I am guessing on the age it came with my house and could be as old as 8 years. The burners on the right side both spark and light. The 2 on the left don't.
Originally the left front did not spark as much as the others but it did spark and light. Usually it took a while and a big flame at first. We just stopped
using it. I then noticed that the rear left one began acting up. And eventually we stopped using it but it pretty much did the same as the front one. One day I
was cooking in the oven and tried them both and the rear worked. I would guess it had something to do with the heat?
This is what I have tried.
I have switched right to left and still no spark. So it has to do with the location. I have also verified gas by lighting with a match. I took my screw driver today and placed it between the ignitor and the gray part of the burner where spark would usually make contact. The left rear worked and front worked OK. I just figured it had to do with the screw driver not making as large of a spark and maybe they were wired in series and that is why the rear worked.
I again swapped left and right and it is specific to the location not the actual burner. Just taking a guess I would think low voltage or bad ground but leaning toward low voltage. How many volts or amps would I be looking for or is there a module I should check? If so how?
I decided to tear it apart to check for loose connections. Everything looked fine all the grounds were good. So then what I did was swapped out the wires on the spark module and the burner worked. So I assume that is the problem. I just want someone else to say it. The other thing I noticed is one burner had a blue wire while the other were all orange. Why is that? The range has a Power boost burner. It is marked in a different location. I wonder if that is it?
