify you can swap two of the connections on the module and if it lights then it is the module.

first thing is the spark module(ignitor-- your referring to) is probably good and your electrodes are damaged. more then likely the problem. when you turn on one burner they should all spark( 1 module controls all 5 electrodes) so lets check that, first. when you turn on any/all burners do you at least hear clicking??. theres a switch under each **** that turns on the spark(erhaps one of them is bad. think of the electrodes as spark plugs on a car, they spark the same way, ck to see that they are clean(free from rust and carbon build up).using emory cloth or a woman's finger nail file try "sanding" down to a shiny surface the very tip of the electrode protruding out of the burner head.look for cracks in the porcelin housing around the electrodes this will lead to miss fires of the electrodes
