Have a cook top that sparks ocassionally when cook top is not in use. Sparks more frequently when in use. Gas only comes out when knob turned and operates normally (except for additional sparking while in use). It has simmer feature which will shut flame down and restart every 10-20 seconds on 2 of 5 burners. 2 Parts debating on replacing... Spark Module Kit (igniter) AP2836547 and Control Unit (gas simmer controller, I think) AP3672574. Igniter is working correctly and when knob is turned ignites as usual. Note all igniters (5) spark when any 1 knob is turned, not sure if that is correct or not. Wasn't sure if simmer controller was defective and sending signal to ignite even when in off position. Any thoughts... any type of flame sensor that could be sending bad signal for restart..even when in off position?
