Spark igniters continue to spark:

I have GE Profile cook top model JGP963BEK. This morning i spilled some water on top of the range. Though, the cook top is covered with foil, i guess, some water got under front burner heads & control knobs.Now I have a problem that left and right front spark igniters are constantly on. I disconnected power cord, cleaned dry the top and under the burners heads and control knobs, but still after 2 hours igniters are continue to be on in off position.1. Do I need to replace cooktop electrodes? If 'yes', can i just use plier to pull them off and replace with new ones?2. Do I need to replace control elements of the knobs?3. If not 2 above, what needs to be fixed? :)Thanks a lot in advance

When I try to use my gas cooktop, it makes a loud "pop" sound and has a big electrical spark that smells like fireworks then it flips the breaker.. Any ideas??

The electrical wiring under the burners has been short
probably from liquids leaks during cooking.


That is why you had the spark. The only electrical part you
have to your coo top is the electric ignite nothing else. So you should remove
all burners' assemblies from the top so to reach the bottom part where the gas
pipes are located and the ignite part no 318 in drawing Spark module
Part Number:
AP3778816made by GE.



So first you can use a hair
dryer do try it out and be sure there is not and liquid in it and put
electrical plug again to test it. If you still have the same problem, replace
the Spark module with a new one.



Here below you will find the
parts layout of your range for all the help you might need.

My GE Profile JPG636 cooktop has an ignitor problem. It clicks constantly, and all the ignitors on all 5 burners are 'going off'. It happens every 8 or 10 seconds whether we're cooking or not. If anyone...

The most common cause for this issue is from liquid getting into the ignition system for the range. If someone has spilled water or other liquids into the burner knobs or the ignition system it will cause an electrical short in the system causing the igniters to come on constantly when the knobs are off. The fix to this is to unplug the range and wait 24 hours for the liquids to dry up. You can speed up this process with a hair dryer pointed at the burner stems(knobs removed). Once the liquids have dried up the problem should stop. I would not leave it plugged in until then because the ignition system could be damaged from the constant sparking.

GE Profile igniter sparking continuously after water spill

The continuous sparking stopped after few hours. Looks like the water dry up and that fixed the issue.

G.E Profile gas cook top #JGP640 ignitor.

It is sparking because the module does not sense the heat which would normally cause the sparking to stop.

It can be caused by a poor ground, make sure the ignitor at that burner is clean and free from any obstructions. If it is then it could either be a defective ignitor or spark module.
