Jenn-Air JDG8430 Ignitor won't stop sparking after burner ignites

After turning on the large burner (bottom left), all igniters continue to spark. All other burners function correctly. This condition happens when other burners are on or off. I have removed the burner and cleaned it along with the igniter. Is this just a bad igniter or a sign of something else? Thanks

I have the same cooktop. The igniter on the top right burner will not shut off when I use the simmer burner on the lower left hand side.

The large front burner won't light using the igniter but will when I use
a match. Regardless they all continue to spark even after it's lit.
All other burner function normally.

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

All cook top burners spark when any is turned on

OK, the best action is to call for service, if the unit was just installed, and purchased. This unit should be covered at this time, by the manufactures warranty, or store 30 day warranty. This repair should be free. The culprit will be a faulty spark ignition switch, and module. Testing is required. Once this switch, or(module), is replaced, the unit will operate correctly.

Bad ignitor needs replacement

it may just need cleaning at where it sparks to the burner if it is sparking back down the electrode then it is cracked . Some igniters pull out others have a screw that holds them in.

Jenn-Air JGC8536 Gas Cooktop ignitor replacement

One burner doesn't consistently light. Igniter sparks but not the same as the other - "good" burners spark at top of igniter and moves around to light, "bad" burner sparks toward the bottom and doesn't move much. I can use the burner by lighting with a match and it works fine. Have tried cleaning with a toothbrush without much success
