Thermador cooktop SGCS365RW, Serial # 98090557M

Front xlo burner not lighting.

I ordered AP's AP3872616 (Bosch part No, 497235) potentiometer kit yestereday, received it today.

I installed the new simmer controller and the new potentiometers. The only thing that happened when I tried it was that gas came out of the back right burner, but there was no ignition at any burner.

I replaced the original parts, reversing the two original potentiometers. Then four of the five burners worked again, but not the rear center (xlo). Now the front xlo lites fine.

I called Thermador customer service. Only an authorized repair person can get information from their technicians.

Does the new kit require something other than a simple swap?
Could the simmer controller be defective?
